Now known as Enloe GT/IB Magnet High School, William G. Enloe High School opened in 1962. Named in honor of the Mayor of Raleigh, it opened as Raleigh's first integrated high school. During the spring of 1979, Aycock Junior High School (now the east building) was merged with Enloe to form a 9-12 school. In the 1980-81 school year, the Gifted & Talented magnet component designed to provide specialized courses was added to the academic program at Enloe. In 1997, the IB Diploma programme was added.
Enloe students enjoy the school's diversity reflected in the curriculum and in the student population. If Enloe could be summed up in one word, it would be excellence. Enloe offers students the opportunity to explore and grow to their full potential. Whether it be through academics, sports, or the arts, Enloe provides students the opportunity to perform, to learn, to grow, and to dream.
Enloe High School maintains a commitment to excellence. The administration, teachers, and staff seek to maintain a positive learning environment where students are provided challenging and unique opportunities to gain knowledge and develop their full potential. It takes the efforts of the administration, faculty, students, and parents working together to maintain a safe, exciting, and productive school environment. Courteous, respectful, and acceptable behavior should be exhibited at all times.
Gifted & Talented |
The Gifted and Talented magnet program at Enloe is implemented in 3 ways:
International Baccalaureate Programme |
The IB Diploma Programme is a rigorous pre-university course of studies that meets the needs of highly motivated students in beginning to develop skills to create a better world. The IBO mission states: “The International Baccalaureate Organization aims to develop inquiring minds, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.” To this end, IBO works with schools, governments, and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment.
Daily Operations |
Announcements: Announcements of school activities and events are broadcast at the beginning of second period on the ‘Loe Down morning news broadcast and over the school’s intercom system (only school events and school recognized clubs/organizations). Afternoon announcements will be limited to bus changes, cancellations, and emergency announcements. All announcements must be approved by a faculty member. If an emergency announcement needs to be made other than during first period announcements, it must be approved by an administrator.
Building Access: The building will open each day at 6:55 am. Buses will not drop students off until 6:55 am. Prior to 6:55 am, only the front door of the building will be open. All students should plan their arrival to campus after 6:55 am as we do not have student supervision until that time. At the end of the day, the building will be locked at 3:00 pm. Only students who are under the direct supervision of a teacher/coach will be permitted in the building. All other students should leave campus following the dismissal bell.
School Meal Information: | Lunch Information: You may eat lunch in the cafeteria, the courtyard, the West Gym lobby and/or in the classroom under the direct supervision of a teacher (a time/date stamped pass with teacher signature must be displayed to the adult on duty). |
Locks & Lockers |
Students who wish to have a locker should submit a locker request form. Forms to request a locker are available in the main office and through the Enloe website. The forms need to be submitted to the office, and will be processed within 1-2 school days. Students are encouraged not to share their combinations with others as a loss prevention and/or risk of theft. The school will not be responsible for the security of any item(s) stored in lockers. Books and/or other belongings placed in an unassigned locker or in a locker designated to another student will be removed. Lockers are the property of the school and may be searched at any time by a school official. Students should contact the Assistant Principal (Mr. Jackson) in charge of lockers to determine the proper procedure to replace a broken or lost lock. If a lock is broken or lost by a student, the replacement cost is $6.00. If the fine is not paid promptly, it will reflect on the student's obligation summary. Students must provide their own locks and place them on the lockers during physical education and dance classes.
Lost & Found |
Lost and found articles should be turned into the main office. Lost items may be reclaimed from the office during the school day. Lost and found items not picked up in a reasonable time will be donated to charity.
School Clubs & Organizations |
Enloe High School is proud to offer over 100 academic and student interest clubs. All students are encouraged to become involved in at least one extra-curricular activity while here at Enloe. School clubs and organizations are categorized as either School-Sponsored or Student-Initiated. School-Sponsored clubs are defined as student council, academic, service, or honor organizations or an extension of a school-sponsored program. Student-Initiated clubs are those that do not meet one of the criteria above. More information about specific clubs, including advisors and room locations, can be found on the school website. |
Posting Information & Announcements: Students may display posters that are related to approved school activities such as club meetings, school activities, and events. Signs must be approved by the club advisor prior to being approved by administration. If an advisor gives approval for a sign, the advisor should print a hard copy or email an electronic copy to obtain approval from the Assistant Principal. The club will be responsible for making copies, posting and removing their signs from approved areas. Approved areas are denoted with signage stating, “POSTING STATION”. Special approval MUST be acquired to hang posters in other areas of the school. Do not use tape on the bulletin boards. Failure to follow the above regulations may result in a club being unable to post information for the remainder of the school year. Signs should only be posted using painters tape or masking tape. Clear/scotch tape is strictly prohibited.
