Personal Belongings

Care of Personal Property

The school is not responsible for the loss or damage of personal property. Students are advised to leave items of value at home and not share their locker combinations. 

Lost & Found

Students are advised to check in the office for any items that may have been turned in. Items not claimed by the end of the school year will be donated.

Personal Electronic Devices

Our school has rules that addresses the appropriate use of electronic devices at school. 

Backpacks

Student backpacks should be kept in lockers.

Valuables

Students are discouraged from bringing valuable items to school. Unfortunately, over the years, items have been stolen from lockers, the locker room, from the hallway and even from classrooms. As much as we would like to have a perfectly safe environment, thefts do occur. We do our best to solve thefts, but sometimes there is no resolution. The school will not be held responsible for lost or damaged property. We advise students riding bicycles to school to use the bike racks and a sturdy lock.

Prohibited Items

These include: lighters, matches, knives, laser pointers, drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, e-cigarettes, drug paraphernalia, and any item that could be considered a weapon or is being used as a weapon including bb guns, and ‘airsoft’ pellet guns.   Possession of these items could result in suspension and possible expulsion. 

The use of skateboards and rollerblades on CBE property is prohibited. If a student uses one of those items as a method of transportation, they need to store them in the office – not their locker.

Bicycles 

We certainly encourage active living practices with children such as riding a bicycle to school. Upon arrival at the school and for the safety of all students, cyclists are expected to walk bicycles on school grounds during school hours. When bicycles are brought to school they should be locked in the bicycle rack provided. The school cannot be responsible for bicycles damaged or stolen while they are at school.
