Use of Electronic Media in the Classroom

In order to support student honor and reduce needless distractions to the learning process, Webb does not permit the student use of electronic media in the classroom at any time, except the use of computers, calculators, and other media as directed/ permitted by the classroom teacher. All electronic media (which include, but are not limited to, cell phones, portable video game systems, and mp3 players) must be in the “off” position and stored out of sight. Consequences for the inappropriate use or placement of electronic media include after-school detention, confiscation of the device, and a possible honor violation. The use of calculators and computers for learning purposes must be approved for classroom use by the individual teachers.

Computer Laptops

A student must keep his/her computer laptop in his/her locker, bookbag, or in his/her possession at all times. Any laptop not in a student’s locker, bookbag, or possession will be brought to the Upper School Office.

Webb School Bookstore

Textbooks, school supplies, art supplies, and gym clothing are sold at the school bookstore. Unless parents notify the school in advance that they object, purchases will be charged to the student’s school account.

Fundraising Activities

Occasionally, an advisory or other group may want to schedule fundraising activities to support worthwhile service projects. Any such activity considered by student groups must first be presented to the Upper School Head or Office of Student Life for approval.

It is strictly forbidden for a student to sell items at school or to solicit contributions to charitable organizations on campus without authorized permission.

Driving to School

Driving to school is a privilege that can be temporarily or permanently revoked if abused. Conditions under which parking permits are issued include:

• All student vehicles must be registered before students may park on campus.

• Permits will be issued to students 16 years of age or older who hold a valid driver’s license (not a learner’s permit) and be covered by insurance.

• Applications for permits may be picked up in the Upper School Office. There is a $100 nonrefundable registration fee.

• Receipt of the parking permit constitutes the acceptance of all the rules/policies pertaining to driving on campus. Parking applications are available online or in the Upper School Office.

• Each driver is assigned a parking space. Parking elsewhere results in a temporary loss of driving privileges and may result in disciplinary action. The office manager and a member from the Office of Student Life assigns parking places.

• Students may not lend parking tags or places.

The following regulations apply to student drivers on campus:

• Students may NOT visit or move vehicles during the school day without permission.

• Permission must be granted by a school administrator, not a teacher or staff member.

• Students may move vehicles from one lot to another after 3:50 p.m.

• Drivers will yield to all pedestrians and school buses.

• The speed limit on campus is 15 miles per hour.

• Unlicensed vehicles are forbidden.

Student drivers are expected to be in their first class on time. Frequent or excessive unexcused tardies may result in the loss of driving privileges. Students who break these rules or endanger the lives of others on campus will lose their driving privileges temporarily or permanently.

Students must park in their assigned spots during make-up, detention sessions, or in the morning before the start of class. Failure to do so will result in the loss of driving privileges..

Expected Sportsmanship for Webb Athletes & Fans

In an effort to provide all students with a variety of positive experiences, Webb offers a full athletic program, including interscholastic competition in a number of sports. Because participants in and supporters of the athletic program represent Webb School to the public, the following guidelines are presented:

Webb students, parents, and faculty will:

• Respect the authority and judgment of coaches, captains, and administrators in game settings;

• Appreciate the responsibilities of officials and show respect for and accept their decisions;

• Be respectful and polite to opponents before, during, and after the contests;

• Commend good play and good sportsmanship, whether displayed by a teammate or by an opponent in both victory and defeat, at home or away;

• Cheers are expected to be positively directed toward Webb teams and players rather than negatively directed toward our opponents or their fans;

• Respect the property of school participants at home or away, and treat all facilities with care;

• Conduct themselves in such a manner that they will bring credit to themselves, their team, and their school.

Lunch Decorum

General rules are:

• Those who eat and those who serve are members of our community. Our respect and civility are required at all times.

• Everyone must help keep all food bars clean and clear his or her own table by returning plates, trash, and utensils to the dish room. Anyone who fails to do so may be assigned lunchroom clean-up duty.

• No one can bring food or drink from outside into the cafeteria without permission. If a student requires a special diet by the request of a physician or for any religious reason, the cafeteria staff will prepare that meal for the student. The kitchen is restricted to cafeteria staff. Dishes, utensils, and other cafeteria supplies must remain in the cafeteria.
