GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT The Temple High School Guidance counselors are located in the 200 building. The Guidance Department offers educational advisement, state testing assistance, personal counseling, and career guidance. The purpose of the Guidance Department is to advise each student in regard to appropriate classes; to work with the student's advisors to ensure inclusion of required courses for graduation; to counsel with individual students about personal problems including peer interaction, parental relationships, and self-esteem. Additionally, the guidance team will work to provide information to students about testing, potential careers, and preparation for college and technical programs. The career center and materials are available for students in the Media Center. HALL PASSES During class time, any student out of his/her regular scheduled class must have a school issued hall pass from his/her teacher with the name, the date, the time and the teacher signature on it. Only official hall passes will be accepted. Students without a hall pass will be considered in an unauthorized area and may face disciplinary consequences. During the first 15 minutes and the last 15 minutes of class, no passes are to be given and no students should be out of class unless for an emergency.

HOMECOMING To be considered a candidate for the Homecoming Court, students must be in good standing.

HOSPITAL/HOMEBOUND SERVICES Students may be eligible for instruction through the hospital/homebound program if a doctor anticipates that the student will be out a minimum of ten consecutive days due to illness or accident. Students with chronic health conditions that cause intermittent periods of absence, that may be less than ten days on each occasion, may also be eligible for instruction through the hospital/homebound program. Such absences require medical documentation and must be approved by school personnel and the hospital/homebound program.
