VIDEO SURVEILLANCE

A video monitoring system may be used on school buses and a video monitoring system may be used in public areas of the school

building. These systems have been put in place to protect students, staff, visitors, and school property. If a discipline problem is

captured on videotape, that recording may be used as the basis for imposing student discipline. If criminal conduct is recorded, law

enforcement personnel may view the footage. Videos may not be released or seen without administrative permission.

VISITORS/UNAUTHORIZED PERSONS

Visitors, especially parents and guardians, are welcome at the school. VISITORS AND VOLUNTEERS WILL BE REQUIRED TO

BRING IN A STATE ID THAT WILL BE DIGITALLY SCANNED TO CREATE VISITOR PASSES. If a person wishes to confer with

a member of the staff, they should call for an appointment prior to coming to the school, to schedule a mutually convenient time. An

unauthorized person is one found in the building without a visitor pass, who does not have lawful business to pursue, or who acts in

a manner that disturbs the normal education function of the school. The school administration has the right to seek the immediate

removal of unauthorized persons from the school property. This includes students who are under suspension or expulsion.

VOLUNTEERS

All school volunteers must complete a “Volunteer Waiver Form” on a yearly basis. Volunteers of the Woodhaven-Brownstown

School District will undergo a search via ICHAT (Internet Criminal History Access Tool) or other database prior to be allowed to

participate in any activity or program. Any individual who volunteers and has access to students on a regular and continuous basis

in the schools or on any school sponsored overnight activity shall submit to a criminal history record check through Live Scan

Fingerprinting prior to being allowed to participate in any activity or program.

DRESS GUIDELINES

DRESS CODE: The style and manner in which a student dresses while they attend school shall be the responsibility of their

parents. The district, however, maintains the right to impose reasonable restrictions on dress for the following reasons:

1. If the style of dress or grooming is disruptive to the educational process.

2. If the style of dress or grooming is detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of the student

or other students with whom they attend school.

3. If the dress is of a type which may cause physical damage to school premises

Any apparel, jewelry, accessories, notebooks or grooming which by virtue of color arrangement, trademark, logo, symbol, or slogan

denotes membership in gangs, promotes or is interpreted as hate speech, or advocates drug, alcohol, or tobacco use, violence,

disruptive behavior, vulgarity/profanity, or contains sexual connotation are prohibited. Any apparel deemed inappropriate by school

standards or which endangers the health, safety, or welfare of students or staff is prohibited. The determination of appropriateness

of attire will be made by the school administration.
