Information for Students

Student I.D.'s
Each student will be issued a photo I.D. card for the current school year. This I.D. is the property of Kirby School District 140 and is initialy given free of charge. The I.D. may not be defaced or damaged on either side, which includes writing, holes, pictures, stickers, trimming, cutting, etc. In the event of loss or mutilation, a temporary I.D. will be issued until a replacement can be given at the cost of $2.00 to the student. Each student will be allowed two temporary I.D. cards per quarter without disciplinary consequences. Students must carry their I.D. and must produce and/or surrender it upon the request of any teacher, bus driver or staff member for identification purposes. I.D. cards must be carried at all times throughout the school day and at all school sponsored activities.

Student Lockers
Lockers and desks are the property of the school district. Students will be assigned an individual locker. This locker is the student's responsibility for the entire school year. The school reserves the right to inspect lockers. Locker combinations should be memorized and kept confidential. At no time should a student attempt to open another student's locker. Never kick or force the doors of your locker. If your locker fails to work properly, the office should be notified so repairs can be made. Lockers that are damaged beyond normal wear will be the financial responsibility of the student's family. Locker decorating is not permissible.

The school is not responsible for your personal possessions; you are! Never keep valuables or large sums of money in your locker.

Since you will not have time to visit your locker after every class, plan your locker visits wisely. Memorize which books and supplies you will need for each class and organize your locker stops.

Personal Possessions
Students should not bring radios, headsets, CD’s, electronic equipment, cameras, MP3 Players, rollerblades, baseball bats, lasers, or other valuable items to school.  These items are a distraction and are often lost or stolen.

Skateboards
Skateboards are not to be brought to school. Skateboarding on school grounds at anytime is prohibited.

Hallways
Crowded hallways are often the sites of accidents. Students are cautioned to walk, not run, and to refrain from bumping and shoving others. When in the hallway, always stay to the right. The elevator is not for student use except in a medical disability. In such cases, a special "Pass" is necessary for the student.

Bicycles
Bicycle racks are located on the west side of the building. All bikes must be parked in the racks and individually locked. Students assume responsibility for their own bicycles. The school cannot be held responsible for bikes that are damaged or stolen. Bikes must be walked while on school grounds. Bikes may not be parked inside the school vestibule or hallways. Students may be denied bike privileges if reported for reckless behavior.

School Supplies
The PTO supplies each student with an assignment notebook. Students are required to buy the school supplies that their teachers determine necessary for their successful completion of classes. These supplies include, but are not limited to: pens, marking pens, pencils, notebook paper, spiral notebooks, and folders. Students must bring these supplies to class each day.

Food / Gum
All food items are restricted to the commons. Gum is not permitted in school at any time.
