Students are required to put their trash in the trash cans after eating their lunch. Students who do not adhere to this rule will face disciplinary action. Students who are caught cutting in front of others in the lunch line could face disciplinary action. With the exception of special events, students may not eat or drink in classrooms, or in other areas of the campus except for those designated above. The front courtyard includes only the area north of the English wing and south of the cafeteria.

The Health Card is very important because of vital information such as emergency telephone numbers and health data. The Health Card is also used to verify the names of persons allowed to check students out of school. Parents should complete these cards and have their signature either witnessed by two people or notarized. All students should have these cards turned in by the end of the second week of school. Failure to turn the health card in will result in the assignment of appropriate disciplinary measures. __________________________________________________________________ I.D. Cards Students are encouraged to buy an I.D. card at the beginning of the year for $10.00. The I.D. card entitles the student to be admitted to all MHS activities at the student price.

A good learning environment is essential to the overall educational process. Good discipline is the most important factor in ensuring a good learning environment. Good discipline teaches self-discipline in the areas of organization, self-control, orderliness, efficiency, and proper consideration of other people. In accordance with Chapter 232 of the Florida Statutes, and subject to law and the rules of the Santa Rosa County School Board, the Principal, his designees, and each member of the instructional staff has the authority to control and discipline students. In addition, the law prescribes for the maintenance of good order in the classroom and other places in which the Principal and his staff have the responsibility for students. It is our desire to maintain an environment that is conducive to learning. Effective Discipline and the maintenance thereof, is essential for establishment of a healthy learning environment. This is the central task of the MHS Discipline office. 17 Friday Agenda Planner The Agenda Planner will be used at MHS this year as your hall pass, library pass, and as a vital source of communication between your home and the school. Students must have the Agenda Planner in their possession at all times on MHS Campus.

No student organization may require any student to sell any item which that student does not voluntarily agree to sell. No penalty such as payment of money, removal from membership or removal from a position of authority may be required of a student for not participating. If a student, however, agrees to sell an item, he or she will be required to turn in the money for the item. 2. Since collecting money by a roadblock is illegal, no student organization may take part in a roadblock activity. 3. No student organization may take part in any gambling activities. Example: raffles. 4. No activity of any kind may be performed by a student organization unless it is first approved by the administration. 5. School organizations may have no form of initiations. 1. Wednesday 26 February Probation Thursday 27 February Student organizations which violate school rules may be placed on probation. The length of time of probation will be determined by the nature of the violation. Organizations on probation may not: 1. Have any form of social activity such as parties. 2. Perform any money-making activities. 3. Hold meetings other than those approved by the school administration. Organizations on probation may: 1. Perform service projects. 2. Hold meetings and do service projects approved in advance by the school ad ministration. Students who are members of an organization which is on probation are not restricted from attending activities of other organizations. 96 33 Friday Money-Making Projects 21 February Each organization is required to spend at least one-half of the profit from money-making projects on service projects which will benefit the school or community. All of the money earned by student organizations is to be deposited in the Main Office in that organization's account. Each sponsor and treasurer should keep a record backed up by check requisitions and deposit slips of the amount. Organizations may spend the money in their accounts as needed. Scheduling Activities Student organizations must get prior approval before they may take part in any activity. One of the major reasons for this is to prevent several similar activities from taking place at the same time. All class/club meetings should be scheduled with Administration by either the sponsor or the president. Any activity which involves collecting money requires a Fund Raising Request Form which can be picked up in Mrs. Foster’s office. All school activities should be posted on the school calendar. Sat/Sun 22/23 February Dance Regulations 1. Dances are open to all Milton High School students and dates that are approved. Seniors and juniors may bring out of school guests to the Homecoming Dance, The Beau Dance and The Prom only. At all other dances, seniors only may bring out of school guests.

For their own good health and physical development, all students are strongly encouraged to become involved in one of these programs. In addition to helping students keep physically fit, our athletic program teaches students the value of teamwork and helps to foster school pride. Gender Equity Milton High School is very concerned about providing equal opportunities for both male and female athletics. All programs are governed by the rules and codes of the Florida High School Activities Association. Fund-raising Thursday 20 94 February Although funding is provided for athletics, these funds fall far short of covering expenses for all athletic programs at MHS. Athletic teams may find it necessary to engage in fund-raising activities throughout the school year with the help of students and parents to cover expenses (travel, meals, uniforms, etc.). 35 ______________________________________________________________ Physicals All students involved in any Milton High School sports program are required to have a notarized physical form completed by a local doctor, insurance and a birth certificate on file with the school.

The Parent Internet Viewer (PIV) provides real-time reporting. This means no more waiting for semester, weekly, or mid-term progress reports or file downloads. Changes or additions to student information are available instantly to both parents and students. Teachers enter grade information into their electronic grade book, and PIV organizes and formats the data for convenient viewing at any time, day or night. Now parents and students can be actively engaged in the education process by monitoring missing assignments, earned grades, and academic progress. Security Concerns The Excelsior Pinnacle system, of which PIV is but a part, acts as a firewall, ensuring the security of all student information. The information displayed is for viewing only. No changes may be made to either grades or information appearing in any of the reports. In addition, for security reasons, the displayed reports do not contain any reference to a student name. Looking up previously referenced pages from this browser will not reveal the person to whom the data belongs. The information available from the PIV is specific only to a given student ID and PIN code. It is the obligation of the user of this web page to know the proper student ID and PIN code for the Milton High School site. Accessing PIV Log on to the MHS web site’s home page at www.santarosa.k12.fl.us/mhs Click on “Home” at the top of the site. Next choose Pinnacle Internet Viewer. This will take you to the “Welcome Page” for PIV. View the directions on the Welcome Page. When you are ready to proceed, click on the highlighted bar which states “Continue to PIV.” Requesting a student’s grades once you have logged on to PIV: Wednesday 5 February In the box provided, enter the student’s ID number.
