Handbook & Resource Guide

---

All policies are in place to create a safe and enriching environment for all members of our learning community.  Policies are subject to change and exceptions may occur based on student needs and staff discretion.  The intent of each policy is to set high, yet, fair expectations that assist in teaching learners how to engage in academia and society productively.  We believe that families are our most important partner in helping to ensure that all learners access the richest learning environments. We ask that families check in with their children each morning to ensure that they are prepared with their binder and book. All items that may be stored in their lockers and on their person are safe and appropriate. Additional teacher, team, and department-based policies may be found in the syllabus of each teacher that your learner has.