Instructional Technology / Media Services |
The Media Center is open daily for students to work on school work or to read: In the morning from when the building opens until first period begins, during the school day with their class or with a pass from a teacher, during lunches as space permits, and after school for at least thirty minutes. Closings may occur on short notice due to special events and/or required staff meetings. This information will be posted outside the media center doors. Students must have a pass to leave the media center at any time during a class period.
Enloe’s Media Center holdings include 17,000-plus book titles, CDs, DVDs and VHS tapes, online electronic databases, and internet access. Most books may be checked out for a three-week period. If a book is not returned, the patron is charged for a replacement in the amount the media center originally paid for the book. A patron may choose to purchase a copy of the lost book and donate it to the media center. Selected reference and reserve materials may be checked out only overnight.
Students are expected to follow the Media Center rules and respect the Media Center resources. Computers may only be used for school related work. Electronic devices may only be used for school work and must be in silent mode. All students, staff, and faculty must abide by the Wake County Schools Acceptable Use Policy (AUP).

Grade Reports & Interim Reports |
Grade reports are issued at the end of each nine weeks. The dates are November 8, 2024, January 28, 2025, and April 15, 2025. All grade reports for quarters 1, 2, and 3 are physically handed to students by teachers on the dates above except for quarter 4 which is mailed. Information is also available on PowerSchool.
Evaluation is based on activities such as homework, class work, projects, reports, class participation, quizzes, tests, and examinations. The relative value attached to any activity is determined by the importance of the activity in achieving the objectives of the course.
Progress or interim reports are issued at the midpoint of each nine weeks for all students. The dates are the weeks of September 23, 2024, December 9, 2024, February 24, 2025, and May 12, 2025. Progress reports are either given to students by teachers or are located on PowerSchool.
All concerns and questions regarding academics should be directed first to the teacher of the course involved. Students should be encouraged to advocate for themselves. If the concern is not addressed satisfactorily, the concern or question should be directed to the Assistant Principal with oversight of that specific department. All non-academic concerns should be directed to the student’s assigned administrator or counselor.
Grading |
For All students, grades are determined as follows:
Letter Grade | Points | AP/IB Course GPA pts. | Honor Courses GPA Pts. | Reg./Acad. Courses |

Promotion Requirements |
High school grade level is based on successful completion of a predetermined set of credits for each grade level.
Requirements for students entering ninth grade for the first time in 2016-17 and beyond:
From Grade | Promotion Criteria | Credits |
9 | English I, two credits in the areas of mathematics, social studies, or science, and three additional credits | 6 |
10 | English II, one credit in mathematics, one credit in social studies, one credit in science, and two additional credits | 12 |
11 | English III and enrollment in a program which, if successfully accomplished, will result in the completion of graduation requirements. | 18 |
Any student graduating in or after 2015 is required to successfully complete CPR instructions as outlined in NCGS 115c-81(el).
Students will be classified as 12th graders if they are enrolled in English IV even if they are concurrently taking English III. Students may not take two core English courses in the same year unless they plan to complete all graduation requirements by the end of the school year.
Class Rank |
There shall be periodic compilations of class rankings in high school for the purpose of making an individual student’s class rank available to the student, his/her parent, and to other institutions, such as colleges/universities for the purpose of college/university admission and/or scholarships.
To determine class rank, each high school uses final course grades, dividing the total number of quality points divided by the total number of credits attempted. The results are rounded to the fourth decimal place. Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate courses, Community College courses included on the most recent Comprehensive Articulation Agreement Transfer List, and courses taught at four-year universities and colleges carry one (1.0) extra quality point. Honors courses carry one-half (0.5) extra quality point. This program guide designates courses with weighted credit with an “AP” or “HN.” To obtain information about which courses carry weighted credit, as well as general information about class rank, students should consult with their counselors.
A Senior Honors rank is calculated and awarded in accordance with Policy 3450, Class Rankings. For students graduating at the end of eight semesters, all high schools will determine senior honors using the GPA at the end of the 1st semester of the graduating year (semester 7). If any student believes that their last semester courses will impact their honors status, they can request that the school review their transcript and final grades. If final semester grades are likely to result in a new/different recognition, the school will honor that recognition. Please note that updates to honors status will only be able to be changed in the graduation program up until a certain date as those are printed well before graduation. No student who earns graduation honors will have their status altered if their final GPA falls in the last semester of study. For students graduating midyear, the school will use this same system for determining graduation honors using the weighted GPA from the last completed semester of study. The principal shall have final approval of honors designations.
