A message from Mr. Belill

This year we will be putting into place field trip guidelines in order to reward students for good behaviors throughout the school year. Any student with 2 major discipline referrals will not be permitted to attend any field trip throughout the school year. Examples of major referrals would be fighting, possession of an illegal substance, disrespect, etc. Any student with 5 minor discipline referrals will not be permitted to attend any field trip with the discretion of an administrator. An example of a minor referral would be tardies, technology misuse, minor disrespect, etc.

We will also begin running athletic eligibility weekly starting this Thursday, September 7th. Any student athlete with 2 E's will be automatically ineligible, meaning they cannot play or practice until their grades are up to passing. Any student athlete with 1 E will be placed on a one week probationary period. If that grade is not up the following week to passing, they will be ineligible to play or practice.

Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions to me at lbelill@lindenschools.org. Thank you and let's have a great year!
