School Operations & Resources
Student Lockers
- Lockers are provided for the storage of student’s books and other equipment needed in school. Lockers are a privilege, and their use can be revoked. In such an event, a student will be given a container to use, and may place the container in a teacher’s classroom at the end of the day.
- To ensure protection of your property it is necessary that the student keep his/her locker combination private. Each student is responsible for the care of the locker assigned to him or her, and the combination to the lock will only be given to the assigned student’s locker.
- Students may not move into any other locker without permission from the main office.
- Valuables should not be left in lockers! The school is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
- Lockers are leased by the student and are the property of the school. Lockers may be subject to examination by school personnel at any time.
Student ID
All students are expected to have their student ID for library book check out and daily lunch. Failure to have their student ID will result in not being allowed to check out books at that time, or go to the end of the lunch line.

Teams
Students are grouped by grade levels into teams. Once students are placed on a team, they will remain with that team throughout the school year. There are two teams at each grade level. Teams allow students to be in smaller class groupings fostering an environment that is student centered. There are approximately 125 students per team. Core subjects taught include math, science, language arts, literacy, and social studies.
| Sixth Grade Teams | Seventh Grade Teams | Eighth Grade Teams |

Telephone
Students are encouraged not to use the office counter phone except in case of emergency or to call parents only and/or with office approval to notify about serving a detention or school related issues. Cell phones may be utilized during appropriate hours.
Testing Information
Tests are a necessary component of any schooling. Students are expected to be knowledgeable and be able to provide evidence of mastery of the content for which they will be tested. In most cases this may entail necessary study outside of school hours.
Textbooks/Chromebooks
When cases of misuse or mistreatment of books or Chromebooks occur, students will be assessed a fine. Students are to pay replacement costs for lost books and Chromebook. We urge students to exercise care in handling their books and Chromebook.
