SCHOOL
BOOKSTORE AND LIBRARY
Prescott Central Middle School has a student bookstore
where supplies may be purchased. The bookstore will be open
each morning at 7:45 AM for students to purchase necessary items.
The bookstore is located near the main office. The library is
to provide an informative, comfortable atmosphere where curriculum
and personal needs are met. Books may be checked out for a two
week period and renewed once. Fifth graders are allowed to check
out one book while sixth graders may check out two. Students
are responsible for damaged or lost books.
VENDING MACHINE POLICY
Vending machines are located in different areas of the building
for student use before school, during classroom breaks, and
after school. There are a variety of drinks and snacks for a
student to choose. If a student loses money in a machine, he
or she must get a verification note from the teacher to take
to the office for reimbursement. Students caught damaging machines
or stealing products will be disciplined.
ACADEMIC
PROGRAMS
All students have four and one half hours of core curriculum
classes (English, math, social studies, science, spelling, and
reading) per day. Encore classes (computer science, art, music,
and library science) will also be offered as well as guidance,
physical education, band, and choir. Putnam County grading scale
used at Prescott is as follows:
A=100-95 B=94-85 C=84-75 D=74-70 F=69 & below
COMMUNICABLE DISEASE PROGRAM
Tennessee state law states that, "It shall be unlawful
for any child to attend any school or similar type facility
intended for the instruction of children either public or private,
unless they shall first have been vaccinated against those diseases
specified by the state health department." In order to
comply with the law, all Putnam County students must present
to the school of enrollment a certificate of compliance regarding
vaccination. Enforcement of this law will require removal of
students from school if they are not adequately immunized. Students
enrolling at Prescott Central Middle School from an out-of-state
school must present the immunization compliance certificate
at the time of enrollment. Students enrolling at Prescott Central
Middle School from a school within the state may be enrolled
on a tentative basis until cumulative records are received.
A student with a communicable disease shall remain at home until
the disease is no longer a danger to other students or school
personnel. The principal or her designee will report to the
Putnam County Health Department any cases which might pose a
threat to the health of the school or community.
RECEIVING GIFTS AT SCHOOL
The following guidelines are for gifts sent or delivered
to students on special occasions during the day. Deliveries
will be made to the office between 2:00-2:45 PM and clearly
marked with student's name, teacher, and grade.