Latin Honors (Level of Distinction)
Beginning in 2018-19, the WCPSS will designate the following senior honors in lieu of naming a Valedictorian or Salutatorian:

Academic Integrity |
Academic honesty is essential to excellence in education and is directly related to the Board's educational objectives for students to promote integrity and self-discipline in students. As all schoolwork is a measure of student performance, academic honesty facilitates an accurate measurement of student learning.
Each student, parent, family & staff member has a responsibility to promote a culture that respects & fosters integrity. Academic integrity & honesty requires that all stakeholders share responsibility in the fulfillment of the policy.
In fulfilling these responsibilities:
A. Prohibited Behavior
1. Cheating: Cheating is an academic deception where a student intends in some way to receive or attempt to receive credit for work not originated by the student, to give or receive unauthorized assistance, or to give or receive an unfair advantage on any form of academic work.
Cheating includes, but is not limited to:
2. Plagiarism: Plagiarism is using passages, materials, words, ideas, and/or thoughts of someone or something else and representing them as one's own original work without properly crediting the source.
Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to:
3. Falsification or Deceit: Intentional acts of falsification or serious deceitful misconduct that threaten the health, safety, or welfare of others, or that cause a substantial detrimental impact on school operations or other individuals are prohibited.
Falsification or deceit includes, but is not limited to:
B. Violations
C. Honor Code Violation
1st infraction:
2nd infraction
3rd infraction
Severe cheating that involves theft and/or distribution of course material will be an immediate referral to the administration.
CAMPUS SAFETY GUIDELINES
In order to provide for the safety and supervision of all students, students are expected to remain on campus during the instructional day. This includes lunch periods. Once students are on campus, they must follow the appropriate check out procedures to leave. This includes having to return to your car to get a textbook, etc.
LUNCH PASSES
Only JUNIORS & SENIORS with an approved lunch pass can leave campus for lunch. Students with the approved lunch pass must follow all rules stated on the Lunch Pass Privilege Form, including not returning to campus with food for themselves or for other students. Food acquired while off-campus is to be consumed off-campus. Doors to the school building will be locked until just before the end of the lunch period. Off-campus lunch privileges may be revoked for up to 180 days for ANY violation of the Student Code of Conduct. Students without lunch passes who leave campus will risk loss of future opportunity to get lunch passes.
OFF LIMIT AREAS
For safety reasons, there are several areas of the campus designated as “off-limits” during the instructional day: wooded area between the East and Main buildings, Clarendon Crescent, academic hallways during lunch, practice fields, breezeway, baseball field, track, any construction areas, and parking lots. If students are found in these “off-limits” areas, they will receive appropriate disciplinary action. Students who drive or are transported by other students are to get out of vehicles upon parking and enter the building. Students are not to remain in cars after 7:25 am. Also, students are not allowed to sit in their vehicle during any lunch period. Students are not allowed to congregate on Clarendon Crescent before, during, or after school. Students may not use the sidewalk on Clarendon Crescent during class change.
HALL PASSES
Students are not permitted in the halls during the school day unless they have an official 2025-2026 hall pass. Students without a hall pass will be sent back to class and/or receive appropriate disciplinary action. Students are responsible for getting a hall pass from a teacher if they are in the hall during class time and especially during lunch periods. Students are not permitted out of class, with or without a pass, during the first 10 minutes and last 10 minutes of class.
School Safety |
SAFETY DRILLS
When the fire alarm signal begins, students should exit the building quickly and quietly and proceed to the designated location away from the building. A chart is posted in every room near the door showing the route to be followed in case of a fire drill. When the signal is given indicating that the drill is over, students should return to their rooms in a quiet and orderly manner.
Tornado drills are announced over the public address system along with a drill tone. Students should report to the location indicated by their teachers. Students will be instructed to get into a kneeling position and remain there until the conclusion of the drill.
Per Wake County policy and in order to be prepared for a neighborhood emergency, Enloe will conduct random lockdown drills throughout the school year. Per Wake County policy, random K-9 safety searches will also be performed at the WCPSS Security’s discretion.
