Highs school students are expected to eat lunch and remain on the school campus during the lunch periods unless they have been granted permission to do otherwise. Permission to leave school grounds during lunch periods will be granted by the Principal or designee only upon written request of the parent/guardian*.

If a student leaves the school campus during a lunch period with appropriate permission (parent and Principal/designee), the parent(s) and student become responsible for the student’s behavior and safety. Any student who leaves the school campus (approved or unapproved) during the lunch period is subject to all provisions of the Students’ Rights and Responsibilities Handbook.

If a student leaves the school campus during a lunch period without appropriate permission, the parent(s) and student become responsible for the student’s behavior and safety, and the student has violated this regulation and is subject to disciplinary action as found in the Students’ Rights and Responsibilities Handbook, Rules and Regulations for Major Infractions.

Parents wishing to request permission for their student(s) to leave the school campus during lunch periods throughout the school year must complete Form 5140.02 F1 and return it to the Principal or designee.

Parents wishing to request permission for their student(s) to leave the school campus during the lunch periods on a given day must submit a written note to that effect no later than the morning of that day.

*Hereinafter parent/guardian will be referred to as parent.
