TEXTBOOKS AND EQUIPMENT

Each student is responsible for all books and equipment issued. If books are equipment are lost, stolen, or damaged, the student must pay the full replacement cost of the item(s). Obligations still outstanding at the end of the senior year may result in the withholding of a student's diploma and/or the privilege of participating in graduation exercises. Seniors must clear all obligations prior to graduation.

PARKING PASS

Each student will be allowed to purchase one pass for the school year. Students must provide proof of driver's license and vehicle registration along with their application. Passes can be transferred from one vehicle to another, provided the vehicle is owned by a family member and it has been registered with the vice principal prior to any transferring.

Students are to park only in the designated student parking lot. Students must observe all traffic rules:

• Speed limit on campus is 5 mph.
• No parking along the front driveway, in staff parking lots, handicapped parking stalls, and along the gym service road.
• Vehicles must be parked within the parked stalls in the direction of the traffic to prevent accidents. Drivers must obey the traffic routing in the parking lot, especially the one way traffic flow patterns.
• Students are not to loiter in their cars upon arriving to campus. The parking lot is an out of bounds area during the school day to ensure that cars are not vandalized.
• Student parking lot will be secured and locked each day at 5:30 PM. Vehicles left in the parking lot will be locked in until the next workday and will be considered as unauthorized unless administration is notified.

CHAPTER 8-57: Restitution for Damaged and Lost Books, Equipment, Supplies and Outstanding Financial Obligation

This rule holds students accountable for lost and damaged textbooks, library books, equipment, supplies, and financial obligations. Chapter 8-57 defines consequences for students with outstanding financial obligations to make timely restitution. In addition to any penalties that may be imposed, a student who fails to make restitution under this rule, shall be prohibited in participating in any student activity. These activities include, but are not limited to athletics, academic clubs, service clubs, hobby clubs, proms, class banquets, May Day, and other organized festivals/celebrations for which no academic credit is received. This means that seniors will not be allowed to participate in graduation ceremonies, and underclassmen will not be able to participate in any student activity for the next school year if their obligations are not met.

SCHEDULE CHANGES

The Maui High School master schedule is based on student requests from registration forms. The number and types of classes scheduled are based on the number of first choice requests. It may be difficult to change classes because many courses will be filled and closed. The only types of program course/changes that will be considered are:

1. Duplication of courses
2. Homogeneous grouping changes
3. Graduation requirements
4. Incomplete schedules
5. Summer school course completion
6. Failure of a course
7. Early admissions / Off campus requests

Important: When selecting your courses, fill in all open course slots on your registration cards. Pick courses carefully, because the alternate choices you make may be classes you will be assigned and you may not be able to change courses next year.
