7. Student Planner/Organization – Our School Advisory Council (SAC) generously purchased planners for all 9th graders.  Although Lyman planners may not be available for upper classman, all students will be expected to utilize a planner (paper or digital) to increase organization and communication.

 

8. Textbook Information - As per School Board Policy, each student shall be responsible for returning all items issued to him/her in good condition for use during the term.  The student and his or her parents are required to pay the purchase price for any lost or unusable textbooks.  Students should carefully check books for any previous damage.  Damaged textbooks must be returned to the Media Center the same day they are assigned or the student will be held accountable.   

 

Textbook Name:  Elements of Language

 

9. Skyward/Student Access - In an effort to provide parents with easily accessible information about student’s progress and save money on paper and printing costs, Lyman High School will post report cards and progress reports to Skyward Family Access and will print report cards only at the end of the semester.  Should parents need to obtain a printed version of a student’s report card, parents can request this through our Guidance Department.  At any time, if parents need assistance accessing Skyward, please visit the Student Services Office.  

10. Tardy Policy - Lyman High School will have an increased focus on instructional time.  Our expectation is that students arrive to class on team, each and every period.  Students who arrive late to class must report to an administrator or security officer in the courtyard or in the Administration Office to receive a tardy pass. All classroom doors will remain locked and students will not be admitted into class until the official tardy slip has been obtained.

 

11. Cell Phone Policy - Cell phones are permitted to be used for academic purposes during class.  Failure to comply with this policy will result in the phone being taken away during class or a referral.

 

12. eCampus- All assignments will be available in the eCampus; students will need to submit their work in the eCampus as well.

 

13. Honor Code Policy - Academic honesty and integrity are essential to the existence of an academic community.  Students of SCPS shall refrain from all forms of academic dishonesty, such as cheating, plagiarism, misuse of electronic communication, or other deceitful means of obtaining inflated grades.  In addition to discipline consequences and a zero on the assignment, students in violation of Honor Code may lose additional academic and extracurricular activities.
