Boles After School Expectations

Our after school expectations for students are based upon safety and available supervision of students outside the building at the end of our school day. We know that safety is one of the most important issues in a school setting; we believe the following expectations will help us easily provide a secure environment as the school day ends.

Students not involved in after school programs:
•School staff will supervise students from 3:55 – 4:15 in front of the school waiting for busses and parents to arrive for pick up.
•Students need to have parents pick them up no later than 4:15.
•Students walking home will be expected to leave the campus grounds by 4:00 and not return to school unless accompanied by a parent or to attend a scheduled evening event.

Students involved in athletic or fine arts practices/events:
All students involved in extracurricular programs should be with a teacher, coach, director, or someone from the school staff. The front door locks at 4:30 Monday – Thursday and 4:00 on Friday.

Students remaining after school for BASE Camp, tutorials or scheduled club meeting:
•Students will be allowed to call parents before leaving the school building after being released from their tutorial or meeting.
•Parents will be expected to pick up these students within 15 minutes, and students walking will leave the campus grounds immediately.

Attendance at Extracurricular Activities:
Students and parents are encouraged to attend and support the many different extracurricular activities offered at Boles JH. It is important to continue to build Bulldog PRIDE! Therefore, it is requested that all students (participants and fans) and parents should respect our own students and staff, as well as any visiting teams or officials at these events.

To ensure appropriate supervision, students will not be allowed to wait on campus after school to attend extracurricular events and activities. Students who want to cheer on their teams at these events must go home and return when events begin. No student will be allowed to hang out around the building until evening games/events begin.

All students must stay seated in the student sections while at games that are on and off campus. No loitering in halls or between stands and concessions.

Also, to ensure student safety, students should be picked up no later than 15 minutes after the end of the event. Students who are left past 15 minutes will no longer be allowed to attend any after school events unless they are accompanied by a parent who stays the entire time. We encourage all students to call their parents at the beginning of the last quarter of any sports event (rather than waiting until the event has already ended) to ensure that they are picked up on time
