1. Cellular phones can be brought to school but are to be turned off and kept in the student's backpack and may not be used on campus.  The office phone is to be used if students need to contact parents or vice versa. Violation of this rule will result in the phone being confiscated and parents will have to come to school and pick it up.  Parents, please don't text or call your student on their cell home unless you are sure their device is turned off.
2. The school phones are only to be used in an emergency.  Students calling for forgotten homework assignments or after school social arrangements can only be made with the teacher's permission.  These types of phone calls do not constitute an emergency.  The natural consequences of the above are a part of the students' learning process.
3. iPods, games, toys or “fad" items (including but not limited to cell phones, laser pointers, hand-held computers), are not to be brought to school or they will be confiscated and retained until parent's pickup said items.
4. Chewing gum and sunflower seeds in the pod are not allowed on the school premises at any time.
5. Food and drinks are to be consumed only in designated areas. 
6. Eating, loitering or playing in the restrooms is never permitted.
7. Lost or damaged books must be paid for by the student.
8. Classes should not be interrupted for personal deliveries of such things as lunches, books, glasses, etc.  Parents should bring such items to the school office where they will be delivered to the student as soon as possible with minimal class disturbance.
9. Proper behavior is expected in Church.  Talking and disturbances in church will not be tolerated.  Participation in our religion classes, school liturgies and services by non-Catholic students, as well as by Catholic students is expected.
10. For safety's sake, students may not enter a classroom, Parish hall, or Community Center without adult supervision.
11. Since the school owns the desks and lockers, we reserve the right to check the contents and cleanliness of the school property.
12. Under reasonable cause and with consultation of the administration, locker, desks, backpacks, gym bags, purses and pockets may be searched and emptied.  Teachers and parents are asked to check all students' notebooks to ensure they are being used for schoolwork and to help students organize their work.
13. Party invitations may not be handed out in the classroom or on school grounds unless:
• they are given to all students in a class.
• they are given to all girls in a class.
• they are given to all boys in a class.
• Parents have a right to invite whomever they want to a party but use the postal system since hurt feelings could result.

Disciplinary Reporting to Parents

The basic rules for discipline are: (1) The Ten Commandments, (2) The Two Great Commandments, and (3) The Beatitudes. All discipline procedures in the Archdiocesan Handbook are followed regarding suspension and expulsion. Parents will be called at home or at work whenever the Principal deems this appropriate or necessary. Among the offenses which warrant an immediate phone call are the following:

• Serious disruption of order in class or on the playground.
• Continued use of improper language.
• Repeated failure to return progress notes, report slips, notices from the office, etc.
• Continued violation of the uniform code.
