5.0) USE OF SCHOOL EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES
Since textbooks are the property of the school and represent a considerable expenditure to the school, students are expected to take care of their books. Damage to books that is in excess of what is considered normal wear will incur a fine in the amount of repair or replacement. Should you lose or damage a book the following will apply:
1. Destroyed or Lost Book or Workbook - Replacement Cost
2. Torn page - $.25 per page
3. Ink marks (pages and covers) - $.25 per page
4. Page missing - $1.00 per page
5. Broken binding - $12.00
As in the case of textbooks you will be responsible to replace lost or destroyed books and magazines at replacement cost. Overdue books will result in fines of 10 cents per day. Anyone with books overdue past 7 days will not be allowed library privileges until the fine is paid and the book is renewed or returned.
Damage to school property for any reason other than normal use by the student will require reimbursement to the school by the student, an amount equivalent to the cost of replacement or repair. Lost equipment will be treated in a similar manner. In lieu of this, materials belonging to the school should be either in the student's possession or locked at all times.
In order to effectively discourage a lack of respect and improper care of school property, a record is made at the beginning of the year of all property assigned to each student.
In the event a student is caught tampering with or in possession of another student's possessions (lockers, athletic equipment, personal belonging, etc.), that student will be subject to strict disciplinary action.
When entering the Elementary building for any other reason than lunch secondary students will use the west locker room entrance of the elementary building.
Some lab related classes might require fees. Examples would be Art, Industrial Arts, etc.

Lockers will be assigned to each student at the beginning of the school year. These lockers are the property of the school and each student is responsible for keeping it clean, in order and the door shut. If a problem arises concerning your locker, report the problem to the principal's office. Content of the locker is reserved for educational materials and necessary personal items. The outside of the locker is limited to motivational material provided by school organizations. The school reserves the right to run locker checks on a periodical basis. Object ional material will be removed. Anyone wishing to put a lock on his or her locker may do so by checking one out from the principal’s office. You MAY NOT use one of your own . In the 7 th and 8 th grade lockers pictures and personal items not used in the regular educational process will not be allowed.
