Fighting:  All participants in a fight will be suspended from school and restrained if necessary. Parents, students, and administrators will meet to discuss the problem.  If a student is involved in more than one fight and there is indication of threat to the safety of others at school or if the student poses a threat to the proper and orderly conduct of the school, the administration will recommend an alternative education plan.

 

Hall Passes: Students are not permitted in the halls during class periods unless a teacher accompanies them or they have a hall pass from an authorized staff member.  Students in the hall during class time without a hall pass are truant.

 

Illnesses: (See Attendance Policy Summary and Checking Out of School During the School Day.)

 

Lockers: Lockers are school property and are issued to students for storage of school books and school equipment.  Students are responsible for keeping their lockers neat and clean both inside and out.  Lockers will be assessed damage fees at the end of the school year.  Students are not required to check out a locker.  Illegal items found in lockers may be confiscated, and students whom the locker are assigned may be prosecuted.  The school is not responsible for stolen items.  Students should not leave money or valuable items in their lockers.

 

PE Lockers:  All students who participate in PE classes will be issued a lock to use on a PE locker.  It is strongly encouraged to lock all valuables in this locker because of the high risk of theft in the PE locker room.

 

I-pods: Students are strongly encouraged NOT to bring I-pods on school grounds.  I-pods are a high theft item and also disturb the learning environment. Students who bring music devices to school do so at their own risk.

 

Cell phones: Phones may not be used in the classrooms, and will be taken if seen and/or used. 

First Offense -      teacher will take the phone and students will need to pick up the phone from the teacher at the end of class.

Second Offense - teacher will take the phone to the office and the parent may pick up the phone from an administrator.

          Third Offense -    teacher will take the phone to the office and the parent and student must meet with an administrator to discuss the return of the phone.

 

Nuisance items:  The following items should not be used on campus: skateboards, roller blades, cell phones, I-pods, headphones or other items that may disrupt class or the school environment.  These items may be collected by school employees and may be returned when appropriate after a meeting with the administration or staff.

 

Lunch: Dixie High students have a full service lunch program.  We strongly encourage our students to take advantage of this opportunity to have hot lunch at the a-la-carte menu on campus.  Lunch prices are $2.25 for students.
