Gatewood seeks to provide a safe and drug-free campus for our students. Accordingly, all areas of the campus, vehicles, and personal property are subject to search by the Gatewood administrators at any time. These areas of the campus include, but are not limited to classrooms, offices, locker rooms, student lockers, parking areas, and personally owned vehicles. The administration may authorize law enforcement officials to search any areas on campus as necessary. Periodically to ensure compliance by all at Gatewood Schools, law enforcement will be invited to visit campus with canine units. Administration will follow the law and offer full cooperation should illegal items be found. Prohibited Area Certain areas are considered off limits unless supervised by a faculty member: football bleachers, press box, weight rooms, parking lots, locker rooms, faculty lounges, copy rooms, storage rooms, athletic offices, and construction zones. The lower school is off limits to middle and high school students not scheduled for classes there, except for assemblies and by special permission. Lost and Found All clothing should be clearly marked with the student’s name. Found items are placed in the lost and found locker located in the lower school building and in the gym supply closet. Items that are not picked up within a reasonable time may be donated to a charitable organization. Change of Address Please notify the school’s main office of any change in address, email, or phone numbers during the school year. Fund Raising Under no circumstances will students or parents be allowed to sell items on campus unless the fund-raiser is sponsored by the school or a school-related organization and approved by the Director of Development.
