 Inclement Weather

•  Please be aware that MCPS occasionally has late openings or early dismissals due to inclement weather or unusual emergencies.  
•  These weather related decisions are made by the MCPS Central Office and not by SBHS.   
•  When school emergencies occur, the information is broadcast over local radio and television stations, as well as the MCPS website, within minutes of any decisions being made. 

Lockers/Security

• Locker assignments will be given during the first week of  school to students who return the emergency information form.

•  Anything found in the locker belongs to the student to whom the locker was assigned. 

•  If students choose to bring personal electronic devices or other valuables to school they assume full responsibility for these items. 

•  In addition, students are solely responsible for securing their belongings in a safe place.  The school is not responsible for lost or stolen electronic devices. We prohibit students from sharing lockers with anyone else.   

Lunch

• The lunch period is a “closed” lunch program, therefore, students must remain on campus.
• Students can not order food to be delivered. Food delivered to the school will be confiscated until the end of the day
