Parking Permits

For a parking permit visit the WOHS attendance office where student will need to provide their driver’s license, insurance with their name, and vehicle registration. Students should not be driving to school without a valid driver license, vehicle registration, or insurance under their name. All student-driven cars need to have their documents on file with the main office.

Student Parking Policy

Student Lot - This lot is located at the east end of campus towards Lobo Lane. Each car must have a valid parking permit which is provided at the Student Attendance Office. Cars parked in the student lot without a permit may be CITED and/or towed at the owners’ expense. Students are to park in the designated area only and not in more than one stall. Violations may result in citations by the Hacienda La Puente School Police Department.

This parking lot is a restricted area and is considered off limits during the school day this includes lunch.

Students are not to use their car as a locker for books, etc. If a student needs to go to his/her car during the school day - he/she must have permission from the Discipline Office. Students are not allowed to park in the faculty parking lot at any time during the school day.

The parking lot is regularly patrolled by school personnel and by the Hacienda La Puente School District Police Department. For the safety of students and staff, cars parked on campus may be subject to search. Even though every effort is made to minimize thefts and damage to parked cars, parking is done at your own risk. Neither the school district nor its employees are liable for any theft or damage to parked vehicles.

FAQ- Frequently Asked Questions

Work Permit FAQs-

(Frequently Asked Questions)

Do I need a work permit if I am working for my parents/family business?

Are work permits required during the summer?

Yes. Labor and education codes apply during all seasons and times of year, even during summer months and/or school breaks.

May I have more than one work permit?

Yes. A minor may work concurrently for more than one employer and, therefore, have more than one valid work permit. But, regardless of the number of employers and work permits, the total number of hours worked may not exceed the total number of hours allowed.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

DID YOU KNOW?

Your books are checked out to you by bar-code numbers. They may be located inside the textbook or on the outside of the smaller materials. It is a good idea to write down the barcode numbers when you get your books and keep the list in a safe place. This will help when books get mixed up, you will have a way of knowing which book is truly yours. THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM ON CAMPUS IS ACCIDENTAL BOOK EXCHANGES.

DID YOU KNOW?

If you do not have a bar-code on your book we have no way of knowing who the book actually belongs to, therefore we have to charge full book price. Please bring back the book if the barcode looks like it could come off the material.

DID YOU KNOW?

You have a two-week window to bring your books back to the Media Center and get any damages noted in the book that were not already recorded. This will eliminate any problems you may have when trying to return the book with damages. We count on YOU to check the books thoroughly; this is why we encourage you to go through them at home. Look for water damage, ink, dirt, white out, high-lighter markings, torn or missing pages. We need you to bring your books back to us in the Media Center to note the extra damages you find.

DID YOU KNOW?

You should NEVER leave your books in the classroom. If a teacher allows this procedure, the teacher is not responsible for the book, you are. We recommend you do not leave books in the class, but rather carry them back and forth. This way the book cannot be stolen or damaged. Do not rely on teachers or other students to return your books.

DID YOU KNOW?

Lockers are only meant for P.E. class. YOU are responsible for that damage should it occur. Do not leave your books in lockers overnight. Also, do not share your locker. This is a big cause of books being mixed up or taken by accident. Your locker is for your use only with a doctor’s note. Letting your friend share your locker may cost you in the long run!

IF YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ABOUT TEXTBOOKS AND/ OR LIBRARY BOOKS, COME IN AND SEE US ANYTIME.

Internet Use

Textbook Policy

Unpaid books

You may not purchase any tickets to games/dances/shows.

Diploma/Transcripst/Graduation tickets will be held until paid in full.

Workman High School has a computerized textbook program to help keep track of Textbooks and all other materials that are checked out to each individual student. It stays attached to that student until the books are returned to the Textbook Center at the end of each year. In order to check out textbooks or library books, students MUST have their ID card.

STUDENTS ARE TO RETURN THEIR BOOKS TO THE TEXTBOOK CENTER AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE COURSE AND/ OR SCHOOL YEAR. Returned books are credited to the student who originally checked them out. If a lost or stolen book has already been paid for and then found, a refund will be given with a receipt of payment.

GUIDELINES

All textbooks are REQUIRED to be covered and have the students name written in the front, inside cover on the day they receive them. This will help minimize any damages and/or lost books. You can use grocery store paper bags to cover them, these work best! (No stretchy covers please, as these ruin the binding of the book)
Books stolen from school should be reported to the Student Service Office right away. Students are still financially responsible for all lost/damaged/stolen books. Books should NOT be left overnight, weekends, and/or holidays per signed P.E. locker agreement. These lockers are not sealed and during rainy seasons, the interior of the lockers can become wet. If a book gets water damaged and /or mildewed, it should be returned to the Textbook Center so damages may be assessed.
Once the book is checked out, the student is responsible to check for damages. Return books right away if you find any damages not marked. If you wait until the end of the semester and/or school year, you can be charged for the damages found.