STUDENT ACCIDENT INSURANCE
A student accident insurance program is available to all students at the beginning of the school year with enrollment in the program offered on a voluntary basis. The premium will be assumed by the respective parent or guardian. Student activities requiring student accident insurance coverage are: Interscholastic athletic program, Intramural athletic program, Marching band, Cheerleading, and any groups involving overnight trips. Students who participate in school sponsored sports must purchase this insurance unless covered by another insurance policy.
DANCES/PROM
All school rules apply at school dances. All students/guests must have a picture ID to be admitted to a school dance/prom. Once students leave a dance, they are not allowed to return. All non-Enloe students must be accompanied by an Enloe student and must complete a Guest List Request Form which can be found on the school’s website and/or in the main office.
DELIVERIES (OFF-CAMPUS FOOD, BALLOONS, FLOWERS, GIFTS, etc.)
The office will not accept deliveries of food, balloons, flowers, stuffed animals or gifts of any nature. Students are not allowed to carry balloons or flowers during the school day. This applies to special days like Valentine’s Day, birthdays, etc. Food deliveries from outside vendors are not permitted (doordash, ubereats, pizza, fast food, etc.).
SAFETY TIPS
Behavioral Expectations |
All students in 9-12 are responsible for complying with and are expected to be familiar with the WCPSS Code of Student Conduct and school board policies governing student behavior and conduct. We believe all students are capable of demonstrating positive behaviors through intentional structure and modeling. We need parents to serve as partners as we work to encourage our students to meet and exceed our Enloe expectations. All Code of Student Conduct policies are contained in the WCPSS Student/Parent Handbook, which is distributed to all students and parents at the beginning of each school year or upon enrollment in the WCPSS. If there is a conflict between the rules expressed in this handbook/agenda/planner and the Code of Student Conduct policies, the WCPSS Code of Student Conduct policies shall take precedence. Please use the link below to access the WCPSS Student/Parent Handbook for more!
ENLOE CELL PHONE/PERSONAL DEVICE USE
Violations may result in: call to parent/guardian, and/or in-school/out-of-school suspensionNo cell phones during instructional time (state law). The improper use of cell phones in high schools can negatively impact students' academic performance and social development, highlighting the need for effective cell phone procedures. To enhance the learning experience of every student, Enloe has implemented Cell Phone/Device Procedures according to new State law. Each classroom has a “Cell Phone Use Procedures” poster displayed. Teachers will review the specific expectations for cell phone use during their individual classes.
Cell Phone Wheel
Keep it on RED mostly
Each classroom should have a Cell Phone Wheel poster to show the classroom expectations for devices.
Each teacher will add their expectations for each color (On separate sheets). The teacher will determine when to move the arrow.
In the event a student is not following expectations, they will receive personal reminders and families will be notified. If students are consistently not meeting expectations, a referral to administration will occur and consequences, if deemed necessary, will be issued pursuant to the WCPSS Code of Conduct.
TARDY CONSEQUENCES AND PROCEDURES
To maximize student instruction, all students must report to class on time and be prepared to learn. In order to ensure a positive outcome, all teachers must be committed to the procedures below:
If a student is tardy these steps will be taken:
Step 1 - For each tardy #1- 6 - Warning from the tardy station, pass to class
Step 2 - For each tardy #7- 9 - One period (immediate consequence) of ALC (room 2612/ contact student/parent/counselor

Step 5 - For tardy #12 - Two full days of OSS (send to class, admin will suspend)
Step 6 - For tardy #13-15 - Warning from the tardy station
Step 7 - For tardy #16 - Two full days of OSS, (send to class, admin will suspend), parent meeting if possible
Other attendance issues:
If a student is legitimately late for school, the student must receive a late pass from Ms. Jiles who is located in the main office.
SALE OF ITEMS
Students are not to engage in the sale of items to other students unless the sale is school-sponsored. Any sale of an item for the purpose of raising funds for school activities by the students shall have prior written approval by the principal and the superintendent. All fundraising activities should be coordinated with the administrator in charge of fundraising.
DRESS CODE
Students are expected to adhere to standards of dress and appearance. Our guiding principles for the student dress code are similar to those experienced and expected in the workplace: attire that furthers health and safety of students and staff, enables the educational process, and facilitates the operations of the school. Parents are asked to partner with the school district to monitor student attire to help adhere to the guiding principles set forth in the policy.
