Not many students actually read our rules, so I’ve curated a list of them that every high schooler should have memorized.

First of all, have you ever brought an aspirin to school? What about an Advil? An inhaler? An EpiPen?

Guess what? That’s illegal, according to the handbook! Yep, any “prescriptive or over-the-counter medication” that isn’t checked in to the office is plain illegal. Just try not to go into anaphylactic shock.

Texting in class, by the way, isn’t allowed either, which probably shouldn’t surprise you. What might surprise you, though, is that the rule against texting doesn’t say anything about being in class. It just says that texting “not directly related to instruction” isn’t allowed, period.

You’re lucky to still have a phone, though, because if you so much as pull out your phone while you’re in the bathroom or locker room, you’re liable to have it “confiscated immediately”!

You’ve also pledged to “refrain from using toys, Walkmans, skateboards, skates, bicycles, and other personal play equipment while on campus.”

You might read this and wonder: “What’s a Walkman?” Good question! It’s a brand of portable music players that has been long discontinued. They were all the rage in the ‘90s, though!

If, though, you decide to listen to your peers instead of your Walkman, you’ve definitely heard your fair share of profanity. Listening closely during lunchtime or math class, you’ll hear words that would make your grandma faint — or maybe words you’d like your grandma to stop yelling out at Thanksgiving dinner. Unfortunately, though, engaging in “profanity or vulgarity” is grounds for suspension.

You might think that this rule is about yelling out your favorite word during your least favorite teacher’s lecture, or insulting that teacher when she disapproves. Those actions, though, are covered by different rules. This one’s just about words — words that even some teachers will use liberally.

Oh, you also probably didn’t know that unless they specifically say so, school rules don’t only apply in class. These rules apply during lunch and other breaks, on your way to or from school and at school-sponsored activities.

Next time, think twice about cursing in the car.
