Attendance
Attendance Matters: Attendance is one of the first indicators of academic success. Research shows that class attendance is closely related to positive performance in coursework. Students are expected to be in class every hour, on time, every school day. Students must remain in the class for the entire hour or they will be marked absent unexcused. Arriving late by more than 10 minutes is considered a partial absence, and is counted as an unexcused absence.
Hall Passes
Students are expected to use the bathroom and go to their lockers between classes. Hall passes will not be issued the first and last 10 minutes of class and students are not permitted to leave class unless it is an emergency, with which the teacher may refuse to
give a pass or call for an ASC to walk students to the location. Classroom teachers will receive a permanent pass for the purpose of bathroom and/or locker access. One student will be permitted to go to the bathroom or locker at any given time. Any student in the hall without a hallway pass may lose pass privileges. Certain conditions may warrant a medical waiver to this policy. Students must have their ID readily available when using a pass. Students that are in the hallway with a pass should expect to show their pass to any staff person as requested (this includes students with a permanent pass). When a student arrives at their assigned space, the staff person will collect the hallway pass. Students must have their ID readily available when using a pass.
Permanent Passes
Students with extenuating circumstances will receive a permanent pass from the main office (i.e. PSEO, nurse for medication, social work services, etc.). The staff assigning the permanent pass must complete the form to request a permanent pass from the main office.
Closed Campus Grades 9-11 & Open Lunch (Seniors Only)
The safety and security of our school community is of utmost importance. To ensure increased safety and security measures, St. Louis Park High School will remain a closed campus for ALL students grades 9-11.
New for the 2022-23 school year:
Seniors will be required to have a lunch release form signed by a parent/guardian on file, if they wish to leave campus during their assigned lunch period. Students will be issued a pass from the main office upon receipt of the lunch release form and will be expected to show this pass upon exiting and
entering the building using DOOR 1 only.
Food
No food or beverage in the hallways, classrooms or common areas.
Food and/or beverages are not to be taken out of the cafeteria during any lunch period. Students will only eat in the cafeteria, auditorium foyer, or outside when weather permits. Once you enter the lunch space, food is not permitted to leave the mentioned areas. Students are also expected to maintain all lunch spaces by cleaning after themselves in an effort to keep our grounds and cafeteria clean.
