School Publications
The school-produced publications are:
➢ Plum Hi-Lites:​ This newspaper is published several times during the course of the school year.
➢ Criterion:​ The school yearbook is similar to a university edition in size and content. The yearbook covers the entire school year, and is distributed at the end of the school year. In recent years there have been a number of court rulings dealing with school publications, and Plum governs its publications by the established rulings and guidelines of the courts. Publication sponsors will closely monitor the appropriateness of submitted material under guidelines of the courts and policy of the School District.
Student Pictures
Yearbook pictures for grades 9, 10, and 11 will be taken yearly. Information will be sent home with students.
Student Visitors
Conditions do not lend themselves to general issuance of student visitor passes. In special cases, a student visitor’s permit may be obtained from the office of the principal. Requests for a visitor’s permit must be processed at least one week prior to the visitation date.

Working Papers
All students who are seeking employment are required to have an Employment Certificate. The student can obtain an application for working papers at the attendance office. When returning the application to the attendance office, the application must be signed by a parent, guardian, or custodian and must be accompanied by a birth certificate, Baptismal Certificate, or other documentary evidence of date of birth. At that time, the student will be issued a work permit and must sign it with the issuing officer as a witness. The parent, guardian, or custodian need not be present at the time the certificate is issued. For more information click this link for ​Work Permits​ on the district website.
