      Senior Retreat Policies

      1. Dress code: Think Casual-For-A-Cause modest and comfortable.

      2. Students are required to be at all the events on the schedule. Skipping an event is considered a serious issue. Parents will be notified immediately if there is a problem.

      3. If a student feels ill or has a special need, he/she must notify a counselor asap.

      4. All Lutheran High School Handbook policies are in effect. The school office will be notified of any disciplinary issues.

      5. Students are to remain on the YMCA of the Rockies property.

      6. Absolutely no possession or use of tobacco, alcohol, or other drugs will be tolerated. School handbook policies are in effect, and the police will be involved in the case of any infractions deemed serious.

      7. While the expectation is that all LHS students will honor these guidelines, any violation or poor representation may result in immediate dismissal from the Senior Retreat. If a student is removed from the retreat for disciplinary reasons, transportation home from YMCA of the Rockies must be arranged by the parents/guardians.
