Book It!•20 Reading Counts points = 1 Book It! ticket•1 Book It! ticket = 3 points extra credit added to the final grade in any class a student chooses.–Example: Student earns a 77% C in English 1 and chooses to use their Book It! ticket… New grade is an 80% B.–Tickets can only be used if all assignments and make up work are turned in by Friday of the week prior to the end of the quarter.–Students can earn multiple tickets (60 points = 3 tickets) but can use only 1 ticket per class per quarter.

Dress Code 2018 – 2019

Why have a dress code?

We, at Seminole Ridge Community High School, believe that students have a right to a positive educational

environment. Our attention is devoted to learning, school safety, encouraging good behavior, and minimizing

disruptions and distractions. As a result, student attire or grooming that substantially or potentially disrupts the educational environment, creates a distraction which interferes with the educational process, or presents a

health or safety hazard to the students or school community, is not permitted. Clothing should be suitable,

comfortable, and appropriate for school and school activities.

Tops

• Must have sleeves, unless a top with sleeves is worn underneath

• Must have a full back

• Must overlap the waistline of shorts, pants, or skirts

• Must not be sheer or see-through

General Guidelines

• Every student must carry their student ID at all times and be prepared to show it to any staff member who requests it.

• No pajamas, sleepwear, or sleep attire

• No hats, hoodies, or headwear may be worn except during exceptionally cold weather (administrative decision)

• No sunglasses worn inside without written doctor’s note

• No portable speakers

• No large headphone devices of any kind. Students may wear ear buds but only in one ear and remove it when entering a classroom. Students must be able to hear requests and instructions at all times on campus. Failure to comply with requests and instructions due to “not hearing” the request is not acceptable.
