Students are to follow the directives of the faculty and staff at all times. Student behavior in the classroom must contribute to and not hinder the learning process. If a student is told to leave the classroom for disciplinary reasons, he must report immediately to the Attendance Office and remain there until he meets with one of the Deans. The school reserves the right to search students, their lockers, cars, and their possessions on campus, and/or at school events without prior notice. De La Salle is a closed campus. In order to leave campus during the day, written permission, or by telephone in the case of an immediate emergency, is needed from the student’s parents. No student from another campus or an unauthorized adult may be on the property without clearance from the Deans. All visitors to campus are asked to be screened through the Main Office for safety reasons. Occasions of gathering as a student body demand proper respect and courtesy, especially toward guests and neighbors. Students should distinguish between assemblies, rallies, liturgical events, and the like, in determining the appropriate behavior for each. Students are to respect the property of the school and other students. This respect includes the proper use of and care for all equipment. Students are also expected to report malfunctioning or defective equipment. Theft and vandalism, including malicious pranks of any kind, are contrary to De La Salle’s philosophy and will not be tolerated. It is the moral responsibility of each student to report thefts or any vandalism should such incidents be witnessed. The parents of students who are guilty of theft and/or vandalism will be held financially responsible for the restitution of property and the repair of damage. Students are not to loiter in the student parking lot and should not visit that area during the school day. If some urgent matter causes a student to have to visit his car, he must receive prior approval from one of the Deans. Normally, a student should only go to his car to leave campus at the end of the day or with prior approval. Students are not permitted to eat or drink in classrooms, offices, library,
