Parking Permit

Student Parking is available at the High School by permit only.  Permits are a Senior privilege. A copy of driver’s license and parent permission is necessary.

Please review all the Student Parking information in the HS Handbook.

Locker Information

Students are assigned lockers on the first day of school. It is required that students have a school-approved lock on their hallway lockers. A school-approved lock is one that has been purchased from the Middle School store or the High School store/ main office. These locks are currently sold for $6 (at cost).
The reason for this is safety; these locks are specifically ordered from Master Lock and have a keyhole in the back so that in an emergency the special key can be used by Administration or emergency personnel to access the locker. The keys are not included with the locks as they are given to us through the company based upon the lock code.
Students are continuously informed of this procedure throughout the first weeks of school. The information is also contained in the Student Handbook.
If students fail to place the approved school lock on the locker, locks will be removed and contents of the locker safeguarded for the student.
Students are not allowed to share lockers or place their belongings in any locker other than their own. If students disregard this procedure, those lockers will be opened with a master key or with a bolt cutter with or without notice. Items will be bagged, labeled and placed in the main office for retrieval.

Parent Portal Procedures

After logging into your parent portal account, click on the purple button next to your child’s name. Click on the grades tab. This tab gives the parent a viewing of a student’s unweighted grades. If you move over to the left of the screen and click on the printer icon, this will pull up the report card – the report card includes the weighted grades if your child participates in any advanced, college or AP courses. You can print the report card from here. 

Balancing school and work can be difficult. The NYS Department of Labor provides information on working papers, safety and health on the job, and filling out job applications and resumes while giving you the time to focus on your studies
