All tardies and absences are recorded and documented on student report cards and official records. END OF THE DAY DISMISSAL: Teachers escort and supervise children to car pool locations and supervise them until dismissals have been safely completed. Parent carpool drivers are expected to ADHERE TO THE CARPOOL TRAFFIC PLAN AND PROCEDURES as articulated in this handbook and stay in their cars in the designated carpool lines to meet their children at the respective grade-level exit or carpool stop when the students are dismissed. CLUBS/STUDENT ACTIVITIES Students are encouraged to participate in extracurricular activities as part of their total school program. Student organizations are under the supervision of a faculty sponsor. All social activities, including fund-raising, must be approved by the school director. Holding an office in any club requires that the student maintain a C average in each class. Any student who is on behavioral or academic probation may not hold office or be a student government representative. Clubs are organized throughout the school year in response to student interests. Students interested in helping organize a club should discuss the idea with the student council. All fund-raising and charitable activities must be sponsored by a school club. Students who wish to start a club should ensure that there are no clubs that exist currently that already work to or are designed to achieve the goal of the proposed club. Students must be able to show a need for the club in our school community, and a diverse range of students interested in a club existing. CONFERRING WITH STUDENT When persons outside of the school confer with a student: 1. School staff member must be present (exception: law enforcement and DCF). 2. Law enforcement must identify themselves first.
