|  | | Students' Responsibilities | | RESPONSIBILITIES:
All students are responsible for knowing and obeying all school policies, rules and regulations. Students are responsible for the consequences of their behavior.
Students are responsible for following all procedures, rules, and regulations necessary to make effective the Board of Education policies relating to the student standards of conduct.
Principals shall be responsible for informing the parent/guardian of any student whose behavior is in serious conflict with established policies, rules, and procedures.
RESPONSIBILITY FOR ACADEMIC WORK
Students are responsible for completing class assignments on time and according to the instructions given by the teachers.
Instructional materials are furnished by the Saint Paul Public Schools for student use. Students are responsible for bringing to class all materials required for daily classroom use.
RESPONSIBILITY REGARDING ATTENDANCE AND TARDINESS
Students are responsible for being in attendance at the beginning of the school day. Students arriving late are to report to the proper school authorities, as designated by their local school rules.
If absence from school is necessary because of illness or other legitimate reasons, students are responsible for bringing a written excuse signed by a parent or guardian upon return to school. Absence or tardiness of students because of religious holidays and observances shall be recorded as excused absences or tardiness at the written request of the parent.
If students are to be excused before the end of the day, they should bring a written request signed by a parent or guardian to the school office, preferably upon arrival at school.
Sufficient time is allowed between classes for students to arrive at the next class on time. If a student is detained after class by a teacher, a pass should be obtained from that teacher so that tardiness will be excused in the next class.
During a class hour, students shall not leave a classroom without a pass from the teacher.
Under no conditions shall a student leave school during the day without permission of the school administration. A student leaving the building may be requested by proper school authorities to show his/her “excuse to leave the building” form.
RESPONSIBILITY FOR DISCIPLINE
Students have the right to a free public education, but they are responsible for complying with the rules and regulations of the school district and the instructions of all school district personnel, and for accepting the authority of the faculty and school district officials on school property and at school-sponsored, off-campus activities. Failure to meet these responsibilities will be cause for disciplinary action.
