ROYAL PALM BEACH COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL Standard Operating Procedures SY 18-19
“LIVING THE WILDCAT BEST IS THE KEY TO OUR SUCCESS”
August 9, 2018
Royal Palm Beach High School – Standard Operating Procedures Revised SY18-19 2
Hello Parents and Students,
Welcome to the 2018-2019 school year. This document is what we call our Standard Operating Procedures. It
details common practices and procedures that we have in place at Royal Palm Beach High School that are specific
to our school. These procedures are designed to further our vision of excellence and achieve our mission of being
our Wildcat Best by ensuring that our day-to-day operations are consistent. These Standard Operating Procedures
are not, however, all encompassing. This document is to be used in conjunction with the School District of Palm
Beach County’s Student and Family Handbook, Code of Conduct, and Student Progression Plan (see the links
below).
I encourage you to read through this and the aforementioned documents and to reach out to our administration
should you have any questions. I am beyond confident that by us, as a school community, abiding by the practices
and procedures detailed in these documents, we can have the kind of school culture of which we can all be proud.
Thank you.
GO WILDCATS!!
