Handbook Corner:
Remaining After School Students may not remain after school except for participation in school-related activities such as academics, sports or detention. Students must be under the direct supervision of a teacher or coach. At the conclusion of the period of direct supervision, students are to report directly to the main lobby to await a ride. There is no longer a late bus for transportation. Failure to comply with these procedures will result in the student being placed on disciplinary probation and the revocation of all afterschool privileges.
