Common use of School Policies and Procedures Clause in Contracts

School Policies and Procedures. Please know that the faculty and staff of Maryvale have the utmost concern for your daughter’s safety. Part of the beauty of the Maryvale campus is the placement of the buildings in a lovely natural setting. Although we want your daughters to enjoy the facilities, as faculty and staff leave at the end of the day, we do not wish to have students remain in an area of campus that is unsupervised. These policies, therefore, are an integral part of keeping our girls safe. All students who are not participating in school-sponsored, after-school activities are required to remain in the Xxxxxxxxx Center, unless they are attending an athletic, performing art or other Maryvale sponsored event on campus. The Reception Office is open daily until 4:00 p.m. on most school days, at which time the building is locked. Pick-up of all students is from the student drop-off circle, which is visible from the Dining Room. All students need to be off campus by 5:30 p.m. unless they are participating in a sponsored club or event. Address Change Parents/guardians are asked to notify the school office immediately of any change of address or telephone number at home or at work. This request also includes email address changes. Please email Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx at xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx or call 000-000-0000 for the Reception Office. Dining Room Students are free to relax and enjoy food/beverages in the Dining Room, Gallery Space and on the picnic tables, patios or terrace. We will encourage outdoor lunches when possible. Food and beverages are NOT permitted in the classrooms, locker rooms or hallways. Exceptions to this regulation require the consent and/or supervising presence of a teacher. Students wishing to leave their assigned lunch periods for an on-campus destination are required to sign out. Students are to remain at their seats until dismissed by faculty. Each student is responsible for the neatness and cleanliness of her eating area while in any space. Students must use their ID card to make purchases from the kitchen. See addendum: COVID-19 Student and Parent Handbook for updated elevator usage policy if needed. Elevator Use Students may use the elevators located in XxXxxxxx Xxxx and the Xxxxxxxxx Center with a medical note and written permission from the Xxxx of Students. See addendum: COVID-19 Student and Parent Handbook for updated elevator usage policy if needed. Emergency School Closings When weather conditions warrant the closing of school, we will follow Baltimore County’s closure or late opening decision. In the event of other unforeseen circumstances, (e.g. extreme heat, severe storms) IRIS will be used to announce Xxxxxxxx’s plan. Our telephone message (000-000-0000) will repeat Xxxxxxxx's plan or you can visit Xxxxxxxx’s website for updated school closings. If Maryvale is closed an excessive amount of time due to inclement weather, cyber day policies will go into effect and we may reschedule some school days. Please have a plan in place for your daughter to follow in case of an early closing. Any necessary changes to that pickup location will be provided by faculty onsite. Blackbaud’s OnCampus Blackbaud’s OnCampus, Maryvale’s Learning Management System (LMS), is aimed at connecting students, faculty and parents, both in and out of the classroom. The LMS provides calendars, resource folders, blogs, discussions, quizzes, assignments, drop boxes, bulletins and media galleries. It is also an online portal for students and parents to access important school information such as assignments, grades, attendance, schedule and report cards. This portal is our primary means of communication between students, parents and faculty. OnCampus should be current with up-to-date information.
