Respect for Learning
Where am I?
Students are expected to:
A. Comply with all school and classroom rules and conduct themselves in an orderly manner. These rules apply in school buildings, on school grounds, and at recognized functions. Disciplinary guidelines may be applied to difficulties off school grounds which are prejudicial to the good order and discipline of the school or tend to impair the morale or good conduct of the students.
B. Be punctual and attend class every day.
C. Complete class work and homework assignments. Kirkwood High School's major purpose is to offer a sound and exciting academic experience for students to become involved learners. Class work and homework are a vital part of this learning process.
D. Turn off all electronic devices (cell phones, ipods, MP3 players, headsets, pagers, etc.) when you enter an academic setting such as; a classroom, library, lab setting, ISS, locker room, gym, etc. (See guidelines for social media/cell phones.)
E. Bring items that are appropriate for educational purpose. Radios, headsets, video cameras, CD players, pagers, dice, cards, water pistols, or any other item which may interfere with the educational process or may endanger the safety of another person are not to be used during the school day. However, students are permitted to use headphones, ipods, and MP3 players between classes, during lunch, IP or in class with teacher approval provided they do not cause a disruption. Inappropriate items may be confiscated and held in the grade level office for the remainder of the school day. NOTE: Kirkwood High School is not liable for any lost or stolen items.
F. Give all authorized medications to the school nurse with instructions for use.
G. Refrain from leaving campus at any time during the school day unless authorized. You may not leave campus during the day without prior parental and administrative permission. After appropriate permission is obtained, you must sign out at your grade level office. Students are not permitted to be on the parking lot during school hours without administrative approval. Seniors at KHS are the only students who have the privilege of leaving campus during their lunch period. You are to present your ID to the walking counselor or administrator assigned to the lot before you may leave campus. (During inclement weather, the KHS administration may cancel that privilege without notice).
H. Be honest. Honesty and integrity are of the utmost importance in our school community. You are expected to deal honestly with all staff in your relationships and in your work. (See Academic Honesty Policy)
