ACCESS TO STUDENT SOCIAL NETWORKING PASSWORDS & WEBSITES School officials may conduct an investigation or require a student to cooperate in an investigation if there is specific information about activity on the student’s account on a social networking website that violates a school disciplinary rule or policy. In the course of an investigation, the student may be required to share the content that is reported in order to allow school officials to make a factual determination. CAFETERIA RULES 1. ​ All students are required to remain at school during their lunch period. 2. ​ All eating shall be confined to the cafeteria area. Students may select hot lunch or a la carte. Sack lunches are permissible, but must be eaten in the cafeteria area. 3. ​ All funds must be deposited prior to the start of the first period. The only exception will be co-op students who arrive after their morning work schedule. 4. ​ No charging of meals. 5. ​ Since classes are in session, students are required to pass to the cafeteria in an orderly fashion. Students are not allowed to leave the Commons area during their lunch period, unless given permission by a supervisor. 6. ​ Various class groups will be assigned places in the lunch line. They will keep their respective places during the week and work their way to the front of the line. 7. ​ Students shall return trays, dirty dishes, etc. to the window opening into the kitchen. 8. ​ Any accident or dish breakage should be reported to the cafeteria workers. Students are expected to assist in helping to clean up and keep the cafeteria presentable. 9. ​ No student or group of students are permitted to order or have food delivered to the school.

Any student caught off of the plaza area without permission may be assigned disciplinary consequences. 11. ​ Throwing food or tableware will not be tolerated. Students who violate any of the rules listed above will be handled on an individual basis by the administration. Consequences may range from verbal reprimand to expulsion.

BREAKFAST In addition to lunch, the Cafeteria offers a breakfast which is served daily from 7:30AM – 7:45AM.

ACADEMIC LEARNING CENTERS Students who participate in school activities, who work in the afternoon or evenings, and many others have little time to study outside of school. Academic Learning Centers are provided, therefore, so that all students may make the most of their days at PTHS. In fairness to all, students will observe the following regulations: 1. ​ Come to the Academic Learning Center prepared. Come ready to study the entire period. 2. ​ Remain in the same assigned seat each day. 3. ​ Work during the entire period. Visiting, sleeping, or otherwise non-productive use of time will not be permitted.

4. ​ Be seated and ready to work when the final bell rings. 5. ​ Students should not leave their seat without permission.
