Noon Hour ~ Seniors and juniors have an open lunch. With that privilege comes responsibility. Students are to

stay off the streets surrounding the school property for obvious safety reasons. No student is permitted to ride

in a vehicle between 8:15 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. without permission from the office. Parents with students in the

ninth and tenth grades who wish their student to have an open lunch hour should contact the school. The school

administration reserves the right to withdraw the open noon hour privilege if necessitated by lack of student

cooperation. Grades 7-10 do not have an open lunch. All students who have an open lunch are governed by

the following stipulations:

1. First lunch violation – lose 2 weeks open lunch

2. Second lunch violation – lose 2 months open lunch

3. Third lunch violation – lose open lunch options

VIOLATIONS: tardy after lunch, disruption of classes or roaming of halls during lunch, leaving garbage in

halls or on school grounds, progress report states you are failing classes, detentions are owed or you have inschool

suspension. Any legal violation outside the school or use of vehicle without permission during lunch

will result in an automatic loss of open lunch.
