Lost and Found
Students are welcome to come to the Administrative Offices during regular business hours (M-Th: 7 AM-3:30 PM and Friday: 7 AM-3 PM) to look for lost items before/after school and/or during assigned lunch time. The procedure is for students to stop at the 2nd floor desk and ask an office staff member to accompany them who, at that time, will inquire as to what the student lost.

Pick-up and Drop Off Areas
We have recently noticed many parents dropping your car-riders off in restricted locations. This creates serious safety concerns for our student pedestrians, as well as our staff, when they are forced to walk against the flow of bus and/or car traffic.
Please be reminded that if you drive your student to school (morning and /or afternoon) you may drop your student off at at the MAIN entrance (south) or the northeast student paring lot, but not the ast side bus loop.
Students riding district-provided bus transportation are dropped off in the designated bus-loop on the east side (near the auditorium).
Students driving to school must park in the designated student lot on the east side or the west side of the building.
In addition to these serious safety concerns, we must remind parents and students to NOT park at the curb by the west entrance at any time. In fact, critical safety issues have arisen with parents, in particular, who are parking at curbs in both directions along the west entrance drive. This results in students and staff members exiting the west entrance between parked vehicles without having a visual of any entering and/or exiting vehicles. Additionally, drivers have little or no response time when pedestrians are trying to cross the drive to get to their vehicles. Further, curb-side parking, impedes traffic flow in both directions. Please be mindful of this announcement as safety is our first priority.
Parent/Student Messages
Also, as a reminder, parents should refrain from calling their students with personal messages during the school day. We continue to receive many phone calls regarding messages that should be addressed at home. Please understand that as parents, you must be respectful that the school day is just as important as your work day and it is unfair to the teacher and other classmates to interrupt a class for personal messages. Although electronic devices are not allowed during the school day and should be turned off, parents are encouraged to leave messages on the devices so students may access them at the end of the school day (2:35 PM).
Student Driving/Parking Rules and Regulations 2009 – 2010
Driving a vehicle to school is a privilege, not a right, and we trust that each student will be able to retain that privilege. Failure to follow any of the following rules and regulations will result in a suspension of driving privileges for a minimum of one (1) week and the student’s vehicle may be towed.
Any student driving to school must display a 2009-2010 parking sticker from the High School Office. This sticker can be secured for $50.00 and by completing the “Driving Information Section” on the Student Data Verification Card. Also, at the time of purchase, the student must present a valid driver's license and a copy of the vehicle registration of any vehicle(s) s/he may drive to school. Stickers may be transferred to other family vehicles. The sticker must be displayed in the bottom front windshield, driver’s side, of the vehicle. Replacement stickers are available for $50.00. The parking sticker is good for one (1) school year. Vehicles without stickers or vehicles parked in unauthorized areas (staff or visitor’s parking) may be towed away at the owner’s expense. The school maintains the right to revoke any driving privilege if a student’s action appears detrimental to academic progress or to the safety of others.
The cost for parking stickers will be $50.00 for the 2009-2010 school year. If a student purchases a parking sticker after January 28, 2010, the cost will be $25.00. Replacement costs for a parking sticker is $25.00 after January 28, 2010.
Parking in assigned areas must be in appropriate rows as designated by the flow of traffic.
Reckless or careless driving on school grounds is prohibited. In such cases the Pittsfield Township Police Department will be notified and driving privileges may be revoked.
The use of tobacco, alcohol, drugs, etc., in a vehicle will result in the same disciplinary action as pertains to such use in school. In addition, the loss of driving privileges could result from using the above substances.
All vehicles on school property are subject to searches, including canine searches.
Upon arrival at school, students should lock their vehicles and enter school immediately. Neither student drivers nor their friends should occupy a vehicle after is has been parked, i.e., no loitering in vehicles before, after, or during school hours. Student who walk to school or ride a bus to school are not permitted to be in the parking lot or in any vehicle before, after, or during school hours.
