ASSEMBLIES

Assemblies such as SCA elections, awards assemblies and public awareness assemblies are yearly school events.  The administration and staff have put a great deal of time and effort in providing events that are educational, interesting and important to each students’ education.  These assemblies are instructional opportunities.  Students are expected to participate in the activities and remain in school on these days.  At all times, student behavior should be refined and courteous.  An indication of the cultural level of the school is the conduct of its student body at an assembly.  Whether guests are present or not, each student is personally responsible for the impression made by the school as a whole.  Unacceptable conduct would include whistling, inappropriate clapping, boisterousness, and talking during a program.  Students should not prop their feet on seats.

Students will be allowed to check-out during an assembly if a parent comes to school and signs them out, or if a parent sends a note stating that the student has a doctor or dentist appointment.  The parent would then either sign the student back in upon their return to school, or the student would present a note from the doctor/dentist stating that the student was in their care during the released time.

Seating Arrangements for Assemblies
Seating arrangements for assemblies will be based on first period classes.  All first period classes, except for seniors, will have assigned seating.  Regardless of which period the assembly is held, all 9^th –11^th grade students are required to sit with their first period class.  First period teachers will check attendance and supervise their classes during assemblies.  Seniors will be allowed to sit anywhere within rows A-T in the middle section.   Any 9th-11^th grade student not sitting with their class will be considered skipping.