To promote these goals, students may not wear or carry clothing, jewelry, book bags, or other personal articles that:
1. Depict profanity, vulgarity, obscenity, or violence;
2. Promote the use or abuse of alcohol, tobacco, or illegal drugs;
3. Are prohibited under Policy 4309 III-2 (Gang and Gang Related Activity) or any other provision of the Code of Student Conduct;
4. Threaten the health or safety of staff or students; or
5. Are reasonably likely to create a substantial disruption of the educational process or operations of the school.
Specifically:
a) Students must wear clothing that covers their skin from chest to mid-thigh with opaque (non-see-through) fabric in front, back, and on the sides.
b) Students must wear shoes at all times except when changing for physical education or athletic practices or events or when specifically directed otherwise by a teacher or administrator.
c) Clothing must cover undergarments (waistbands and straps excluded).
d) Breasts, genitals and buttocks must be covered with opaque (non-see-through) fabric.
e) Specialized courses may require specialized attire, such as sports uniforms or safety gear. Schools may impose restrictions on student clothing and/or hairstyles not listed in this policy only when strictly necessary to comply with specific health or safety regulations in light of unique hazards in a particular context (e.g., physical education classes, science labs, wood shop, or similar activities) or when otherwise required by law or Board policy.
f) Head coverings (including hats, hoods, sweat bands, and bandanas) are generally prohibited in the school building. However, students may wear head coverings in the school building as an expression of sincerely held religious belief (e.g., hijabs or yarmulkes) or cultural expression (e.g., hair ties or headwraps) or to reasonably accommodate medical or disability-related issues (e.g., protective helmets).
g) The Wake County Board of Education supports state and federal CROWN Act legislation that would provide protections for protective, natural, or cultural hairstyles. In particular, schools must permit protective, natural, or cultural hairstyles, including but not limited to braids, dreadlocks, locs, twists, tight curls or cornrows, Bantu knots, afros, and other culturally expressive hair ties or headwraps. Students are free to adopt hairstyles of their choice, whether short, long, shaved, braided, curled, twisted, knotted, or otherwise.
Enforcement: Any school dress code enforcement actions should minimize the potential loss of educational time. When a school staff member or school administrator discusses a dress or grooming violation with a student, the adult should be the same gender as the student if practicable. Staff concerns about student attire should be discussed discreetly and out of earshot of other students to the extent practicable. Teachers or staff discussing a dress or grooming violation with a student should present options for obtaining appropriate clothing (e.g., school clothing closet) or otherwise complying with this dress code (e.g., removing a problematic item). School-directed changes to a student’s attire or grooming should be the least restrictive and disruptive to the student’s school day.
Applicability: This policy is to be applied fairly and consistently without regard to race, gender, or other inherent traits or characteristics. Differential treatment of students based on race, ethnicity, or other protected status is strictly prohibited as discriminatory under Board policy 1710 Prohibition against Discrimination, Harassment, and Bullying. Principals or their designees shall make reasonable accommodations for religious, educational, medical, or disability-related reasons and for cultural celebrations.
This policy does not apply to school-sanctioned uniforms and costumes approved for athletics, choral, band, dance, or dramatic performances. Except as specifically noted in this policy based on an exception or accommodation, this policy applies at all times when students are present on school property or in attendance at official, school-sponsored events.
CARD PLAYING/GAMBLING - Online or Offline
No student or group of students is to engage in gambling on campus or online during the school day. Students shall not participate in any unauthorized event, action, or statement which relies on chance for the monetary advantage of one participant at the expense of others.
TRESPASSING ON ANOTHER SCHOOL’S CAMPUS
No student shall be on the campus of any school except the one to which the student is assigned during the school day without the knowledge and consent of the officials of that school.
TRESPASSING ON ENLOE’S CAMPUS
No student shall be on Enloe’s campus while they are suspended from school. In addition, students are not allowed to bring visitors on campus during the instructional day.
SMOKING AND POSSESSION OF TOBACCO PRODUCTS
No student shall possess, smoke, or otherwise use any tobacco product in any school building or school vehicle at any time or on the school premises or while attending or participating in a school function. Possession of the above mentioned items will result in disciplinary action as outlined by School Board Policy.
NARCOTICS, ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES, CHEMICALS, AND DRUG PARAPHERNALIA
No student shall possess, use, distribute, sell, possess with intent to distribute or sell, or conspire to attempt to distribute or sell, or be under the influence of any narcotic drug, hallucinogenic drug, amphetamine, barbiturate, marijuana, anabolic steroid, or other controlled substance, any alcoholic beverage, malt beverage, fortified wine, other intoxicating liquor, drug paraphernalia, counterfeit substance, any unauthorized prescription drug, or any other chemicals or products with the intention of bringing about a state of exhilaration, euphoria, or otherwise altering the student’s mood or behavior. Any student violating this School Board Policy shall receive disciplinary consequences.
