7. Students: It is very important that you understand that you cannot have any kind of knife, a real or pretend gun, paint ball guns, or any other
kind of weapon at school. You cannot make any kind of a threat to a student or staff member. You also cannot have or be under the influence
of any drug or have drug paraphernalia at school. Your school and our school board have ZERO tolerance for these things. Students have
been expelled for having these items at school. No excuse for not knowing that these things are not allowed at school will be accepted. Take
this seriously and help keep your school safe for you and everyone. These rules apply 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including when
school is not in session. Thank you. ……...John Wilber, Principal…..
