Tobacco and Smokeless Tobacco (Vaping)

Tobacco in any form is prohibited at all school activities on and off campus and on school premises. Students using or possessing any form of tobacco will receive In-school suspension. Vaping or other use of a battery-operated device (ex: Juul) to inhale substances is not permitted anywhere on Pillow Academy’s campus. Students should not have any device and/or pods on campus. Violations of this code will result in OSS (Out of School Suspension) with repeated violations receiving more severe penalties .

Drugs and Alcohol

Pillow Academy forbids the use of any drugs (not medically approved) or alcohol. Students using or possessing these substances at school or school functions, or being found under the influence of these substances will be suspended immediately for three days and then must appear before the administration with their parents for a hearing. The subject of this hearing will be expulsion from Pillow Academy. This policy will be broadly interpreted to make it more effective in protecting the health, safety, and welfare of Pillow students. The school administration reserves the right to search both persons and belongings if it has reason to believe a student is carrying alcohol, drugs, or other illegal substances. The Pillow Board of Directors has the discretionary authority to interpret this policy and determine all questions arising in the administration, interpretation, and application of this policy.

Break-Ins, Defacements or Vandalism

A student involved in a break-in and/or malicious damage to school property and/or property belonging to school employees and/or an employee’s immediate family will be suspended with his or her readmission to Pillow contingent upon financial compensation for all damages incurred, or at the discretion of the Board of Directors, the student will be expelled from Pillow without a refund of fees. The student may also be subject to legal action. Any minor acts of vandalism including damage to textbooks will require a student or the student’s parents to provide financial compensation for damages incurred. Failure to do so will require the student to face appropriate disciplinary action as determined by the administration.