Prevention

Immunizations and Vaccines

No shot? No Record? No School.

State law requires that all students under age 18 years, TK through grade 12, be immunized against certain diseases unless they are exempt for medical reasons. At the time of registration, the school is required to have proof that your child has received all currently due immunizations. Check with your pediatrician, family physician or medical clinic to make sure your child is fully immunized. Your child may be excluded from attending school if these requirements are not met. Click this link to see a table which explains what immunizations are due at what age.

Visit California Department of Public Health for more information on immunization requirements.

Medication at School Guidelines

The California Education Code states that any student who is required to take medication prescribed by a physician during the regular school day, may be assisted by the school nurse or other designated school personnel if the district receives:

a written statement from the physician detailing the method, amount and time schedules that the medication is to be taken and
a written statement from the student’s parent/guardian authorizing the school district to administer the medication. (E.C. 49422, 49423)

Please do not send your child to school with medication in their backpack to take on their own.

Medication Forms

If your child requires medication during school hours, please take the authorization medication form to your child’s doctor for completion. The form must be completed by a California physician, surgeon, or physician’s assistant. Orders from doctors practicing outside California will not be accepted. Medication cannot be administered by the nurse or school staff until this form is completed and delivered to the school site.

What to do if your child needs medication at school but you do not have the medication form completed?

If the form has not been completed and the child must receive medication at school, the parent or designee may come onto campus to administer the medication directly to the child.

Delivering Medication to the School Site

Deliver medication to the health office in its original pharmacy container with the original pharmacy label adhered to the container. Over the counter medications must be delivered in the original sealed bottle. The information on the pill bottle must match the orders written by the doctor on the medication form. The strength of the medication delivered must match the strength of the medication prescribed by the doctor (mg, mcg, etc.) Prescribed medication must be in the student’s name.

In the case of prescribed medications, students may carry these medications on their person or in their backpacks if the doctor has completed the medication form and has designated “child trained to self-administer”. If these medications are found on your student during a random sweep, records in the health office will be checked to make sure the medication is prescribed, and the medication form is current and up to date.

Please inform the nurse at your child’s school of any prescribed medications your child is taking regularly at home, along with the current dosage, and the name of the supervising physician who prescribed the medication. Update the school nurse if these medications are changed, discontinued, or if additional medications are prescribed during the school year.

Mandated hearing and Vision screening

California law (EC 49452, EC 49454, 17 CCR 2951) and district policy (BP 5141.3) require all students in 10^th/11th grades (hearing only) as well as students upon first enrollment in a California public school shall receive vision and hearing screenings performed by the school Nurse or other authorized person during the school year.

If there is an abnormal finding, parents will be notified by letter. Please contact the school Nurse if you have any concerns regarding your child and the screening process.

The Health Office assists a student with health issues, including illness, injury, medications, and medical conditions.

Health Office Procedures: While at school, all illness/injuries checkout through the Health Office. If the student needs to be seen in the Health Office, he or she will first inform their teacher and receive a “pass”. All students seen in the Health Office are required to sign-in and standard triage practices are used to prioritize student needs.

*Cell phone use is not allowed between student and parent.

If a student is not feeling well, he or she must come to the Health Office and the health clerk or school nurse will notify the parent. If your child needs to go home, a parent and/or guardian will need to come to the Health Office.

All other absences/appointments go through attendance office. If a student has a doctor’s note excusing them from his or her absence, a copy should be given to the Attendance Office as well as the Health Office.

Other Important Information:

Injuries: If your child is injured and has a doctor’s note, a copy needs to be given to the Health Office. If your child requires medical equipment for his or her injury, such as crutches, wheelchair, etc., the student needs to come to the Health Office for clearance of the equipment.

Medication: All medications on campus (that includes, over-the-counter/non-prescription and prescription) need to be documented and kept in the Health Office. A medication form needs to be filled-out by your child’s physician and the parent and/or guardian. The medication form is available in the Health Office.

If your child is requesting to carry his or her medication (for asthma inhaler and Epi-Pen use only), an additional form is required. Please see health clerk for more information.

Individualized Healthcare Plan (IHP): The Individualized Healthcare Plan is a written document by the school nurse that contains confidential health information, special medical procedures, and/or treatments regarding a student’s specific healthcare needs during his or her attendance at school.
