Accident Insurance
Students must be covered by private medical insurance or insurance
purchased through the school in order to participate in school-sponsored
activities. School insurance enrollment forms are available through the main
office. Completed forms and payment should be sent directly to the carrier.
Any student who wishes to file a claim for insurance is responsible for providing
a complete insurance claim form to Holly Price in a timely manner. Claim
forms are available in the main office. The Fulton County School system does
not provide student insurance of any kind; the school offers a service only-
insurance is between the student and carrier.
Bus Information
Students must ride assigned busses and board/debark at the
designated stop. Any exception to this rule must be requested in writing,
including phone numbers for verification, by a parent/guardian. Requests
for changes involving one or two days may be made in writing through the
attendance office prior to first period. Any changes spanning more than
two days must be approved in advance by the transportation department (North
Fulton: 770-667-2970, South Fulton: 770-969-6060).
Students are expected to conduct themselves properly while riding a school
bus. The bus driver has the same authority as a teacher in a classroom.
Students referred to the office for discipline violations that occur on
a bus are subject to losing the privilege of bus transportation in addition
to appropriate disciplinary actions.
Students riding a school bus that arrives after 8:20 am due to traffic
or mechanical failure will be admitted to class without penalty.
Food Court/Lunch Period
Northview offers breakfast and lunch including a la carte items
and a variety of beverages. Students may choose to bring their lunch and
purchase drinks and/or other items. The food court is operated for the
benefit of those who use it and suggestions for change, new menu items,
etc., are always welcomed. The school nutrition program operates under
the State Hot Lunch Division of the Georgia Department of Education.
Food and/or drinks are to be consumed only in the food court, commons,
or courtyard during the school day. Consumption of food and/or drink is
not permitted in any other areas of the building. After the school day
ends, students may consume food and/or drink in the concession and canopy
areas. (This rule does not apply to approved classroom or organization
activities.)
No student may cut, or allow others to cut, in food court lines.
Students are reminded that everyone is expected to pick up their own trash
in the food court and courtyard. Trays and utensils must be returned to
the proper area. There are no personnel available to “bus” tables! Failure
to fulfill this responsibility is considered as a disciplinary infraction.
Students arriving during lunch are not to bring “fast food” items into
the school. Parents also are to refrain from bringing “fast food” into
the building during school hours for consumption by students.
The food court, commons area, courtyard, media center, clinic, counseling
office, and main office are open for students during their lunch periods.
Students may eat lunch in the courtyard if they wish. All other areas of
the building and campus are off limits during the lunch periods. Students
are not to be in the academic halls during their lunch period.
Care
of the Building
The Northview facility is one of the finest in the nation. Students
are expected to support and cooperate with the custodians regarding care
of the building. Open containers of food or drink should only be present
in the food court or courtyard. Pride is to be taken in keeping the building
and grounds ready for inspection at all times. Trash cans have been placed
in the corridors for student use. Hands On Northview are workdays held in
the fall and spring that bring together students, parents, and community
members for the common purpose of making Northview a better school through
improvements to the school grounds.
Change of Address or Phone Number
The Main 0ffice should be informed immediately, in writing, if a student changes his/her address and/or phone number. This is essential in order for school information and grade reports to reach the student’s home in a timely manner. Failure to provide current phone numbers could create a life threatening situation for the student in the event emergency medical treatment is needed. It is very important that a current parent email address be provided to the school. When changing address of residence, two pieces of approved documentation must be presented.
Clinic
The clinic is staffed during school hours and is located adjacent to the Attendance Office. A student who becomes ill during the school day should obtain a written pass from his/her teacher then report to the clinic. All prescription medication, along with signed parental consent forms, must be left with the clinic during the school day. Please notify the clinic of any life threatening conditions such as, but not limited to, food allergies or chronic health problems that may require emergency assistance from trained medical personnel.
