Leaving
School Property

It is expected that students
make appointments after school hours.
In the event that this is unavoidable
students MUST sign out at the attendance
office before leaving the school and provide
a note.
-
If a student becomes
ill during the school day they must sign
out at the attendance office before leaving
school. A sick room is available
for students not able to go home.
-
Failure to sign out at
the attendance office will result in a
lunch hour detention.
-
Students
of Legal Age
-
It
is the policy of Ursuline College to
conduct the same communication with
parents of students 18 years and older, as
with parents of younger students. Though students who are eighteen
(18) years and older are permitted to sign
notes explaining absence from school, late
and early leaves, the school reserves the
right to inform parents when notes are
used for “unacceptable” reasons (i.e.
missing tests, presentations, assignments,
etc.) or are in excess. Notes signed by students do not
absolve them from consequences of school
procedures and policies.
-
The right of an eighteen
year old student to sign himself/herself
out of school is not a license to miss
school for unacceptable reasons.
-
Computer
and Network Use
-
At the beginning of the
school year each student will be provided
a user code and password that allow them
access to Ursuline College computer
network. Students are responsible
for their own files and are discouraged
from sharing accounts with others.
Students are limited to the software
applications that are licensed and on the
network. Under no circumstances are
students permitted to “explore” parts
of the network operating system or others’
folders. Games are not permitted on
school computers. Any violation of
these conditions will be brought to the
attention of the network
administrator. A repeat offence
could result in the loss of computer
access throughout the school.
Remember, the computer network serves over
1500 students and teachers – let us work
together to keep cost, maintenance and
repair to a minimum.
-
Internet
Use
-
Internet use is a privilege and only
accessible under a teacher login and supervision.
Printing from the internet is subject to teacher
approval. Students are not permitted to access
materials that are inappropriate and would be in violation
of the Catholic School Philosophy. These sites
include: chat lines, sites that include obscene language and
graphics, and any site that the supervisory teacher views as
offensive and not in keeping with Ursuline College’s
Code of Behaviour.
