S.O.A.R.

BUS RIDER ARRIVAL Students will go directly to their 1st period class. Students getting breakfast should get it and go directly to class. BUS RIDER DISMISSAL At the end of each day, students will pause and listen to afternoon announcements. Announcements will have a focus on bus dismissal. Students should know their run number (not the actual number on the side of the bus). CAR RIDER ARRIVAL Students may enter the building starting at 7:55 am. Vehicles must not block the main entrance from the road in to the schools. Once in the building, students are to move directly to their class or get breakfast. Breakfast will be eaten in 1st period. CAR RIDER DISMISSAL: Students, even permanent car riders, will not be dismissed until the intercom announcement at the end of the day. If a student is not a permanent car rider, parents need to notify the front office for their student to be dismissed to the front of the building, the car rider location.

Students will be provided with an agenda.

Students must remain seated at all times, and no food may be eaten on the bus.

LEAVING CLASS AND RETURNING DURING CLASS Restroom E-hallpass, an online tracking tool, will be used to sign out of class. The student will use his/her computer to make the request, and the student must wait to receive approval by the teacher. Only four females and four males at a time across the whole floor can be sent out to use the restroom at one time. All Other Locations Students will use e-hallpass to request a pass for any other location. Students should take all their materials with them if the pass is issued near the end of a period.

BREAKFAST Breakfast will be available in the cafeteria. Students will eat their breakfast by 8:10 AM or the end of announcements in their 1st period class. They should sanitize their hands prior to and after eating. LUNCH School lunch will be available each full school day.
