CLOSED CAMPUS
Harmony Grove School District has a "closed campus" policy. This means that once a student arrives on the school campus in the morning, he/she may not leave until school is dismissed for the day unless permission from the principal is granted. Students who fail to secure this permission will be considered truant.
If permission is granted, students leaving the campus must sign out in the principal’s office, stating the time of their departure and the reason for leaving. Upon their return, students must sign in at the principal’s office. VISITORS
Parents are welcome at any time.
*No disruption of the teaching process will be allowed.
*Visitors such as friends or students from other schools are not allowed to come to school with you. ALL parent and relative visitors are to report FIRST to the principals’ offices for directions, sign in, and receive a pass before visiting in the school.
*Elected officials and/or political candidates are not allowed to present campaign propaganda on school premises during the school day.
PARENTAL POLICY
The Harmony Grove School Board recognizes that a child’s education is a responsibility so that students will be educated to the maximum extent possible.
Recognizing the diversity in culture and needs of the parents in the district, the board directs the school staff to form a commitment to work with parents in ways in which the parents are comfortable to successfully educate the students of the district. Both parents and staff will establish programs and practices that welcome parental involvement in meeting the diverse needs of students and families in the Harmony Grove School District.
Through a comprehensive parental involvement program in the district schools, parents at each grade level from diverse racial and cultural backgrounds will serve in various roles to develop, implement, and evaluate all components of the parental involvement program. The program will be comprehensive and will be coordinated through the parent center.
