In connection with particular classes, activities and sports, students at Bullis have opportunities from time to time to borrow school equipment, such as athletic uniforms, musical instruments, choir outfits or textbooks. Depending on the nature and value of the equipment being loaned, students or parents are asked to sign a form acknowledging receipt and responsibility prior to being given the equipment. In all cases, the student and his/her parents are responsible for (1) taking proper care of the equipment while it is in their possession and (2) returning the equipment promptly, without reminder, at the end of the trimester or activity. Parents of students not returning equipment within a reasonable period after the end of a trimester/activity will be responsible for paying the full replacement cost of the equipment, which will be added to their student account.
