Some Reminders:- Parents are not allowed to drive on campus to drop off or pick up students.
- Parents should remember to drop off and pick up in "Safe Areas". Avoid dropping and picking up students at the cross walk, stop signs, red zones, and in the middle of the street. Not only is it illegal, but it is extremely unsafe for everyone.
- Parents should avoid making U-Turns and Y-Turns for the safety of students and pedestrians. These are illegal at stop signs.
- Parents are discouraged from dropping off students on Roscoe Boulevard in the morning because no stopping is allowed between 7:00 and 9:00 AM on Roscoe. It is dangerous and a traffic violation!
- Please be respectful of our neighbors and do not honk, block driveways or move their trash cans.
- Please be courteous to teachers, administrators, our security guard and adults helping to control and monitor the traffic at both schools. Remember to slow down and be careful for the safety of everyone!
- Students are responsible for informing their driver, if other than their parent/guardian of our school rules and policies when being dropped off or picked up.
- To avoid traffic issues in the afternoon, parents are urged to avoid Community Street and pick up their students on the side streets like Colbath or Costello or further down Ranchito towards Woodman.
- For safety & insurance reasons, we ask that students do not arrive at school before 7:30 a.m., since it is impossible for the school to provide adequate supervision before that time. This same policy holds true after school for students who are waiting for rides or who have not departed campus and do not have an after-school activity. Students should be picked up within 20 minutes of the daily dismissal time.
- Any student who is not involved in an approved and supervised after-school activity may not remain on campus after 20 minutes of dismissal. It is the parent's responsibility to know the whereabouts of their student once school has dismissed.
- Students should not loiter outside nor around the school campus or in front of neighbor's homes.
PICKING UP STUDENTS
Students should be picked up promptly after their activities. Students and parents are expected to abide by the "20 Minute Rule" when a student's extra-curricular activity has concluded. In regards to Night School events or upon returning to school from an event supervision is provided for one half hour. Parents who are late in picking up their children will assume the cost of the personnel supervising. The cost may be $10.00 for every fifteen minutes.
EARLY DISMISSAL
No student may leave campus without the expressed permission of his/her parents, leaving campus for any reason without following procedures will be considered truancy. Students can only be checked out of school by a parent, guardian or an adult who is on the Emergency Card. Students will not be alowed to leave special events, like MASS or night schools once the event begins. Requests for early dismissal, other than for illness, must be made by telephone and in writing to the Main Office. Medical and dental appointments should be scheduled outside school hours. After a student checks out of school, they must leave campus.
NEIGHBORHOOD RELATIONS
Saint Genevieve High School wishes to maintain good relations with our neighbors. Local residents have a right to privacy, private property, and freedom from profane and/or abusive language. Students/Parents must not loiter, litter, trespass or create problems for residents of the community. While Saint Genevieve High School cannot be held responsible for the acts of students off campus, the administration may take disciplinary action. Students should always behave in a Valiant manner, on or off campus.
