Students may not use any phone at school other than an office phone – classroom phones and cell phones are prohibited from use by students at any time. The school does not have sufficient phone lines to accommodate student phone calls at the end of the school day. All arrangements regarding after school activities must be made before the student leaves home in the morning. Calls of an emergency nature, that may involve the interruption of a class to deliver a message to a child, must be directed to the principal or assistant principal for approval. Students must have written permission from an administrator stating a reason in order to use the office phones between 7:30 and 5:00. We ask that all students please come to school in the morning clearly knowing their dismissal plan of the day. We also ask that parents please know whether or not their children are planning to stay for an after- school activity. Video or Audio Surveillance SSCS may use video or audio surveillance to monitor halls, classrooms, and common areas to ensure student and faculty safety. Additionally, this video or audio surveillance may be used for evidence in disciplinary situations, as well as remote viewing or monitoring of various school activities, school entrances and school parking areas. Parents may request a viewing if any recording is used as evidence in a discipline case. Viewing requests by parents may be refused or limited where viewing would be an unreasonable invasion of a third party's personal privacy, would give rise to a concern for a third party's safety, or on any other grounds recognized in the Privacy Act. No other request of viewing may be honored. Approved viewings must be done in the presence of the principal or designate.
