St. John's will conform with the policy for Montgomery County Public Schools ONLY when school is to be CLOSED FOR THE DAY. St. John's will ALWAYS open one hour late at all other announced Montgomery County Public School delays. This means all students in Grades Pre-K to Grade 8 should be here at 9:00 A.M. Should Montgomery County Public Schools announce a closing before noon due to inclement weather, St. John's will dismiss at 12:30 P.M. In the event that inclement weather begins after 12:3 0, our school policy is to dismiss at the usual time - 2:55 P.M. St. John's will not dismiss for hot weather.

The school has a Hot Lunch Program every Wednesday. Children must bring their lunches on all other days.

Since children will eat their lunch in their respective classroom, we require respect and order during this period. In order to achieve this, the following rules apply:

1. Students must remain in their own seats during lunch; talk quietly; use appropriate manners while eating lunch.

2. In Grades 1, 2, and 3 the person in charge will collect the trash.

3. In Grades 4 - 8 one student is assigned to collect the trash.

4. In Grades 6, 7 and 8 use of the lavatory facilities will be determined by the homeroom teacher.

Non-adherence to these guidelines will result in the parents being called and requiring their presence at the next day's lunch period. In the event that parent cannot come, the student will be asked to remain home.

In the event that items should be lost or stolen, every effort will be put into recovering those items. The school, however, after making such effort, is not responsible for the replacement of these items.

Individual pictures of all children are taken annually. There is no obligation to purchase the pictures. If parents do not wish their children's pictures to be used in any school publication, please inform the school in writing in September. Uniforms are not required for the school picture.

Stationery and supplies may be purchased at school each morning from 8:05 to 8:30 A.M. Prices for each item are listed on the last page of the school calendar.

The Archdiocesan policies regarding student records are followed. Parents wishing access to these records must contact the school office to set up an appointment.

Furthermore, when copies of student records are requested to be sent to another school, there will be a fee of $6.50 for this service.

Emergency messages ONLY will be delivered by the office staff. Please do not call to leave messages after 2:30. Since the office phone must be kept free for in-coming calls, your child should use the pay phone in the hail. Permission slips are available from classroom teachers.

Students are not permitted to have cell phones in school.
