School Rules

We don't constantly stay on you guys about keeping your shirts tucked in, or your hats off, or your pants pulled up for our own health. We want you to look presentable and proffessional to make this a safe school environment for everyone. As such, I am going to post 2 very important rules that are stated in your school handbook.

1. Dress Code
     "All students are required to wear the official school uniform every school day. The uniform consists of Khaki (tan) colored bottoms such as shorts, pants, skirts and a 3-button/collar/solid (navy, black or white) polo shirt (long or short). Sweatshirts, hoodies & jackets are permitted as long as the logo is embroidered on the shirt/jacket.

Items deemed inappropriate for school and should not be worn are hats, toboggans, kerchiefs, headbands, bandanas, hoods on coats/jackets, and pants sagging below the waist. Sunglasses are not to be worn in the building. Chains and other sharp objects are not allowed. This includes sharp facial piercings. Shirt should be tucked in and belts should be worn."

2. Electronic Devices
      "Walmans, Radios, Ipods, MP3players, PSP's, cell phones, headsets, earphones, laser pointers, pagers, beepers, computer CD's and any other electronic device items that fit this category are not allowed in the building. If they are seen or heard, they will be confiscated for the remainder of the day.

Thank you for adhering to these rules. Please call the school if you have any questions regarding these rules.

Weekly Planners

This is an important announcement for ALL students at Cape Lookout.

You are required to do homework. It's just a part of the high school experience. I've already told my kids they will get homework. At first it may seem like a lot, but it will not be all the time. Homework is a way to help them keep their grades up.

I also do NOT assign unnecessary homework. Every piece of homework I assign is for a reason. I don't believe in busy work. Homework is a tool that teachers (especially myself) use to reinforce an idea we discussed in class. I will never give homework on material you've NEVER seen. It's always something the child know and should have taken notes on in class.

With that said, students should invest in a planner. Many of my students forgot last weeks homework assignments because they didn't write them down. I encourage you to get a planner. Not only does this help with organization for school, but also for activities outside of school.

Thanks and have an awesome Labor Day weekend!!!
