A. ANIMALS ON SCHOOL PROPERTY
In order to assure student health and safety, animals are not allowed on school property, except in the case of a service animal accompanying a student or other individual with a documented disability. This rule may be temporarily waived by the building principals in the case of an educational opportunity for students, provided that (a) the animal is appropriately housed, humanely cared for, and properly handled, and (b) students will not be exposed to a dangerous animal or an unhealthy environment (see Board Policy 6:100—Using Animals in the Educational Program).
B. BOOKSTORE

Lost articles should be turned into the main office or Assistant Principals' office. Owners claim articles with ID and proof of ownership. Any property missing or stolen, should be reported by the student to the Security Department. Go to the Assistant Principals' office and ask for a Student Assistant to make a theft report.

- YEAR END BALANCES – At year end, funds remaining in a student’s account will roll-over to the following school year.

Parents requesting a refund for a student leaving the district must send a written request, letter or email, to Kathy Moran in the Business Office. No cash refunds will be issued to students through the cafeteria and checks will be mailed to parents in June. Seniors should spend balances of less than $10 since no refund will be issued for this amount or less.
