Students will only receive one set of textbooks. If medical issues require that a set of textbooks be kept at
home, the school-issued set of textbooks will remain at home and a classroom textbook will be provided to
the student for use while in class.

Requests to borrow textbooks over the summer must go through the school office. Parents must sign out
these textbooks and return them by the beginning of August.

TIPS HOTLINE
Tips concerning threats to the safety of the school and
any of its members may be made by calling 724-449-
TIPS (8477). All calls to the TIPS Hotline are
confidential. The state of Pennsylvania has instituted
the Safe 2 Say Something anonymous reporting system,
which is accessible via app, phone, or internet. The phone number is 1-844-5-SAYNOW, or you can visit
saysomething.net to report anonymously.

VENDING MACHINES
Snack and beverage machines are located in the hall beside the auditorium. Vending machines are accessible
only after dismissal. Students requiring a snack after school must have their own change. The office does
not have change for the vending machines.

VISITORS
When visiting the middle school during regular school hours, parents or other school visitors must press the
intercom button to the left of the front doors and identify themselves to gain entry into the school. Once
inside, visitors must enter the interior door to the left and report directly to the main office. If going beyond
the office into other areas of the building, visitors must present a valid driver’s license to the office, which
will be scanned into our Raptor system and a visitor’s badge issued to be worn at all times while in the
building. Visitors must also sign out when leaving the building by scanning their visitor’s badge at the Raptor
kiosk in the office. School personnel will meet their visitors in the office and escort them to their destination.
Please note that we do not honor individual student requests to bring visitors from other schools or out-of-
town friends or relatives during the regular school day.
