Agenda Book

Lilian Schick School uses an organizer called our "Agenda Book". We use it to help students take responsibility for their organization and study habits, as well as communicating daily with parents.

Lilian Schick students are expected to have this agenda book with them each day, have it signed before leaving the school by their homeroom teacher(s), and have it signed by a parent or guardian each night.

This book is a vital tool in keeping parents aware of the events happening at our school, as well as the daily academic progress of students.

Some Areas of Information to note are:

Code of Conduct
The purpose of discipline at Lilian Schick School is to foster and encourage an atmosphere that is conducive to learning, a place where each staff member and each student feels welcome and safe.  Everyone in the school has the right to be treated with courtesy and respect.  The Policy applies to school, at school related activities and on the bus.

School Property
Students are responsible for the care of books, desks, lockers and other school equipment assigned to them.  Students who damage or lose school property will pay for the cost of repair or replacement.

Personal Property
Expensive electronic items not required for school work should be kept at home.  Cell phones are not allowed at school.  The use of CD players, iPods and similar devices are only allowed at the discretion of individual teachers and only for specific educational purposes.  The school will not be responsible for loss or damage to any of these devices.

Dress Code
Student dress should never distract from school activities or be a hazard to the student's safety or the safety of others.  For our students, school is their "work" place, and we encourage them to dress accordingly.  Therefore, the following kinds of clothing are not permitted:

1.  No inappropriate language, graphics or slogans on clothing or backpacks.  ie: profane language, drug or alcohol related material.
2.  No clothing that is unsuitably revealing.  ie: no spaghetti strapped t-shirts, backless or belly t-shirts, or very short shorts.
3.  No hats, hoods, or toques of any type are to be worn in the school building.

Students who do not comply with these standards will be asked to turn in appropriate language/slogan t-shirts inside out and not wear them to school again.  In the case of revealing slothing, students will be asked to "add a layer" or change their clothing.  A supply of extra t-shirts will be available in the office.  Staff will ask students to remove any hats that are worn.  This dress code applies to all students, grades 5 to 9, and will be strictly monitored.

Drugs/Smoking/Alcohol
Smoking is not permitted on the school grounds or at any school sponsored activity.  Students who violate the rules regarding smoking or who are found in possession of or under the influence of drugs or alcohol face immediate suspension and/or expulsionl.

The agenda company also has a website with resources and free activities to support parents and students. Feel free to visit their website and check it out!
