Student grades are a reflection of academic progress from September through June. The best possible education is being offered to you at High School North. You can make the most of it by the amount of effort that you are willing to expend. Teachers take many areas into consideration when recording the grades of students, but bear in mind: the grade you achieve is the grade you give yourself.
Students should keep to the right at all times while moving through the halls to and from classes. Movement should be prompt, with a minimal of lingering, which may block the passage of other students. Talking should be moderate and conversational. Upon arrival at the classroom, students should enter promptly and remain inside the classroom. At no time should students run in the halls or behave in a manner that impedes traffic. At all times including lunch periods, students with hall passes are authorized to go only to the destination indicated on the pass.
Ninth and tenth grade students are expected to remain in the underclassmen wing; eleventh and twelfth grade students are expected to remain in the upperclassmen wing - unless the student's schedule causes them to be elsewhere.
No student is to be in the hall during class time unless he has an official hall pass from his teacher. Standard hall passes are the only acceptable passes; they must be accurately completed: STUDENTS NAME (first and last), DATE, ORIGINAL LOCATION, DESTINATION, TIME, and THE TEACHER SIGNATURE. Any student who spends excessive time in the halls or demonstrates inappropriate behavior may have his/her pass privileges revoked.

Homework is an important and necessary element of the school program, which contributes greatly to successful student achievement. Students at the high school level are expected to spend a significant amount of time on homework assignments, including preparation for each class, reports, projects, term papers, and independent reading. An average of one half hour per subject per day or 2-3 hours per subject per week is expected.
If a student knows in advance that he is going to be absent, he is encouraged to secure in advance any and all homework from his teacher. In the event of an extended absence, parents should contact the guidance counselor so that students can be kept abreast of their school work.

To ride the late bus, students must have a pass (which will be provided by the
teacher supervising the after school activity) which is to be presented to the
bus driver as the student steps onto the bus. Students are not permitted
to ride the last bus if they do not have a pass verifying they have remained

Lateness to
school have an adverse effect on academic performance; with this in mind, we
urge all students to be on time. Additionally, repeated lates to school
cause a student to miss instructional time, particularly in period 1, which
begins promptly at 7:20. There are a limited number of reasons that are
accepted as excused lates. We acknowledge excused lates for:
* Doctor, dentist, or medical appointment
* Driver's test
* Illness
* Family Emergency
* Religious service
However, in order for a late to be considered "excused," when the student
signs in at the attendance office, he must submit a) a physicians note, b) a
driver's test verification, or c) parental note specifying the reason for
lateness as well as a phone number where parent /guardian can be reached for
verification.
The administration realizes that even the most conscientious student may
experience problems from time to time. it is for this reason that
detentions / consequences are issued only at every third unexcused
late. ("I missed the bus," The alarm did not go off, "The traffic was
horrendous...are all considered unexcused lates.) Consequences for an
unexcused lates are:
First period
lates (7:20-7:42)
1/3
cut will be recorded for each late. Every 3 lates will equal 1 cut in period
1 and a detention will be assigned .
At the third late ,the student will have accumulated 1 cut in period 1. In addition to being assigned a day of detention, a letter will be sent home notifying parents of the 1 cut status.
At the sixth late, the student will have accumulated 2 cuts n period 1. detention will again be assigned and a letter will be sent home notifying the parents of the 2-cut status and advising parents that a third cut will result in removal from the class with loss of all credits.
At the ninth late, the student will have accumulated 3 cuts and may be removed from the period one class.
Lates after 7:42
Each late is counted as one full cut in the classes missed; appropriate detentions and cuts will be assigned.
Each student will be assigned a locker. Students should go to their lockers before the opening bell, during the change of classes, and at the end of the school day. Going to the lockers while classes are in session creates a disturbance and cannot be permitted. Students are reminded of the following conditions governing use of lockers.
Lockers are NOT to be shared.
Lockers security is the responsibility of the student.
Lockers should be kept clean at all times. Periodic clean out of lockers will be held during the school year.
Lockers are school property of loan to the students ,and as such, students are responsible for keeping them in good condition. Any damage caused by the user directly or by his neglect will be costed out against the user.
In the event a theft does occur, a theft report form must be filed. The student (or staff member) should see a safety officer and/or an administrator.
In accordance with New Jersey State Law (Chapter 198, June 26, 1985), the Administration of Toms River High School North reserves the right to "inspect student lockers or other storage facilities provided for use by the students."
All articles which are "found" should be turned into the Main Office. The lost and found storage area can be accessed through the main office.
The cafeteria is provided for the purpose of serving nutritious meals during the scheduled lunch periods. The following guidelines Apply:
Food is not to be taken out of the cafeteria. No trays should leave the building. Trays and trash should be deposited in the appropriate areas. Students are responsible for cleaning up after themselves. No food, drink or debris is to be left on or under the tables.
Students are permitted to eat lunch in the cafeteria of their choice. However, students may be assigned to a cafeteria whenever necessary.
No students are permitted in the halls during lunch without a signed pass from a teacher.
Students may leave campus for lunch if they submit a signed permission slip presenting parental permission.
Students who leave campus for lunch are not excused if they are late returning to school - regardless of the reason. A car that ran out of gas or a slow server at McDonalds is not an acceptable reason for a late return.
Off campus lunch is a privilege. DO NOT behave in a manner that will bring consequences to you or our school.
Personal pagers are, under the law, illegal for students to carry during school hours. They are considered paraphernalia and as such, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES are they permitted to be worn by students while in attendance at school. Students must turn over pagers at the request of an administrator. The parent of guardian will be notified and the pager will be turned over to the parent. Students and parents must understand that pagers will not be tolerated and will be confiscated.
It is inappropriate for students to have cell phones in their possession during school hours. Even if a student is not speaking on the phone, a ringing phone, programming one's phone during study hall or playing a game during a lunch period - all these are considered distractions to the educational process. We realize that students may have phones with them for use after the school day; for example, students may use a phone to call for a ride home.
No student will b e permitted to leave any classroom while class is in session without a pass issued by the teacher. Hall duty teachers have been instructed to send students back to class if they do not have a pass.
No Pass Status

Names of students who are on no pass status will be listed on the daily attendance sheet for teacher information and advisement.
Personal articles and phone calls
The main office can be very busy thoroughfare with numerous people coming and going throughout the courses of the day therefore it is necessary that all students use discretion when asking a parent to bring in a personal article. Please refrain from having school placed in the position of being a repository of personal items of any value Further please refrain form having personal phone messages placed in the main office. In case of emergency we will be willing to contact the student at request of a parent.
Posters and notices of any kind must receive approval of the Student Service Center before posted in our school. Please do not ask permission to advertise activities which do not pertain to the educational program of the school.
All students should be aware that the policies and procedures of the Toms River Board of Education are enforced during the school day whether on campus or off campus.

the direct supervision of a teacher, coach or advisor. Under NO
circumstances shall students be in the building in an unsupervised capacity.

following penalties will be assessed upon those students who violate this
