Students should check email and classroom announcements regularly for information about partner school early releases, activities, and graduation. CAFETERIA The cafeteria offers nutritious breakfast and lunches to students and staff each day school is in session. Lunch menus are published on the district’s website at www.EHOVE.net. In order to ensure that every student has a meal, once a student has three (3) meal charges they receive an alternate meal that meets National School Lunch Program guidelines at the same cost until their lunch account has been paid. No food or drink is to be taken out of the cafeteria or consumed in classrooms or labs. Menus follow nutritional guidelines established by the United States Department of Agriculture. These guidelines allow the school to keep breakfast and lunch costs low and provide eligible students with free or reduced cost lunches. Applications for the free and reduced meal program are available in the cafeteria, high school office, or at www.EHOVE.net. DISTRIBUTION OF MATERIALS School-sponsored flyers and promotional materials may only be posted with permission from the principal. ELECTRONIC SURVEILLANCE EHOVE Career Center uses electronic surveillance systems to monitor activity on school property and in school vehicles in an effort to protect the health, welfare, and safety of its students and staff and to maintain order and discipline on school property. Surveillance cameras may be used both inside and outside of buildings to assist in the security of students, staff and property. Cameras are not positioned in areas where individuals have a reasonable expectation of privacy. Electronic surveillance recordings may be used as evidence in any disciplinary proceedings, administrative proceedings or criminal proceedings, and may become part of a student’s education record, subject to Board rules, regulations, and policies and applicable law. FIELD TRIPS Students have the opportunity to participate in school-sponsored field trips.
