General rules
1. Students
can arrive for school as early as 7:40 am; unless they are coming in for a club
or group activity.
2. When
in homeroom students should have a book out to read or a textbook to study
after his or her books are unpacked. No homework will be allowed to be
completed during homeroom. There will be no talking during homeroom. If a
student is caught doing homework the homework with be taken.
3. Students
will stand silently for prayers and the pledge each morning. They will face
front to the cross and the flag for the pledge. Students will not be permitted
to walk around during prayers or the pledge.
4. All
notes for the office, the teacher, or another teacher should be brought up to
my desk immediately. If there are signature forms that will be collected please
hold onto the forms until asked by the teacher to turn them in. This includes
homework sheets, reading logs, field trip forms, etc…
5. Occasionally
there will be information about the day’s events on the board; students are to
check the board each morning upon arrival to see if any information is present.
6. When
a student arrives after 8:00 am he or she is considered late. Before entering
the classroom he or she must have a late slip from the office. Any student who
arrives after 11:00 am will be considered absent for ½ the day. Being late can
cause a student to become behind in their studies. Please make sure students
are not late.
7. The
closet is to be kept neat and orderly throughout the day. No backpacks, coats,
sweatshirts, hats, departmental bags, or lunch boxes should be on the floor.
Please use the hooks and shelves to place all materials. Anything left on the
floor is subject to being confiscated or thrown away.
Mass
Every Friday
the seventh and eighth grade will go to Mass together. Students are to be in
school no later than 7:50 am on Fridays for 8:00 Mass. If a student should
arrive at school between 7:50 and 8:00 he or she is to leave their bags in the
science lab and come directly to church. Students who arrive after 8:00 am and
are receiving a late slip should remain the office until the class returns to
the school. If a student is found anywhere but the office or church on a Friday
morning he or she is considered out of bounds and will receive demerits for the
offense.
Snack/Lunch
Students are not permitted to bring lunch boxes to their other
classes for snack. Snack should be separate and should accompany the student to
their class. The morning snack should be something small, like pretzels or
chips. Lunch boxes are to stay in the closet until lunch.
Students will return to the classroom prior to lunch.
They will be required to put away their books, get their lunches, and pray
before leaving to go the lunch room. Students are to come into the room and quietly
complete the tasks, then sit quietly so we can pray as a class.
Dismissal
At the end of most days students will be given 10 minutes
to begin their homework. They should also use this time to collect the books
from their desks that they want and need to take home with them. At 2:20,
students will begin packing up their stuff to go home. Students should do this
quietly. Once a student is packed they are to sit at their desks and read or
study. Prayer is at 2:25. Students will be expected to pray silently at their
desks. If they have not finished packing up their belongings they are to stop
what they are doing immediately and stand quietly where they are to pray. After
prayers students are to sit quietly at their seats reading or studying, waiting
for their line to be called. When their line is called students are to go
directly to their lines. If a student is found anywhere beside their line at
dismissal they will receive demerits for being out of bounds; unless they have been given
permission by their homeroom teacher.
