Dress Code
Cell Phone/Device Policy
VUSD and GLC cell phone policy requires that ALL student cell phones are turned off and placed into backpacks when they enter campus.
If a student has a cell phone in their pockets or on them, staff will confiscate the phone and place it in the office. Please read the consequences below.
1st violation: Phone taken to the office and student may pick up at the end of the day.
2nd violation: Phone taken to the office and PARENT ONLY may pick up at the end of the day. Our office closes at 4:30pm daily.
3rd violation: Student must check their phone in the office at the beginning of the day and pick it up at the end of the day for 4 weeks.
4th violation: Student must check their phone in the office at the beginning of the day and pick it up at the end of the day for 8 weeks.
5th violation: Student may no longer bring their cell phone onto campus.
Cell phones interrupt the learning of all students. They are also typically used to record student activities without permission or distract learning from occurring. For this reason, it is recommended that students leave their cell phones at home. GLC is not responsible for personal items that have been lost or stolen.
Airpods and personal earbuds are not allowed on campus. These items are distracting and get stolen often.
If a student needs to contact their parent, they may use the phone in the office.
Nurse visits
Students who feel ill must visit the nurse. Using a cell phone to call home and ask to be picked up is not VUSD protocol. If your student calls you and asks to be picked up, please tell them to visit the nurse first. Our nurse will determine if the student needs to go home.
Athletics
Students in Grades 5th-8th have the opportunity to join flag football or volleyball in the near future. If your child is interested, they may pick up an application in the office. The season starts in about 2 weeks.
If you have questions, please call our office. 730-7768
