Drills, Dress code, and Drop Off, OH MY!
Safety Drills
Regularly scheduled drills have begun. These include fire, tornado, earthquake and lockdown drills. Our students and staff have done an excellent job with these drills and we will continue them throughout the year to keep everyone safe.CCSD Random Searches
As part of the Charleston County School District safety plan and in accordance with board policy and South Carolina law, CCSD will be conducting random weapons screenings throughout the school year. The screenings will be conducted by the Search and Safety Team, which is under the CCSD Office of Security and Emergency Management. The screenings, which may include classrooms, buses, lockers, and entryways, are preventative in nature and are conducted as a deterrent in the interest of maintaining safe schools.
The selection process used for the screenings is a nonselective process conducted in accordance with a predetermined formula and witnessed by a non-security CCSD employee. Prior to the search, the places that are to be searched are randomly selected using Random.org.
If a student is found in possession of something they should not have, then the student's parent or guardian will be contacted directly by a school administrator.
More information about the random search program can be found at this link. Thank you for your support of the district's efforts to keep all of our students safe.
Dress Code Reminders
LBHS Dress Code can be found here. We we take pride in the diversity of our students. We strive to respect and protect students’ rights to express themselves through the way they dress. We desire to create an all-inclusive environment where students are safe and comfortable. Practicing appropriate attire will better prepare all students for continuing education and workplace atmospheres
Drop off and Pick up
Our parents and students have done a great job with our car line, walking, biking, and student driving but here are a few reminders. We appreciate everyone's cooperation to keep our students and staff safe.
- Student driving is a privilege and privileges can be suspended or revoked for irresponsible actions including tardies, failure to obey parking rules, misbehavior in the parking lot, failure to come straight into the building upon arrival or hanging out in the parking lot after dismissal.
- Bikers and walkers should obey all best practices including using bike lanes, sidewalks and cross walks. It is strongly recommended that cyclists wear a helmet and lock bikes up at our bike racks.
- The carpool pick up line is designed to stack as many vehicles as possible to prevent back ups onto Mathis Ferry. Students should not cross the car line for any reason. Students may be picked up along the sidewalk in front of the school that wraps from the bike rack all the way around to the bus loop. Please do not text students to meet you anywhere except along the sidewalk by the pick up line.
Outside food deliveries are not allowed.
All students can eat breakfast and lunch in our cafeteria. We also have snack machines around campus for their use.
Hydrate!
Attendance is IMPORTANT!
Student attendance in school is mandated by state law. For full details, please see Attendance Policies (linked here and found on the LBHS website.) Students missing more than 5 unexcused absences in a block class or more than 10 unexcused absences in a yearlong class will be required to make up seat time.
If your student is absent for any reason for any amount of time, we need an attendance form completed (linked and found on the LBHS website). It is our policy at Lucy Beckham to use this form for ALL things attendance. This includes: Absences, early out’s, late arrivals or tardies.
We ask that your student bring this form to the attendance office before 8:30 am if they wish to receive an early out pass. We will not call into classrooms and track your child down. It is your student’s responsibility to obtain the early out pass and come to attendance at their scheduled time.
Due to safety issues, we will NOT accept phone calls or emails regarding attendance. Attendance forms can be found in the front office, in the attendance office and on our website by clicking the parent tab at the top and then the attendance form.
Thank you for your support in ensuring students are present and on time.
