Here are a few important guidelines we must follow to ensure student safety:

• Students are prohibited from wearing masks
• Make-up or face painting should be minimal. Staff needs to still be able to EASILY identify a student wearing makeup or face painting. If your face is fully painted, you will be required to wash your face before attending classes.
• Weapons, or replica weapons are not allowed
• Costumes need to adhere to the school dress code and should not disrupt the instructional program during school hours.

If you have ANY questions regarding your costume, please see your GLC before Halloween for guidance and approval. Thank you for your cooperation Mustangs. We look forward to seeing your creative costumes!

Due to numerous problems and safety concerns, we want to remind everyone that student lunches are not allowed to be delivered anywhere on campus. Food, drinks, or other items must not be passed to students through the fence. This is strictly prohibited.

Additionally, outside food delivery services such as Uber Eats and DoorDash are not permitted. Any food deliveries dropped off on campus will be confiscated.

We understand the importance of student nutrition and encourage students to either take advantage of the free lunch provided at school or bring their lunch from home.

Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring a safe and secure environment for all students.

As we continue to strive for academic excellence, it’s essential to adhere to the following expectations:

1. Attendance and Punctuality: You must attend every class, every day, and be on time. Regular attendance is crucial for your success.

2. Preparedness: Bring all necessary materials to class each day. You will not be excused from class to retrieve forgotten items.

3. Homework and Classwork: Complete all assignments on time and to the best of your ability. This is vital to your learning and progress.

4. Behavior: Only behaviors that support the learning environment are acceptable. Respect your classmates, your teachers, and the educational process.

5. Compliance: Follow all reasonable requests made by any staff member. Cooperation is key to maintaining a positive and productive environment.

6. Dress Code: The dress code will be enforced. Please ensure you are dressed appropriately according to the school’s guidelines.

Thank you for your attention to these important matters. Let’s work together to create a successful and respectful learning environment.

Please remember that attendance counts, every period, every day. Students will be marked absent if they are not present at the beginning of each period to verify their attendance.

All single-period absences will need to be reconciled through the attendance office by the student. If marked absent, student and parent/guardian will receive a notification from the attendance office informing them of the absence. The notification will include the date and period of the absence. The student will need to contact the Attendance Department to make any necessary corrections to their individual period attendance. For full-day absences, a parent/guardian must contact the attendance office by the end of the day.

Attendance Reporting Hotline:

11 & 12 Grades: 909 - 444-3625

9 & 10 Grades: 909 - 444-3642

During summer registration, students and their guardians watched the rules and expectations video for the upcoming school year. If you did not have a chance to watch it, please take a minute to view the video to help you be successful this year!

Parents: One thing you will notice this year are tardy or cell phone detention automated emails. If your child was issued a detention for excessive tardies or a cell phone violation, you will get an email with information on the detention they need to serve.
