BUILDING ENTRANCE AND DEPARTURE
Students are permitted in the Commons area after 7:00am. All students must sign in at the main office after 7:55 am. Entrance after
this time should be done at the Indiana Street entrance using the security buzzer system. Students are expected to depart the building
by 4:00pm unless participating in an organized activity under the supervision of a faculty member or waiting for a bus arrival.
FINES, FEES, and CHARGES; WAIVER OF STUDENT FEES
The school establishes fees and charges to fund certain school activities. All students are expected to pay a registration fee, which is
set annually by the Board of Education. Additional fee charges can be issued for classes requiring labs and/or workbooks. Some
students may be unable to pay these fees. Students will not be denied educational services or academic credit due to the inability of
their parent or guardian to pay fees or certain charges. Students whose parent or guardian is unable to afford student fees may receive
a fee waiver. A fee waiver does not exempt a student from charges for lost and damaged books, netbooks, locks, materials, supplies,
and/or equipment.
Applications for fee waivers may be submitted by a parent or guardian of a student who has been assessed a fee. A student is eligible
for a fee waiver if the student currently lives in a household that meets the income guidelines, with the same limits based on the
household size, that are used for the federal free meals program. The building principal will give additional consideration where one or
more of the following factors are present:
•
An illness in the family;
•
Unusual expenses such as fire, flood, storm damage, etc.;
•
Seasonal employment;
•
Emergency situations; or
•
When one or more of the parents/guardians are involved in a work stoppage.
Within 30 days, the building principal will notify the parent/guardian if the fee waiver request has been denied, along with the
appropriate appeal process. If you have questions regarding the fee waiver process, you may contact the building principal at (815)
844-6113.
