Spray School district

The Spray School district is a unified district; kindergarten through 12th grade. Spray High School has a strong academic and activities program for all students. Life in a small school means increased opportunities to learn and engage in athletics. Class size is 6 - 10 students, with elective classes having smaller numbers. In addition to core classes: calculus, physics, Spanish, photography, art and wood shop are offered. Students who qualify are able to earn an Oregon transfer degree by participating in our Early College program. All Spray graduates are eligible for the district's McQuinn scholarships. A high percentage of graduates pursue post-secondary programs. We have an athletic and activities program providing: football, volleyball, basketball, cross-country, track, Model UN, drama and yearbook. There is a place for every student to shine.

The Spray School district has the responsibility to provide an education for all its students – to equip each student with the basic skills, understanding and appreciation for living successfully in our society. The area of student conduct is one, which directly affects the total performance of the school. It is an area in which the student, parent or legal guardian, and school share responsibility.

The Spray School Board recognizes that the development of these qualities in its students is a vital part of
the educational process. Therefore, in order to develop such qualities, it is necessary for each student
and his/her parent or legal guardian to be aware of the rights and responsibilities of a student in the
Spray School District.

School rules exist to protect all of us but they especially protect the right of each student to an education
without disruption in a safe environment. By law the district has the authority and control over a student
during the regular school day, at any school-related activity regardless of the time or location, or while
being transported in district provided transportation. Because it must provide a proper climate for
learning, the school is concerned with the development of positive attitudes, habits, and behavior in its
students of self-discipline, responsibility and respect for other people and their property.

Students in grades 7 and 8 must have a parent note giving permission for the student to leave campus
during break or lunch. Students in grades 9 -12 are allowed to walk from campus during break and lunch
within the open campus boundaries. The boundaries are the Lone Elk store and Post Office. During break,
lunch and during the school day the football field, rodeo grounds, and road around the grounds are off
limits. High school students who live near the campus may walk home for lunch. Students not within the
boundaries are subject to discipline. Students are not allowed to go to the dorm during break, lunch or
during the school day.

No food or beverages, other than water may be brought into or consumed in the classroom. Classroom
social activities planned by the teacher are exceptions. Students are given permission, by a staff member to leave the classroom to use the restroom, go to the office or another classroom. Students are not allowed to leave the campus to go home or the dorm.

Being involved in any extracurricular activity makes you a highly visible representative of our school.
Therefore, the behavior of all participants at any time is very important. We expect a high level of
responsibility both in school and outside of school time. To ensure that this happens, all participants will
sign the Spray School District Athletic/Activities Participation Contract at the beginning of the season.
The contract will be in regard to the general conduct of the participant at all times, not just during school
or the activity itself. Failure to abide by this contract will result in revoking of privileges, suspension, or expulsion from that activity.