POSSESSION OF WEAPONS AND DANGEROUS INSTRUMENTS
No student shall possess, handle, or transmit any weapon, facsimile of a weapon, or other object that can reasonably be considered or used as a weapon or dangerous instrument.
Wake County Public School System’s Code of Conduct defines a weapon as any firearm, BB gun, stun gun, mace/pepper spray, air rifle, air pistol, ammunition, power loads, fireworks, knife, slingshot, leaded cane, blackjack, metallic knuckles, razors, razor blades (except cartridge razors used solely for personal shaving), box cutter and any sharp-pointed or edged instrument except instructional supplies, unaltered nail files and clips and tools used solely for preparation of food, instruction, and maintenance.
A dangerous instrument is defined as any object that is possessed, handled, transmitted, or used for the purpose or intent of causing or attempting to cause physical injury. Students violating this policy shall receive disciplinary consequences.
FIGHTING
No student shall hit, slap, shove, scratch, bite, block the passage of, or throw objects at another person. No student shall take any action or make comments or written messages which might reasonably be expected to result in a fight. In addition to school disciplinary consequences, students who are involved in a fight may be arrested and charged with an affray, assault, and/or disruption. Fighting will not be tolerated on campus, on school buses/bus stops, or at any school activity.
BOMB THREAT
No student shall make, aid, and/or abet in making a bomb threat or hoax by making a false report that a device designated to cause damage or destruction by explosion, blasting, or burning is located on the school premises or at the site of school activities. Any student violating this School Board Policy will be subject to receiving a long-term suspension from school for 365 days and felony charges by the local authorities.
GANG AND GANG RELATED ACTIVITIES
The WCPSS does not support or condone gang membership or gang activity. No student shall commit any act that furthers gangs or gang-related activities. Conduct prohibited by this policy includes:
THIS HANDBOOK SERVES AS A WARNING ABOUT GANG ACTIVITY. STUDENTS IN VIOLATION OF THIS POLICY WILL IMMEDIATELY RECEIVE DISCIPLINARY CONSEQUENCES IF THEY ARE INVOLVED IN ANY GANG ACTIVITY.
FALSE FIRE ALARM
No student shall set, attempt to set off, or aid and abet anyone in giving a false fire alarm. No student shall interfere with or damage any part of a fire alarm, fire detection, smoke detection, or fire extinguishing system. Any student violating this School Board Policy shall receive disciplinary consequences.
THREAT/FALSE THREAT
No student shall make any threat through written or verbal language, sign, or act which conveys a serious expression of intent to cause harm or violence. Furthermore, no student shall make a false threat of harm or violence, even in jest, which causes or is reasonably likely to cause fear or a disruption to school activities.
HAZING
Hazing is prohibited. No group or individual shall require a student to wear abnormal dress, play abusive or ridiculous tricks on him/her, frighten, scold, beat, harass or subject him/her to personal indignity. This includes extra-curricular activities during Homecoming, Spirit Week, etc.
INTIMIDATION/DISRESPECT/BULLYING
Verbal, nonverbal, or physical conduct that interferes with an individual’s learning environment is prohibited. Intimidation, bullying, repeated teasing or taunting, or the use of offensive or degrading language including, but not limited to, remarks that demean a person’s race, religion, sex, national origin, disability, intellectual ability, sexual orientation or physical attributes are specifically prohibited. This also includes cyber-bullying. A student who violates this School Board Policy shall receive disciplinary consequences.
HARASSMENT
It is the priority of the Wake County Board of Education to provide each and every student in the Wake County Public School System with a safe, orderly and caring learning environment. To this end, the Board prohibits bullying and harassment under any circumstances. This policy is in addition to the Board’s sexual harassment policy.
Harassment means any offensive verbal, nonverbal or physical conduct that is sufficiently severe, persistent or pervasive to interfere with a student’s ability to participate in or benefit from an educational opportunity or activity. Prohibited conduct may include, but is not limited to, abusive jokes, insults, slurs, name-calling, threats, bullying or intimidation.
