Please, all students that enjoy eating breakfast or lunch in the parking lot, please help us out and throw away any trash you have. We are finding a lot of discarded items just left in the parking lot on the ground. Please help us keep McQueen clean.
Reminder: You must have an off campus pass to leave school. You must get a pass from the office to leave school for appointments or if you are sick. The only exception is during lunch. You may not just walk off campus; you must have parental permission and a pass to leave campus. If you get sick during the school day, you should go to the health office. Please do not just go home!
Personal Property on Campus--A reminder, Washoe County School District and McQueen High School are not responsible for items brought to campus that are lost or stolen. To prevent loss of property, please remember to keep valuable items and money either securely locked, or even safer, leave them at home. If you lose anything at school alert SRO right away. Otherwise, keep it secure or at home!
Lancers, please be good neighbors! Do not walk through or eat lunch in the neighborhood just south of McQueen (Northgate Village). This neighborhood is private property. Please use Robb Drive as your route to go to lunch and after school. Please be respectful of our community and show your Lancer Pride, bring litter to the garbage cans on campus and do not leave litter along Robb Drive
Restricted Access during School Hours--An important reminder: For safety reasons students cannot have access to any areas of the football field or other athletic fields, gyms, and facilities during school hours, including lunch. Please always remain out of these areas. Thank you.
Lancers: It is the belief of the Washoe county school district staff and police our Safety is everyone’s responsibility. If you see something Say Something! If you want to report, you can contact SECRET WITNESS at 329-6666 or text to 274637. Enter tip725 + your message. Sometimes there are cash rewards available. YOUR NAME WILL NEVER BE RELEASED AFTER REPORTING!
Students: You are not allowed to eat in class during instructional time. If you bring back your lunch after lunchtime, you can be asked to dispose of it. You have plenty of time for lunch. Class time is not the time to eat.
Students, just a reminder that if you are not feeling well and need to go to the health Office, you MUST get a pass from your teacher. If it is during passing, please report to your next class and ask your teacher for a pass.
