Lunch Guests Family and Alumni are welcome during lunchtime to visit and eat with TPCS students. All guests must observe the same rules as the students and staff, including the dress code. They also must abide by rules for visitors and register at the front office. A guest may be asked to leave or denied entrance if they do not comply with these guidelines.

Lockers Lockers are the property of Traders Point Christian Schools and are issued to each student for the convenience of the individual to help him/her to protect his/her personal property and books. Students are expected to use ONLY their assigned locker, keep them organized, and must not share them with other students or claim additional lockers for storage. The administration reserves the right to check lockers periodically for security purposes. If a student wants to bring in a combo lock, they will need to give the combination to the Dean of Students.

Restroom/Locker Room Use Students will utilize gender-specific restrooms and locker facilities based on their gender identified on their birth certificates. Any violation of this policy is grounds for disciplinary referral.

A written statement of the child's immunization records by a physician shall be turned into the office no later than October 1.

New immunization records need to be completed as students enroll in early childhood classes, kindergarten, and sixth grades or if the student is new/transferred into any grade.
