House System Update
House Points
Finally, at this time Salubritas has a scale factor of 1.3. This means that each point is worth 1.3 because of the size of the House. As we enroll and drop students, this may change.
If there are any students that need to be added or dropped at this time, email Ms. Benson.

Cell Phone Policy
Support Your Teammates: All for One and One for ALL!
Below you will find the Device Policy for our Campus.
As agreed upon during In-Service, we will all enforce the policy as to not make "bad guys" on campus of our fellow teammates. As a reminder, we agreed that one warning is fair, but then the phone will be taken up and turned into the office. This is the rule across the board. If you are using phones for academic purposes, make sure you have a procedure in place where phones are properly turned off and stored before entering the hallway. Finally, we do not allow cellphone charging in class.
Thank you for your compliance on this directive.

Cell Phone/Electronic Device Policy
It is against policy for any student to use a cell phone or pager during class or in the hallways from the time they arrive until the end of the school day unless they have been given specific permission from a teacher or administrator for its use.
· Students are completely responsible for the phone device at all times.
· Phones must be turned off at all times on campus.
· Phones are to be kept out of sight (e.g. backpack or pocket).
· If it is used, displayed or heard without permission during school hours, the device will be confiscated and sent to the office.
· The device will not be available for return to the owner until after two school days have elapsed from the date of confiscation.
· To retrieve a confiscated device, a parent/guardian must come to school, show a photo ID, and complete a request form. This must be done during posted school hours on regular school days.
· Parents/guardians must also pay a $15.00 fee in cash or money order. (No checks will be accepted.)
· Repeat offenders or students who refuse to comply with this policy will be subject to additional disciplinary measures.
Uniform Procedures
Modifications
Moving forward, uniform Violation will be handled via After-school Detention instead of Saturday School. Please discard any Saturday School passes and replace with After-school detention passes placed in your boxes.
We are working on getting uniform items for those in need. We are also working on skirt checkouts. Please email or call Ashley Ayala for questions or concerns regarding uniform assistance needs.
The following is still the procedure. Thank you for reinforcing school expectations.
Uniform Checks during MM and Regular Class Periods
Mentoring Minds
Students are required to be in uniform at all times.
In order to allow the student to correct the uniform infraction, the student will be allowed to call parents to get the correct items by the end of Mentoring Minds.
If a student arrives out of uniform, please allow the student to use your classroom phone to contact her parent or guardian.
If they are unable to correct the uniform infraction, write a uniform violation pass and notify the designated Assistant Principal via text or email before the end of class.
Regular Class Periods
Students are required to be in uniform at all times.
Teachers will ensure that all students are in uniform while on campus.
Check uniform as the students enter your class every period.
Your bellringer should be clearly posted in your room. Students should enter and have clear procedures and routines to move right into learning.
Since your routines are in place, stand at the door and greet the students while actively monitoring student behaviors in the hallway.
As you greet the students, maintain a friendly demeanor as you scan for uniform infractions.
If the student is out of uniform, she should have a uniform violation pass signed by an administrator or her MM teacher.
If she does not have a pass, please write her a uniform violation notify the Assistant Principals via text or email before the end of class.
If the uniform infraction can be quickly remedied without leaving the class, have the student take care of it immediately.
The student should still receive a uniform violation because it is the expectation for students to be in uniform at all times while on campus.
