Food Services
Capital offers a morning breakfast service from 7:40 - 7:55 a.m. Food is also available from 10:00 - 10:10 a.m during break. Two lunch periods are also provided. Students may set up meal accounts through the food services personnel at schedule pick-up in August or anytime during the school year. Free and reduced lunch applications are available from the receptionist in the main office.

Parking
Students are not encouraged to drive to school due to the limited amount of parking available. The purchase of a parking permit does NOT guarantee a parking space. Students wishing to park on campus are required to purchase a permit for $10 with an ASB card or $15 without an ASB card from the ASB office. The permit is valid for one school year. The parking permit is to be displayed on the front windshield. Students are to obey all state motor vehicle laws, drive no faster than 10 mph on school property, and park in a proper and legal fashion. CHS is not liable for the car or its contents while parked on the premises. Students who violate parking policies will be subject to tickets. The first ticket will be $10. Any additional tickets will be $25 per ticket payable to ASB. Continued abuse of parking policies may result in the loss of parking privilege, towing at the students expense, wheel-lock, and/or school disciplinary consequences.

Buses
All students living more than 1 1⁄2 miles from the school are eligible to ride the bus. Information concerning bus routes may be obtained by calling the Olympia School District Transportation Department at 596-7700. A parental note given to the school receptionist is required if a student is to take a different bus.

FERPA /Student Access
Under Congressional Legislation local educational institutions receiving assistance under ESEA are required to give military recruiters access to 11th and 12th grade students’ names, addresses, and telephone listings when requested. Students may opt out of this by completing the Student Directory information in the Students Rights and Responsibilities Handbook and returning that document to the main office.

Visitors
Parent visitors are always welcome after checking in at the main office. Adult visitors must wear “Visitor” badges while on campus. Capital High School does NOT permit non-CHS students to visit our campus during regular school hours. Exceptions may be made for foreign exchange student visitors.

Lockers
Students may be assigned a locker during the 1st week of the school year. This locker will be assigned to the student for four years. Students are responsible for providing their own lock. Students must provide their combination to Mrs. McKinnon when registering for a locker. Lockers are the property of Capital High School and may be searched at any time by an administrator who has reasonable cause for health, safety and/or legal issues. If a student has not provided the combination to Mrs. McKinnon, the school has the right, if necessary to cut the lock during a search procedure. The school is not liable for any lost or stolen items left in lockers.

Assemblies
All assemblies are mandatory and are usually held after second period for 30 minutes.

Posters
The ASB/Activities Director, Mrs. Diane Dominiak, must approve all posters and flyers. Any posters/flyers posted without an “ASB Approved” stamp and approved by Mrs. Dominiak will be removed.

Fines
Student fines are posted in front of the ASB office after the end of each trimester. Students are responsible for reviewing the posted fine list and paying those fines before the beginning of the next trimester. Any fines not paid prior to mini-Arena will result in that student not being allowed to attend mini-arena. During the summer, students are notified of their fines prior to schedule pick-up. Any student, who cannot pay the entire fine, is permitted to enter into a contract to pay over time and/or to work off the fines. Please contact the ASB secretary for further information. Transcripts, diplomas, and final report cards will not be mailed or given out if a student has an outstanding fine.

Lost and Found
All found items should be taken to the main office. Students may search for lost items before or after school. Any found electronic items or jewelry may be retrieved in the main office. Any items not claimed within 30 days will be donated.