STUDENT INTERNET ACCESS AND ELECTRONIC MAIL
Wake County Public Schools is now offering Internet access and electronic mail (e-mail) for student use. Access to the internet will enable students to explore thousands of libraries, databases, and bulletin boards while exchanging messages with Internet users throughout the world. Families are warned that some material accessible via the Internet may contain items that are illegal, defamatory, inaccurate, or potentially offensive to some people. While our intent is to make Internet access available to further educational goals and objectives, students may find ways to access other materials as well. We believe that the benefits to students from access to the Internet, in the form of information resources and opportunities for collaboration, exceed any disadvantages; but ultimately, parents and guardians of minors are responsible for setting and conveying the standards that their children should follow when using media and information sources. To that end, the Wake County Board of Education supports and respects each family’s right to decide whether or not to deny their child’s access. Each child will automatically be given access to the Internet and e-mail unless the parent or guardian completes the Parental Request to Deny Access form. These forms may be obtained from the Enloe website.
Individual users of the Internet are expected to abide by the generally accepted rules of network etiquette. The following are specifically not permitted:
In the event a student engages in any of the above referenced activities, his/her access privileges may be revoked and other disciplinary measures may result.
Early Release/College Release/Late Start |
All students will be enrolled in a full schedule unless they are approved for a shortened schedule, late start or early release. Reasons for a shortened schedule include but are not limited to participation in the Career and College Promise (CCP) program, dual enrollment with another institution (NCSSM or college), medical reasons, or an approved reason by the Principal.
Early release students are expected to be off campus no later than fifteen minutes after their last assigned class. Students who are on campus after this time must be under the direct supervision of a teacher. If the student chooses to remain on campus after their last class, the student will risk losing the privilege of early release and will be assigned a class to attend. They may also be subject to disciplinary consequences from the administration.
Students with a “late-start'' are expected to be on campus no earlier than 15 minutes prior to their first class. If the student chooses to arrive too early, the student will risk losing the privilege of “late-start” and will be assigned a class to attend.
All students with a shortened schedule will receive a pass from Student Services verifying their leave/arrival times. Students must carry their pass with them each day they are in attendance at school. Questions should be directed to the student’s Counselor.
The District’s goal: By 2028, WCPSS will ensure 95% of all students are in attendance at least 95% of their days in membership. Consistent school attendance is necessary for academic success and therefore we place a great deal of emphasis on consistent school attendance. Students should be present daily unless there is a valid reason for being absent.
At Enloe High School, cumulative absences (any combination of excused and unexcused) above ten (10) in a semester or twenty (20) in one or more classes in a year are considered excessive. After ten (10) days in a semester class or twenty (20) days of accumulated absences in a year-long class and failure to meet the set expectations, the student may be subject to failure, retention, or summer school.
Students with chronic illnesses or chronic health problems and who have approved medical documentation on file with the school’s attendance office will be exempt from the 10 day/20 day absence requirement of the attendance policy provided that the absences are related to the student’s medical condition. Students need to submit the medical documentation to the school at the beginning of the school year.
Office personnel may not supply student attendance information to parents/guardians by phone due to confidentiality. In order to receive attendance information, parents/guardians must be present and show a valid ID.
A student must be present for at least half of the day in order to participate in any extra-curricular activities that day.
Absences |
Valid conditions for excused absences include:
Unexcused Absences: Any absence not meeting the requirements of an excused absence shall be an unexcused absence. Unexcused absences involving class truancy and/or failure to follow attendance policies and procedures may result in disciplinary action. Credit given for make-up work missed during an unexcused absence will be determined in accordance with the school’s attendance policy (see “Make-up Work” section).
Absences’ Notes: When a student returns to school after being absent, the student must bring a note signed by the parent or guardian. The note should include the following information:
The student should take the note to the Attendance Office (East) or Main office (West) before classes 6:55-7:25, during lunch, or after school. Notes should be presented within 2 days of the student’s return to school (including physician notes). Failure to comply will result in the absence being recorded as unexcused. All attendance notes will be collected by the attendance clerk to be recorded and filed. Notes received after the two-day window following a student’s return will not be accepted and the absence will remain unexcused.
Approved Educational & Out of Town Trips |
Approved Education & College Visitation Days: A student who plans an educational leave and has scheduled the trip during a regular school day needs to obtain a “Request for Excused Absence for Educational Leave” form from the attendance office and have a parent or guardian complete the form. Seniors are allowed two (2) educational leave days, including college visits, which do not count toward absences for exam exemptions. The form should be turned back into the attendance office within the month the event takes place. At that time, the attendance staff member will give the form to their Apha Administrator for approval. Failure to submit a Request For Excused Absence For Educational Reasons form prior to the college visitation will result in an absence that will count against the senior for exemption purposes, and all students will receive an unexcused absence.
