general student information

 
 
 


TECHNOLOGY

PHS is a Digital High School and therefore, every classroom is wired for Internet access.  Mobile units of laptops are available for classroom use.  In addition computers are available in the library and Career Center for students to use for word processing or research. 


TELEPHONE CALLS/DELIVERIES FOR STUDENTS

Paramount High School has a very large student body which makes it impossible to accept telephone calls (including leaving messages) and deliveries for students.  In case of an emergency, an administrator will make the final decision.


NOTE:    Paramount High School will not accept items to be given or delivered to students.  This includes, but not limited to, messages, money, house keys, PE clothes, class assignments, books and supplies, or projects. The office staff has been directed not to interrupt class instruction except for cases of emergency.  If parents insist on leaving items it will be at their own risk; however, their student will not be notified.


UNIFORM COMPLAINT PROCEDURES

All complaints are to be filed in the Counseling Office. 


VISITORS

The school policy is to accept only those visitors on the campus who have legitimate business to attend to at school.  All visitors must sign in at the front gate before entering campus.  Visitors will be directed to the Principal’s Office immediately upon entering the school campus.  Trespassers are subject to arrest.  Paramount High School is a closed campus, and alumni are not permitted to visit during school hours.


WORK PERMITS

All students working must have a work permit on file at their place of employment and on file at school.   In order to qualify for a work permit students must be at least 16 years of age and approved by their assigned counselor.    Work permit applications can be picked up during lunch and after school in the ROP office.  The work permit will be available to the student one day after turning in the application.
