ASB Cards

Students are encouraged to purchase an ASB (Associated Student Body) card to support school activities and receive special discounts when buying yearbooks, tickets to dances, athletic events and other school activities. 
 
We strongly recommend that students participating in extracurricular activities support the ASB by purchasing an ASB card, since ASB funds help support many of these activities. Keep our special programs afloat!
 
You can buy your ASB cards in the school Finance Office. (Please note: ASB cards may only be used by the owner; if someone else uses it, it may be taken away. Lost ASB cards are not replaced.)  


Bicycles/Skateboards/Scooters

Bike racks are located on the south side of the 500 building. Bicycles are to be parked in this area only. Bikes should be locked with a sturdy chain looped through the wheels and frame and fastened with a strong lock. Skateboards and scooters must be secured in the office or a classroom with the teacher’s permission. The school does not assume responsibility for these transportation devices if brought to school. Students may not ride bikes, skateboards or scooters on campus, and they may be confiscated if a student rides or attempts to ride them while on campus.  

Change of Address

Change of address must be reported immediately to the attendance office and requires verification (new proof of residency and registration card).  

Clearing of Debts

Financial indebtedness for library books, athletic uniforms/equipment, textbooks, or other school property is considered irresponsible citizenship.Students with indebtedness carried from one semester to another may lose textbook and library checkout privileges as well as activity and/or athletic participation privileges. Seniors will not be allowed to participate in the commencement ceremony until indebtedness is cleared.
