2.  Initially you will report to this campus with nothing more than your assigned textbooks.  You will introduce NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING else when you report this this campus.

3.  To avoid distractions from other students you will be asked to sit in a specific desk.  Once you enter the classroom, we expect for you to get your work and sit in your assigned desk.  We will inform you if a change in the seating arrangement is necessary.  Once you have been seated in the assigned desk, you will be issued paper and pencil and your assignment.  You are expected to do your own work.  Do not copy from others.  If you need help, ask the teacher or the staff to help you.  We can help only one student at a time.  Wait for your turn to be helped by sitting at your desk quietly and raise your hand.  Do not distract other student who are doing their work by talking or asking them questions.  Make sure that you work on the assignment you are given.  Do not write notes, letters, or draw pictures.  Doing this will result in point deductions on your card.  Anytime you finish an assignment, notify your teacher and wait patiently until you are given another assignment.  If you need to sharpen your pencil, you will ask do it for you.  Do not break the lead of your pencil intentionally or try to keep the lead.  Tis will lead us to believe that you want to use the lead to write elsewhere.  This can only result in point deductions for the student.  Failure to follow these rules after being warned or reminded will result in a fine.  Some teachers may give you a folder to keep all your work in.  Do not write or draw anything on this folder.  It should only have your name which the teacher will write on the folder.  Keep your files in order at all times. Do not lend your folder to another student.

4.  Male students will not be allowed to bring billfolds, combs, or hair brushes.  Female students will not be allowed to bring a purse, makeup nor wear jewelry of any kind.  Male and female students will not wear watches, rings, or earrings.   Students will not wear piercing devices or strings in their ears or any other parts of their bodies.  Pens, pencils, mark-o-lots, cell phones, beepers, purses, makeup, billfolds, combs, hair brushes as

 well as any jewelry will be confiscated.  Confiscated items will be returned to the students parents at the end of the students assignment to Roosevelt Alternative School.

5.  During your attendance at this campus you will respect our staff, all other students, all public and private property, and above all yourself.  You will not lie, cheat, or steal and you will conduct yourself in a socially acceptable manner.  You will do what your are told and do it at the time you are told to do it.

6.  All students will be addressed by their proper name and you will address all staff by Mister (last name) or Miss (last name).  You will not refer to anyone in a derogatory voice or manner.  Students are prohibited from threating, harassing, or otherwise attempting to intimidate other students who wear or display specific colors or clothing.

7.  While on this campus, you will not go anywhere without specific instructions to do so.  When instructed to report to a designated area, you will be escorted by a member of the staff until you have earned the right to move about without supervision.  If you wish to see a counselor, you are to write down your name and GROUP number on a piece of paper and give it to a teacher, an aide, or a security officer.  The counselor will then have you escorted to his/her office.

Class size is kept small so individual students can benefit from teacher-student interactions.

8.  The Roosevelt Alternative School is a closed campus and you will arrive and depart this campus through the designated areas only.  Use of school telephones will not be allowed, except if there is a personal or family emergency.  Only those persons with official school business and students currently enrolled at Roosevelt Alternative School are allowed on campus.  Unauthorized persons found on campus will be considered trespassers and are subject to criminal prosecution.