Field Trips |
Students who are scheduled to go on a field trip need to have each one of their assigned teachers sign their field trip form so that the teacher will be aware of the absence. Students going on field trips are responsible for completing and submitting their assignments before or immediately following the field trip. Individual field trips must be approved prior to the trip. Failure to do so will result in an unexcused absence from school.
Late Arrivals & Tardies |
Tardy Procedures
To maximize student instruction, all students must report to class on time and be prepared to learn. In order to ensure a positive outcome, all teachers will be committed to the procedures below:
Tardy Consequences & Documentation Guidelines
If a student is tardy these steps will be taken:
Step 1 - For each tardy #1- 6 - Warning from the tardy station, pass to class
Step 2 - For each tardy #7- 9 - One period (immediate consequence) of ALC (room 2612), student contact/parent contact/counselor contact
Step 3 - For tardy #10 - One day of ALC (room 2612)
Step 4 - For tardy #11 - One day ISS
Step 5 - For tardy #12 - Two full days OSS
Step 6 - For tardy #13 - 15 - Warning from the tardy station, pass to class
Step 7 - For tardy #16 - Two full days OSS
Step 8 - For tardy #17 - 19 - Warning from the tardy station, pass to class
Step 9 - For tardy #20 - Two full days OSS
Repeat steps of three warnings then two full days OSS
“Success in school begins with showing up. Your attendance shapes your academic journey.”
Students arriving late to school and/or outside of the tardy sweep window MUST check in at the Attendance Office located in the East building. Students are required to speak with the Attendance Clerk in order to be marked present. Students may not leave notes in the box and proceed to class.
Checkout Information |
Anytime a student is being checked out of school, parents/guardians must present proper photo ID (Driver License/ID) to the attendance secretary and complete the check-out form. Only those who are listed in the school database will be permitted to checkout a student. Students will not be granted permission to leave campus unless parents or guardians are reached.This includes students who are 18 years of age or older. Students who leave without checking out will receive an unexcused absence. This includes leaving for lunch and not returning to school.
In the event that a student must leave campus for a planned appointment, the student must report to the attendance office before school and present to the attendance clerk a note for verification. Upon verification, the attendance technician will give the student a pass to be dismissed from class at the appropriate time. At the designated time the student will then report to the attendance office to sign out and meet his/her parent. Upon returning to school, the student must check in with the attendance clerk and present the signed check-out note.
Notes from parents requesting check-out for appointments should include the following information:
Off-Campus Lunch Pass |
On Campus Parking Information |
All vehicles parked in assigned spaces must have a completed Parking Application (notary required) on file and the parking fee paid. Parking citations will be issued for unauthorized parking and the following consequences will apply:
Permits will not be issued to students with outstanding fines or fees.
Senior Final Exam Exemptions |
Students in Grade 12 may be exempt from exams based on the following criteria:
· Students must have a projected final grade of B or higher
· Students must have 10 or fewer absences in the course.
· Students cannot be exempt from state testing including field testing.
The principal (consistent with GS 115C-288) has final authority to determine a student's exemption status.
Visitors to Campus |
Upon arrival to campus, any visitor should report to the main office to sign in using the visitor management system. Visitors will be issued a Visitor’s Identification Badge from the visitor management system to wear while on campus. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT ALL VISITORS SIGN IN AT THE MAIN OFFICE SO THAT THEY WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED TRESPASSERS. For liability reasons, students may not bring visitors to school during the school day. Designated visitor parking is available in the circular drive located in front of the Main Building. Visitors are not permitted to visit classrooms without prior approval from an administrator.
Parent Volunteer Registration |
We value our stakeholders and look forward to another great year of working together. All of our parents and other community members are encouraged to register as a volunteer with the Wake County Public School System. The process is relatively simple and just requires a few moments of your time.
Any new volunteer applicants for the school year must register and have a criminal background check prior to engaging in volunteer work. Applicants may register at any WCPSS site through the intranet or from their home computer. Applicants will be notified by email once their application has been approved. Applicants who are not approved will receive notice from Employee Relations.
Note: Current WCPSS employees do NOT need to register as a volunteer.
No individual may begin as a volunteer in any capacity on WCPSS property until the principal/department leader has received notification of the volunteer's approval. Please note that Mr. Brick, Assistant Principal, will be the contact point for all correspondence sent from the Human Resources Department regarding the status of a volunteer.
Individuals who were approved as volunteers last year MUST reactivate their volunteer status no later than 4:00 pm on October 31, 2024.
