Handbook Section 3
Really Bad News
Note! If you miss excessive amounts of school, you may forfeit an entire semester's credit. Any student missing more than 10 days per semester is liable to loss of all class credit for the semester. The Roman saying applies here: Ignoratio legis neminem excusat. Which is to say, pleading ignorance of this will not excuse you.
Lost and Found
The Lost and Found Department is located in the main office. There you may turn in items you find or look for those you've lost. Books and clothing will be kept on or under the counter; valuables will be locked in the safe. You should write your name on all books, clothing, and other belongings which you might misplace.

Books
The library: a place for study, research, and discovery. All of which are pretty tough to accomplish if people aren't quiet there and if the resources aren't there. So do the right thing with regard to maintaining silence and getting your checked-out items back on time. It is theft, pure and simple, to take materials from the library without first checking them out. If you lose items which are the library's, you naturally will be expected to pay for what you have lost. If you wish to go to the library, you should request a library pass from one of your teachers. The best time to get a pass is to see the teacher before school begins.
Disabilities
If you have a documented learning disability and have need of tape recording any classes, you must first receive approval from the teacher prior to making a recording, and such approval must be sought and obtained for every class session which you plan to record. Speaking of introducing something new into the classroom, should you desire to bring a visitor into class, you are to have the visit okayed a day in advance with the principal.
Report Cards
Report cards are issued four times per year. The first three report cards will be distributed at school. The final report is mailed directly to the parent. Semester grades alone are those which determine if you have passed or failed. All semester failing marks must be made up in summer school. The failing grade on the report card is the only notice that you and your parents will receive that you must attend summer school.
Guidance
The counseling program is under the direction of a guidance officer who aids students in curriculum, college, and career choices, in scholarship opportunities, and in personal and social adjustment. A testing program which enables you to evaluate your background strengths and interests and preparedness for college is available to all students. Group counseling is administered especially to juniors and seniors regarding college preparation. You can also arrange for individual conferences by requesting such from the guidance counselor. Priests on the faculty are especially trained in the area of spiritual counseling.
