PTHS Student Handbook 2017-2018

THEFT REPORTS/STOLEN ITEMS Unfortunately, thefts do occur; therefore, students are encouraged not to bring valuable items or large sums of money to school. At any time an item is stolen, a student is to report the incident to their teacher. The teacher will then send the student to the office to fill out a theft form and have a conference with the principal. A report of the incident will be filed with the principal, and students are encouraged to report the incident to the local law enforcement agency. The student is responsible for properly locking hall and P.E. lockers, as well as keeping the combination to the locks of those lockers confidential. WORK PERMITS Work permits will be issued in accordance with the Illinois Child Labor Law in the high school office. The following steps apply to minor children in each of the following age categories: Students Age 15 And Under 1. A statement from the employer on official stationary stating the intent to employ, the type of work, and the hours of employment. 2. A physician’s statement stating the student is in good health. 3.
