If a student is absent from school and no call has been received by 8:30 a.m., every effort will be made by the attendance office to contact parents/guardians by phone.

Backpacks
Royal Palm is a no backpack campus.
Backpacks, book bags, shoe bags, sacks and purses used as book bags are not to be carried by students on campus. The rationale for this action includes improvement of student organization and achievement while increasing campus safety and security. Purses carried by students may be no larger than 8”x 11” in size (notebook size).
Students who need to bring gym clothes to school are required to bring them in a plastic bag.
Students participating in a sport will be issued a sport bag from the athletic department/coach for the duration of that sport. These bags must be stored daily with the coach, in homeroom, or in the locker room. Students may not carry it throughout the day.

Eighth Grade Promotion Requirements
Students must achieve a 1.0 or D average in each academic class to qualify for the promotion ceremony. If a student earns an “F” in the last quarter or a “U” in any class, it will impact the privilege(s) of attending the promotion activities but will not impact the promotion ceremony if all other criteria are met.
If a student is suspended at the time of the promotion ceremony, he or she will not earn the privilege to participate in the ceremony.
Students who have received multiple disciplinary actions for significant behavior concerns resulting in suspension(s), will be in jeopardy of not participating in the promotion activities.
All students participating in promotion must follow school-wide dress code.
