Drug Free Schools Policy

NOTICE TO PARENTS AND STUDENTS

Federal law requires that the Eatonville School District notify students and parents about our School Board and District policy and procedure regarding the use and possession of controlled substances. The policy:

• Students are prohibited from unlawfully manufacturing, distributing, dispensing, possessing or using any narcotic drug, hallucinogenic drug, amphetamine, barbiturate, marijuana, tobacco, or any other controlled substance or alcohol on or in the school premises, or at school sponsored or approved activities. Any student who does, will violate this policy.
• The use of such drugs is illegal, wrong and harmful. Alcohol, controlled substances or dangerous drugs and any other chemicals effect normal physical, social, emotional growth, well being and academic performance of our students, their families and our community. The District has a list of caring resources available to students and families regarding referral, treatment, and aftercare services.
• A student who violates the District's drug free policy must be disciplined in accordance with the provisions of local, state, and federal law and board policy. Discipline may include expulsion, referral for criminal prosecution and/or a requirement that the offending student successfully complete an appropriate rehabilitation program.

If you have any questions concerning your school's drug free policy, or would like the list of support resources please call your school's principal immediately.

Sincerely,

Raymond F. Arment, III
Superintendent
