School Policy Reminders for Parents & Students
Cell Phones: Personal electronic devices are a disruption to the learning process and ARE NOT ALLOWED at school. They may be taken away form you and returned to parents only. Cell phones should not be visible or audible at any time during the school day, including study club and/or in school buildings at any school sponsored activities. This includes sending and receiving text messages. Those that are visible or audible will be confiscated and retained at the discretion of school administrators. In case of emergencies, parents are requested to contact the main office 425.431.7834 rather than the student or a classroom teacher.
Buses: Transportation is provided for students living more than 1 mile from school. Buses are available in the morning and after school. Riders are issued bus passes that they will be asked to show the driver. Drivers will inform students of bus rules which they must follow in order to ride the bus. Students wanting to ride a friend's bus home after school must bring a parent note to the office in the morning giving permission. Questions regarding buses can be directed to the Transportation Department at 425.431.7230
Clothing Policy: Students at Brier Terrace are expected to wear clothing that does not present a disruption to the educational process and/or interfere with the rights of those around them. Clothing or articles of clothing that advertise or advocate drugs, alcohol, tobacco, weapons, or explicit sexual messages will not be tolerated and will require a change in clothing.
In addition, if clothing presents an issue of modesty, e.g., pants sagging to reveal undergarments, half-shirts, tank tops, bare midriffs, etc., students will be required to change before returning to class. As a guideline, students should be able to raise their arm without revealing midriff, and shoulder straps should cover the area from the base of the neck to the edge of the shoulder. Shorts/skirts must be of a length to cover past a student's fingers when the arm is held at the side of the body. Pajama bottoms and/or slippers are not appropriate school attire.
Hats, visors, hoods, scarves, bandanas, other head-wear, and sunglasses can be worn to/from school - but not at school or at school activities (keep them in your locker). Head coverings for religious purposes are acceptable through advance contact with administration. Long, heavy chains are not allowed. Please leave chains at home. |
