Community rules (short form)
Rainshadow Community Guidelines
The first and most important rule in establishing a healthy community is respect. Disrespect of any kind is not acceptable and will not be tolerated.
Details of all rules and consequences are found in the Student Handbook, which is online at this website. The following are general categories that we are concerned with:
Interfering with the safety of others
Violating the learning process of others
Jeopardizing the future of Rainshadow
Insubordination to those authorized to enforce the code
Appropriate Student Conduct (includes, but is not limited to):
-
Treat others with respect.
-
Follow all classroom rules.
-
Do assigned classroom work.
-
Support your school community.
-
Walk in the building.
-
Keep your hands, feet, and other objects to yourself.
-
Show appreciation for, and be courteous to, all groups/guests presenting programs or participating in athletic events in our school.
-
Treat the building and grounds with respect.
Smoking
It is a violation of Nevada State Law and Rainshadow rules to smoke on school property.
Dress Code for Students
Your dress is a reflection of who you are. The following clothing choices are NOT acceptable:
-
Bare-midriffs, skin needs to be covered. Mini-skirts and short shorts are not acceptable.
-
Any clothing, bandanas, gloves, accessory or symbolic apparel believed to be affiliated with gangs.

Any clothing that refers to obscenities, pornography, violence, alcohol, drugs and/or contain unacceptable language or images.
-
Underwear is under wear, please keep it covered.
-
Sagging or tight pants that show underwear.
-
Sunglasses, unless verifiable medical reasons exist, i.e. prescription.
-
Hooded sweatshirts are allowed as long as the hood is down inside the school.
Dismissing Students:
The teacher, not the clock, dismisses class. In the interest of campus management and uniformity, students are not to be dismissed from class prior to the end of the period.
Bicycles and Skate Boards:
Bicycles must be locked up outside in the rack provided; students must provide their own lock. Skate Boards are not allowed in the building; please leave them at home. Any skate boards brought to school will be locked up for the day through the front office.
Food and Drinks:
Students may bring clear water bottles, with water only, into class, but away from computers. Any edible material will be consumed in the designated eating areas only at assigned times.
Cellular Phones and Pagers:
Students may not have cell phones or pagers on or visible during class times unless working as assigned by teacher.
MP3 Players, iPods, or other Music Players:
Music players may be used at breaks, lunch or as assigned by teacher. Earphones need to be out of ears in class during any discussion, instruction or other classroom activity that requires hearing.
Valuables at School:
Purses, wallets, money, phones, iPods or other valuables are your responsibility.
Passes:
When a student leaves the classroom, he/she is to sign out and have a pass. Students’ time will be monitored when out of class on a pass. No more than one student will be allowed out on a pass at a time from each class.
Front Door and Phone:
Students need to enter the building through the main entrance only. All other exit doors in the building are to be used as emergency exits only.
Students may use the front office phone with permission from Rainshadow staff for parent/guardian contact only. Excessive use or abuse of the phone may result in loss of
phone privileges.
Student Vehicles:
All students must register their vehicles with the front office and obtain a parking permit sticker. Students must present registration, valid driver's license and proof of insurance. Parking in unauthorized places may lead to vehicle towing at owners expense.
Visitors and Guests:
All visitors to Rainshadow must check with and sign in at the main office. All visits must be arranged in advance with the administration.
Conclusion:
Schools need not tolerate dress, speech, or any actions that impede the educational process of others, even though the government may not censor similar items outside the school.
