Cell Phone and Non-School Issued Electronic Device Norms

When students arrive at The LINC, all cell phones and non-school issued electronic devices (i.e. iPads, personal laptops, etc.) should be turned into staff personnel.

Cell phones and devices are given back to students at dismissal from their Seminar Advisor’s classroom.

We highly recommend that all non-school issued electronic devices be kept at home.

This policy has been a norm at The LINC for the past 10 school years.

Dress Code 

  • Light blue polo shirt, dark blue “LINC” gym shirt, or LINC hoodie – all of these items can be purchased on-site at the school.
  • Solid-colored blue, black, or gray pants/slacks/jeans, shorts, or skirt.
    If students choose the shorts or skirt option, they must reach to the knee in length.
  • All parts of each student’s uniform must be “school professional” – including but not limited to, free of rips/ holes, any writing, not excessively tight, and not see-through.
  • All shoes must be close-toed (no sandals, flip-flops, or slippers).
  • During the school day, no hats, hoods, or bandanas are allowed.

Rationale for the Dress Code/Uniform

As a student, you are a proud representative of our school. Whether it is at an academic event or visiting an off-site location, we want you to stand out as a scholar!

The purpose of attending The LINC is to focus on making your dreams come true and to be academically prepared for your next steps after high school. It is not about comparing who has better fashion sense or the newest outfit/accessory on the market. Our primary goal is to keep you safe!

Canvas

  • All students have a Canvas account where daily agendas, assignments, and grades are posted for each course.
  • Parents and guardians are encouraged to log in regularly to stay informed about their student’s assignments, grades, and classroom learning.

If a parent or guardian does not have a Canvas account yet, please check out this stepper, Creating a Parent/Guardian Canvas Account.

  • All parent/guardian Canvas accounts are linked to their student’s account.
