Students who are talking on a cell phone or texting while driving in the school parking lot will receive a Class II infraction and may lose the privilege of parking on campus. Weapons Policy Dangerous or disruptive articles, such as firearms, pepper spray, knives, or fireworks are not in keeping with the mission and standards of the school and are not permitted on campus, in any vehicle on campus, or at any school sponsored function including on school-sponsored trips. Violation of this policy is a serious offense. Such articles will be confiscated, and not returned, and appropriate disciplinary actions will be taken. At the discretion of the Dean of Students, law enforcement may also be notified. Expectations Regarding Social Networking Sites It is not recommended that students identify themselves as Ursuline students on any social networking site or public blog. A student whose profile (postings, biographical information, photographs) or participation is linked to content that focuses on rumors, mean-spiritedness, and/or inappropriate material may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including expulsion, at the sole discretion of the Dean of Students. Ride Sharing For the safety and security of our students, any rideshare services families may wish to use need to be vetted through the Director of Security and Principal. Once approved, all drop-offs and pickups will need to happen in the designated front part of the school. Food Delivery Services For the safety and security of our students, they will not be allowed to use or order from any type of delivery service (Uber Eats/Favor/Grub hub, etc.). Visitors can drop off lunch to students at the Rotunda Entrance. Cameras on Campus For the protection and safety of students and faculty, all activities, and premises at Ursuline Academy of Dallas may be recorded by video surveillance. No surveillance will be conducted in areas where students and/or faculty have a legitimate expectation of privacy, such as changing rooms, showers, or restrooms.
