Northwestern High School - Rock Hill School District

GENERAL INFORMATION
ARRIVAL AT SCHOOL
All students driven to school in private cars should be dropped off/picked up on school property.
However, if it is necessary to drop off/pick up students at a location that will require the student to
cross a roadway to access or leave Northwestern; students are to cross only at the designated
crosswalks. Students are reminded that once they arrive on the Northwestern campus they are not to
leave without school personnel permission until the end of the regular school day. Drivers are
reminded they are not to use the grassy areas or roadways in front of the school for dropping off or
picking up students.
LEAVING CAMPUS
At the end of the instructional day, students not involved in extra-curricular activities must leave
campus within 20 minutes.
CARE OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS
Every student at Northwestern High School should take personal pride in the appearance of the
school buildings and surroundings. Students who have this pride resent the defacing of walls and
furniture by those who do not. Students who deface/destroy school property are subject to suspension,
expulsion, financial restitution for damages, and/or work detail.
A few guidelines are:
1. Put waste paper in receptacles found in rooms, corridors, parking lots, and on sidewalks.
2. Keep desks and walls clean.
3. Exercise special care in the restrooms to keep them clean at all times.
4. Students are not to walk or sit on the grass in the main courtyard and surrounding areas.
Please use the sidewalks and benches provided.
RECYCLING
All members of the Northwestern community should recognize the need for and the benefits of
recycling. Therefore, students, staff members, and visitors are asked to place recyclable materials in
the designated areas on campus. Please join in making Northwestern campus a clean and attractive
learning environment for everyone.
ENTRANCE TO BUILDINGS
Students may enter the building at 8:20 a.m. daily. Students participating in tutoring must have their
school ID and a valid pass. No students are allowed in the hallways or classrooms before 8:20 a.m.
with the exception of the cafeteria which is open for breakfast and in case of inclement weather.
Students are instructed not to congregate in such a manner as to block sidewalk and hall passage ways.
