Check Writing Policy
Each person writing a check to a school or the School System should write the check on a commercially printed check with your name, address and phone number. Counter or starter checks will not be accepted. When a person writes a check to a School or the School System, the person writing the check agrees that if the check is returned, it may be represented electronically on the same account and the fee, that has been established by law., may be debited from the same account. If the check and fee are not collected electronically, CHECKredi will contact you by mail and by telephone in order for you to make arrangements to pay. Payments may be made to CHECKredi by mailing to 4925 Sparkman Drive or to P.O. Box 3829, Huntsville, AL 35810. Payments of the check and fee may be made electronically at www.checkredi.com, by using a credit card, debit card or electronic check without additional fee. For a convenience fee, payments may be made over the phone by credit or debit card or electronic check by calling toll free 1-877-524-7334.
Bus Information
Your student is eligible to ride the school bus provided you live two miles or more from the school. Students who are not eligible to ride a school bus may not ride a bus under any circumstances.
Due to student accountability and the safety for all students, alternate stop changes are not permitted-unless it is a stop change on the same route. Arrangements to alternate addresses are the parent/guardians responsibility. Students are required to ride their assigned bus to and from the student's registered address.
Bus transportation is provided for students, however, riding the bus is a privilege that may be revoked at any time for disruptive or unsatisfactory conduct. Since safety is our primary concern, all students who are transported by bus are under the authority of the bus driver and the school.
Cell Phone Information
Cell phones must not be visible, turned on or used during school hours: 8:30 a.m. until 4:15 p.m. – bell to bell.
Cell phones that ring, vibrate or are visible during school hours will be confiscated. Parents/guardians may retrieve their child's confiscated cell phone at the appropriate administrative office.
Text messaging is not allowed during school hours.
Cell phones and other electronic devices are the responsibility of the student. Electronic devices lost, stolen or damaged are not the responsibility of the school. Students should place "turned off" phones and other electronics inside of their backpacks for safe keeping.

Emergency Cards
An emergency card will be sent home with each student at the beginning of each school year. Please complete and update the card with current information and return it to the school immediately.
Textbooks
The textbooks, which are loaned to students, are very expensive and are expected to last for many years. It is the responsibility of each student to take good care of them. Parents/Guardians will be responsible for any lost or damaged books.
Textbooks are also available online! Students need to check with their teacher for access information.
Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT)
The Bring Your Own Technology BYOT program allows students in participating schools and classrooms to use their own devices (laptops, smart phones, tablets, etc.) to connect to the district’s BYOT network. Teachers facilitate the use of student devices by integrating Web 2.0 tools, Internet research, and applications to engage students in the curriculum content and collaboration with peers.
The BYOT program provides students with access to their personal technology resources to support teachers and administrators as they prepare students to develop real-world, 21st-century skills.
