LOCKERS
All High school students are issued a designated locker. Students must use the lockers wisely, keeping them locked at all times
and not telling anyone else their lock combination. In general, students are discouraged from bringing or wearing valuables to
school. If a student does have valuables at school, he/she must exercise care in locking them away safely. The school does not
take responsibility for valuables that are lost or stolen. Books, backpacks and bags should not be left in the halls. Students may
decorate the inside of lockers with items that can be easily removed, but not the outside. At the end of the year, these
decorations must be removed. Students are advised to use their lockers before school, at the breaks, at the beginning and end
of lunch, and prior to the last class period of the day. This will help them to get to class on time. Having to access a locker is not
an acceptable excuse for being tardy to class or advisory.
Physical Education Lockers
For physical education, students have access to lockers and will be expected to bring a lock. Students are discouraged from
bringing any valuables to the locker rooms.
Lost and Found
Please check in the HS/FA Office if you have lost something, or if you have found something and are turning it in. The lost and
found is located in the HS/FA Office.
Off-Limit Areas
In general, High School students are to remain in the area designated for high school use. Unless there is specific reason to do so
as guided by a teacher, high school students should not be in Elementary or Middle School designated areas unless authorized.
Students are also not permitted to be loitering in unsupervised/non-public areas.
Pets on Campus
Pets are not allowed on campus unless they are part of an organized school activity. This is for the health and safety of our
school community.
Rollerblades, Skateboards, & Other Recreational Equipment
Skateboards, rollerblades and scooters are not allowed on campus unless they are part of an organized and supervised activity.
This is for safety reasons and for the protection of school property.
Emergency Procedures
The HS/FA has periodic drills during which students, faculty, and staff practice emergency procedures. During a Fire Drill, all
students report to the grounds on each of the building, where attendance is supervised by Security, class teachers and
administration.
Supervision of Students
AUS provides adequate supervision of students both during class time and during break times. For the safety of all, students are
reminded of areas that are off limits and are expected to remain in designated areas only.
Visitors
American United School does not generally allow students from other schools on campus during the school day. Visitors from
other cities may attend if their visits have been arranged with the head of the high school and cleared in advance with the
school personnel involved. It is important for both the students and their guests that the work of the school day take
precedence and be respected. Any strangers on campus should be reported to Administration, Security and/or Staff
immediately.
Volunteers At American United School we recognize that there can be situations in which volunteers can make an
appropriate and significant contribution to the work and services of the school. The contribution of volunteers to the work of
the school is especially valued and respected. All volunteers need to read and sign the “Volunteer Policy” document.
