The Campus

Mount Saint Dominic Academy shares its grounds and building with Caldwell College and the Motherhouse of the Sisters of Saint Dominic. The campus is defined by the geographic boundaries of the property. Students are asked to be considerate of the shared use and care for the grounds and buildings by doing the following:

  • Use these entrances/exits to Aquinas Hall: staircase leading to the Science labs, doors leading up to Room 208 or to the Main Office, and the entrance from the St. Dominic court yard.
  • Angelica Hall may be accessed by the doors on the left and the right side of the porch.
  • The main front door and foyer of Rosary Hall are off-limits.
  • College areas are off-limits at all times.
  • Only Seniors may use any entrance to the buildings prior to 8 AM.


I.D. Cards

A Mount Saint Dominic Academy student identification card will be issued annually through the Main Office.

  • The first card is issued free of charge.
  • Lost or stolen cards will be replaced for a $10 fee.
  • I.D. cards must be worn at all times while students are present on campus.


Lockers

“Under the Constitution, all citizens are protected from unreasonable search and seizures; however, this does not mean that you are legally protected from search and seizure of any materials in your locker, which is school property.”
(U.S.C.A. Const. Amend IV)
Periodic random inspection of lockers will be performed.

Students have full responsibility for the contents of their lockers and will make certain that their lockers are locked at all times and that the combination is not given to others. A detention will be issued for unlocked lockers.


Locker Regulations

  • Each student is assigned a school locker which may not be changed.
  • All items are to be stored in lockers. Nothing may be left on top of, underneath or in the area of lockers.
  • Only school-issued locks are to be used.

Students may have access to lockers only before and after school or during assigned lunch or locker break.


Electronic Devices

  • Students may not use the phone during school hours, except in case of emergency. If an emergency arises, the student may receive permission to use the phone in the main office only.
  • Phones, beepers, ipods and other forms of electrical equipment should be turned off during school hours.
  • No photos may be taken without permission.
  • Any device not turned off will be confiscated. Electronic devices must be handed in unlocked and with the battery intact. Once confiscated, at the discretion of the Administration, materials may be viewed. Such devices will only be returned upon receipt of a school issued form signed by a parent and a monetary fine. Devices will not be returned until the next school day. A second infraction may result in the loss of the privilege of having such a device on campus. If a student has two cell phone infractions in a year, she will need to turn in her cell phone to the main office everyday before 8 AM and pick up the cell phone at 3 PM.


Cars on Campus

  • Students who bring cars to school must register their cars in the Main Office.
  • Parking is permitted on a first come, first serve basis, in the assigned parking area only.
  • Upon arrival at school, cars are to be locked and students are to come immediately into the building.
  • The parking lot is off limits during the school day.
  • All campus driving regulations must be obeyed.
  • Violations of these regulations will result in the revocation of on-campus car privileges.
