School Policies
Lockers and Electronics:
Students in grades 2-8 are issued a locker; students in grades 5-8 are issued a combination lock for that locker, which must be locked at all times. Electronics are not to be seen or used at any time anywhere on school property. They are to be kept turned off in the student's book bag in his/her locker.
Illness Policy:
If your child is ill while at home, please keep him/her at home. Your child may return to school only if he/she has been fever-free (99 degrees or less) for 24 hours, has not been vomiting for 24 hours, and is generally feeling better. This rule also applies to those children who are sent home from school for illness.
Medication at School:
All prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medication, including Tylenol, ibuprofen, Rolaids, etc., that is to be taken at school must have an Administration of Medication form completed by the doctor and parent.
Cough drops may be given with a note from the parent and kept in the office for storage.
Students may not keep medication in purses, lunch boxes, book bags, or in lockers.
Dress Code:
All uniforms can be purchased from Shaheens.
All students may wear plain sweaters or sweatshirts that are solid red, gray, or navy blue in the classroom. (Jackets, hoodies, and coats are not permitted in the classroom.) Spirit wear may be worn on approved, announced days.
All students may not wear hats, tattoos, hair of an unnatural color, or any scented body product (due to allergies).
Elementary (grades K-5):
Boys are to wear navy blue pants with white or light blue shirts. Shoes and socks are required. Hair must be conventional in style. Boys’ hair cannot be grown beyond the collar line in the back or hang over the ears and eyebrows Boys may not wear piercings or sandals.
Girls are to wear navy blue or plaid jumpers (that extend to the top of the knee when sitting and standing) with white or light blue shirts. For modesty, (fingertip-length) shorts, leggings, or tights must be worn under the skirts at all times. Shoes are required.
Middle School (grades 6-8):
Boys are to wear khaki or navy blue pants with white or light blue shirts. Shoes and socks are required. Hair must be conventional in style. Boy's hair cannot be grown beyond the collar line in the back or hang over the ears and eyebrows. Boys may not wear piercings or sandals.

Discipline System:
All students are expected to conduct themselves in a respectful, Christian manner at all times. They are expected to exhibit excellent classroom behavior; poor behavior greatly interferes with learning. It is important that students know what is expected of them and the consequences for not meeting those expectations.
Elementary (grades K-5): Our elementary discipline system is operated through rewards (for good behavior), warnings, written sentences, loss of recess or other privileges, checks given by teachers, after-school detention (grades 3-5), discipline notices, isolation from the classroom, parent pick-up, behavior intervention meetings, suspension, and expulsion.
Middle School (grades 6-8): Our middle school discipline system is operated through rewards (for good behavior), warnings, demerits, in-school detentions, after-school detentions, isolation from the classroom, parent pick-up, behavior intervention meetings, suspension, and expulsion.
