ENTERING THE BUILDING All students must enter through the Commons doors. Doors will be opened at 7:30 am every morning. Students who arrive after 7:55am must enter through the Main Office doors. LEAVING THE BUILDING All students must exit the building when the dismissal bell sounds. Students will not be allowed to loiter inside the building or out in front of the Commons. Students who violate this policy will be asked to leave. Students who continue to violate this policy may be provided disciplinary consequences. FINES, FEES, and CHARGES; WAIVER OF STUDENT FEES The school establishes fees and charges to fund certain school activities. Some students may be unable to pay these fees. Students will not be denied educational services or academic credit due to the inability of their parent or guardian to pay fees or certain charges. Students whose parent or guardian is unable to afford student fees may receive a fee waiver. A fee waiver applies to all fees related to school, instruction, and extracurricular activities. Applications for fee waivers may be obtained online through Skyward Family Access. The application is located under the “Food Service” tab. Click on “Applications” and then add the application. A student is eligible for a fee waiver if at least one of the following prerequisites is met: 1. ​ The student currently lives in a household that meets the free lunch or breakfast eligibility guidelines established by the federal government pursuant to the National School Lunch Act; or 2. ​ The student or the student’s family is currently receiving aid under Article IV of the Illinois Public Aid Code (Aid to Families of Dependent Children); or 3. ​ The student’s parent is a veteran or active-duty military personnel with income at or below 200% of the federal poverty line.
