Student/Parent Handbook & Policies

Student/Parent Handbook 2020-2021: Student Services

CAFETERIA AND LUNCH PERIOD

  1. Students may purchase lunch, all or part, in the school cafeteria or they may bring a lunch to be eaten in the cafeteria.

  2. Students may not receive food deliveries from vendors without prior approval of the Administration.

  3. Students eat lunch in the cafeteria and may eat food purchased at the bookstore in the gym lobby area.

  4. All Students eat lunch in designated areas. Students are not allowed to leave the campus during lunch.

  5. A La Carte items will not be allowed to be purchased if a student has a negative lunch balance of -$10.00.

  6. Because classes are being held in various parts of the building, students on lunch break must remain between the cafeteria and the main office on the first floor during their lunch period.

  7. Eating and drinking in the school building is limited to the cafeteria and the Morris Gym entrance. No food or drink, including candy, is to be taken to other parts of the building at any time. Gum chewing is not allowed in the building during the school day (7:25 A.M. - 3:00 P.M.).

ELEVATOR
The elevator is used only by school staff and those students who have received office permission.

PERSONAL DEVICES
While home-based websites and other uses of home-based computers are regarded as a benefit to a student's computer literacy, the student needs to be aware of the following:

The Alleman name and/or Alleman logo may not be used on blogs or other websites without written permission of the school.

Using a home-based or other off -campus computer such that the use results in material and/or substantial disruption to the school and/or a true threat will constitute grounds to investigate whether the use violates applicable law or school/Diocesan rules. The use of an AHS logo on any personal account without prior administrative permission, may result in disciplinary actions if the content of the student's/parent’s personal account includes defamatory comments regarding school, the faculty or other students. Should such misuse be determined, the school will implement appropriate consequences as defined in the Acceptable Use Policy and the student discipline code.

Such violations may result in suspension, expulsion or other discipline based upon the seriousness of the offense's impact or the threat's ability to have caused material and/ or substantial disruption were it carried out.

INTERNET USE POLICY
The Internet Use Policy will be distributed to all students at the beginning of the year and each student is responsible for knowing and following the standards of use as set forth in that document.

Parents are encouraged to be familiar with the standards set forth in that document. A copy of this document is available for review in the Main Office. Both the student and the parent(s) must sign and return the Internet Acceptable Use Policy consent form.

LIBRARY
The library is an important source of materials in preparing assignments and special reports. The library also contains reading such as magazines, newspapers, and fiction.

Students use the library before and after school and may be excused from their study period to use it during the school day.

LOCKERS
During COVID-19, we will not issue a locker to students. This restriction will be lifted when we update our protocol under the direction of Catholic Diocese of Peoria.
A locker is assigned to each student. Each student must use only the assigned locker. Lockers must be kept clean and free from clutter and defacement. Freshmen must buy a green school combination padlock from the Alleman bookstore for use on their PE lockers and a blue combination padlock from the Main Office for use on their hall locker. All students are highly encouraged to keep their lockers locked at all times.

Sophomores, juniors, and seniors may re-use the Alleman combination padlocks which they purchased in the preceding school year(s). Students who lose the lock must pay the replacement cost. Only official school locks may be used on gym and hallway lockers. Lockers are the property of Alleman High School and may be examined by school officials at any time. The school is not liable for any stolen or lost items from an unlocked locker.

TELEPHONES
During the school day, if students need to use a telephone, they may request to use the phone located in the Main Office.

EXTRA HELP/TUTORING
Two types of tutoring are available:

  1. Teachers are available before and after school for extra help. Students are responsible for making an appointment with the individual teacher.

  2. See counseling for other tutoring resources.

TEXT BOOKS
Hardback textbooks are loaned to the students unless otherwise indicated in the Course Description Book. It is required that good care be taken of these books and that loss or damage be compensated. Paperback books are typically purchased by the students.

Students must have all required materials/supplies (paper, folders, notebooks, binders, pens/pencils, etc.) for the class one week after the teacher instructs them to do so. If finances are a problem the student will meet with the teacher and make special arrangements for securing the necessary materials.

FIELD TRIPS
During COVID-19, all Field trips have been suspended until further notice from Catholic the Diocese of Peoria. 

Field trips are a privilege, not a student right. Field trips are planned by classes and other school groups as part of the student’s educational experience. No field trips will take place during the last three weeks of either semester. It is the sponsor's responsibility to clear the trip and transportation arrangements through the main office and to notify the rest of the staff at least five (5) days prior to the trip if any of the students participating will miss classes. It is the student's responsibility to check in with each teacher whose class he/she will miss prior to leaving on the field trip in order to obtain assignments. All make- up work must be completed in a timely fashion or suitable arrangements made with the teacher before the student is excused for any field trip. Field trips and activities made available to the students by Alleman High School are considered an extension of school. The school regulations are enforced accordingly. (Ex. Dress Code) Official Field Trip Form may be found on the Diocesan website at www.cdop.org.

ASSEMBLIES
During COVID-19, all assemblies (excluding Mass) have been suspended until further notice from Catholic the Diocese of Peoria. 
All School assemblies are held periodically throughout the year for spiritual, academic, and entertainment purposes. Students are expected to enter and exit the assembly in an orderly fashion and sit with their class while in attendance. Students should demonstrate conduct that is both courteous and respectful throughout the assembly.
