Backpacks and Lockers:
All student backpacks/bags are expected to be stored in student lockers once they arrive on campus. Backpacks/bags are not to be used on campus throughout the day. We have plenty of time between class periods to access book lockers and pick up all materials needed for their classes.
No locker sharing/swapping. Each student has been assigned a locker for this school year, do not share your locker with anyone and do not share your combination. Keep your items secure.
Student Behavior Expectations:
Please review the school rules and expectations that are found in the student handbook.
Cell Phones/Air pods/Earbuds are not to be used during the school day. The first violation, the device will be brought to the office. On the second violation, parents/guardians will be required to pick up their student's device from the school office as well as detentions being assigned to the student. We ask that all guardians review appropriate cell phone responsibility with their students.
Students that are seen video recording on the campus will be given a Tuesday after school/Saturday School or an off-campus suspension.
Students, keep your hands to yourself and respect the space of others.
Play fighting/fighting is unacceptable on campus and will lead to a meeting with administration and disciplinary actions, which may include Tuesday after school/Saturday School/or Off Campus Suspension. Students, your actions are a reflection of Sequoia Middle School. If you are having a conflict with a student, please report report report. We are here to assist.
Students must listen to the directions of all the adults on campus. Campus Supervisors are here to support campus safety.
For the safety of all students, we need to walk on campus and not run.
