IT’S TIME! 2013-14 Policy & Guidelines--Schedule adjustments Scheduling can be adjusted using Skyward during the “open registration” period. Once closed, students must schedule to see their counselor. Schedules must be complete prior to the start of school on designated “schedule change days.” Step 1: changing the schedule Step 2: Book Depository and Finance Office $ 5.00 class change fee is required for all changes during the school year. The finance office will send a bill or refund in the mail approximately 4 weeks after class changes. Students are responsible to return books to the book depository. Term changes (end of first or third term) at ‘mid-semester’ will be allowed only for extreme circumstances. Parents must speak with their student’s counselor. All changes must be done by the end of the first week of any term making changes after that date disrupts teaching and puts students behind in curriculum. If special circumstances arise, a parent must make an appointment with the counselor to discuss the change after the first week of a new semester. Final deadline- according to alpine school district policy, class changes should not be made after three weeks into the nine-week grading term. After the third week, if a class is dropped, the student will receive an “f” grade for the term in the withdrawn class and will be released to the parents for that period. The student will not be allowed to add another class until the next term.
Policies and Guidelines- School Phones The telephones are limited for school related business and emergency use. Students should ask permission prior to using telephones in classrooms and offices.
Policies and Guidelines- Trespassing is to enter or remain upon school property without authorization. This includes individuals who are on campus during release periods, after school, and evening hours that cause annoyance or injury to a person, damage property on school grounds, are reckless, cause fear for the safety of others.
Policies and Guidelines- Vending The vending machines are here for your use, and we are happy to allow them here. However, you use them at your own risk. Money will not be refunded if lost in the vending machines. Private companies take care of the machines for the school; therefore, the school is not responsible for the operation and upkeep of the machines. Abuse of the machines will force us to shut them down.
Policies and Guidelines- Visitors Parents are always welcome at Lone Peak High School. All visitors must check in with the main office upon arrival. We ask that an appointment be made to see a teacher or to visit a classroom. There will be no visitors who are of school age at Lone Peak High School. Often we are asked if visiting relatives or friends can attend with one of our students. In order to be fair to our teachers and students and to limit our liability, we respectfully request that our patrons make other arrangements for these individuals. Small children should not be brought to school. Any person found on the school grounds without permission is trespassing and is subject to arrest by police authorities.
