The student, not the school, is responsible for damaged, lost, or stolen personal property. All personal property should be marked, especially items of clothing, such as jackets, coats, and other items of apparel that could be misplaced. All valuables, including, but not limited to purses, money, jewelry, and electronic equipment should be kept in a safe place when not in the student’s possession. Students should bring only small amounts of money for items needed that school day and should keep this in their possession at all times. It would be in the student’s best interest to leave all valuables at home as much as possible.

Students should not bring personal items to school that are not part of the academic learning for the day. Any personal item that becomes a distraction in the classroom can be confiscated by the teacher and only returned to the parents or guardian. No toys (this includes balls, trading cards, makeup, and stuffed animals) should be brought to school. Any items remaining at the conclusion of the school year will be donated and/or disposed of.

A student caught stealing or attempting to steal private or school property will be subject to disciplinary measures as well as making restitution for the stolen property. In addition, the school reserves the right to press criminal charges against the violator.
