    DANCE CONDUCT: Students attending Yelm High School dances must be currently enrolled and attending Yelm High School. Former students of Yelm High School and guests under 21 years of age will not be allowed admittance to the formal dances unless they are pre-approved by the principal or designee and are the guest of a current YHS student. Each Yelm High School student will be allowed only one guest per formal dance. All students must show their Student Identification Card in order to be admitted to the dance. Once students are admitted into the dance, they will not be allowed to leave and come back. Once students leave the dance, they must leave campus. No loitering will be allowed outside the building or in the parking lot. The faculty advisor of the group sponsoring the dance will be responsible for arranging supervision of the dance. Students are expected to follow the directions of the adults in charge. All YHS school rules apply. If there are questions or problems with students, the chaperones will bring this to the attention of the supervising administrator.

Lockers (PE)

  • PE Lockers are school property and may be inspected periodically as a general inspection of school property (RCW 28A.600.220). Lockers may also be searched when there is reasonable suspicion of inappropriate contents.

    If a locker does not operate correctly, please notify the PE teacher. School personnel will retain a master key for all lockers. Combinations will not be changed during the school year. Money, purses, or other valuable items should not be left in lockers.

    LOST OR STOLEN ITEMS: THE SCHOOL ACCEPTS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOST OR STOLEN ITEMS. Any student who damages or defaces a locker will be subject to disciplinary action and will be liable for the cost of repairs. Locks are not to be brought from home and used at school. The privilege of using lockers may be revoked for sufficient cause.

Parking

  • PARKING: Parking in student lots is a privilege and requires each vehicle to be registered with the school and to appropriately display the approved parking decal. In order to receive a Parking Permit, please obtain an application information from the Main Office. Unregistered vehicles, vehicles inappropriately or illegally parked, or vehicles creating a safety hazard will receive a parking violation notice and may be subject to impounding/ towing at owner’s expense. Violators may lose driving privileges for the remainder of the year.

    A search of a motor vehicle may be made based on reasonable suspicion when related to a possible school violation.

    Under no circumstances may a student park in visitor or staff parking. Students parking in those areas are subject to total loss of parking privileges on campus.

    Adjacent city streets are considered an extension of the school parking lot and campus and are therefore subject to the Search and Seizure Policy when related to a possible school violation as stated in this handbook.

Sign and Bulletin Boards

  • SIGNS AND BULLETIN BOARDS: Material placed on the bulletin boards or any signs put up in the building must have prior administrative approval.
