Registration forms and fee information can be picked up at the front office. VISITORS/VOLUNTEERS All are welcome! To ensure safety, you must: 1. Go directly to the office for a Visitor’s Pass 2. Sign the sign-in notebook 3. Visits must be prearranged with teacher 4. Do Not enter any room without authorization 5. Sign-out in the office when leaving ARRIVAL Students, except for those in child care, may not arrive earlier than 7:50am when duty begins. The take-in bell rings at 8:15am. DISMISSAL All students will be dismissed at 3:15. Students must have a routine way to go home each day. If an emergency requires a change, a letter must be sent to the teacher/office first thing in the morning. Students not having a note will go home according to their routine dismissal. To avoid confusion, DO NOT call or come early for students toward the end of the day unless a note was sent that morning. BUS TRANSPORTATION All students who ride buses are subject to state and local board regulations. Any behavior that distracts the driver is a hazard. It is critical that children observe bus safety and conduct rules. Noncompliant students may lose riding privileges following parent notification. Bus changes are not allowed, due to overloading of buses. A note must be sent if a student is not riding the bus home, stating who will pick him/her up. ATTENDANCE State law requires that students attend school regularly except for personal illness (verified by a doctor), death in the family, or extenuating circumstances. Do not send ill children to school. A student who misses 18 or more days (excused or unexcused) is not promoted. Academic success is reflective of good attendance. Please try to schedule routine appointments during non-school hours. Attendance investigations will be made by the Supervisor of Child Welfare and Attendance for excessive/habitual absences or tardies. When an absent child returns, a note must be sent to the homeroom teacher to explain the absence. This does not mean that the absence is automatically excused. Work assigned prior to the absence is expected to be made up on the day of his/her return. Because your child may become ill at school, make sure that the STUDENT EMERGENCY INFORMATION sheet that you complete at the beginning of each school year is up to date. TARDINESS Any student arriving after the take-in bell at 8:15 is considered tardy. The LA Compulsory Attendance Law regards tardiness as seriously as absences. Excessive tardiness may result in disciplinary action. When late, the student AND THE PARENT are required to sign in at the office. The student will be issued a tardy slip to enter class. CHECK OUT POLICY If your child will be leaving during the day, please send a note to school with him/her. He/she must be signed out in the office by an adult listed on the “Sign out card”. Only designated persons on the card are allowed to pick up your child from school with proper identification. Students may not be checked out after 3:00pm so as to have a safe and orderly dismissal. A record is kept of all school time missed. PARKING Visitors are not to park in the “staff parking” or “reserved parking” spaces in the front of the school. Parking is allowed in the front of the school between 8:30am to 2:30pm. MEDICATION By law, teachers cannot administer medication. Prescription medication given over a long period of time is given by trained personnel. A medication form signed by the parent and doctor is required. The parent must bring the medication to school in its properly labeled original container and count out the supply to the school nurse. Students may NOT carry medication of any type on school grounds. UNIFORM POLICY Uniforms must be worn each day as follows: Shirts - white or kelly green collared oxford or polo. Long or short sleeves may be worn. Pants/shorts/skirts/jumpers/skorts – • Traditional style khaki cotton twill • No baggy or oversized clothes • No pockets on lower legs • No logos on these items • Pants worn at waistline with tucked in shirts and black or brown belts if there are belt loops Socks – visible solid white or khaki Shoes – any style with a closed back and front ID Tags – To be worn at all times, lost tags will be replaced by parents starting at a cost of $2.00. CONFERENCES We encourage parents to schedule conferences. If you have a concern about a school program, about school information, or your child’s performance or behavior, please send a note to the teacher requesting a conference. Unless you want to meet before or after school, please ask the teacher when it would be convenient to meet with you during school hours so that he/she can arrange a time that will not interfere with instructional time. Student planners have been given to 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students and serve as a school/home communication. These planners must be with student at all instructional times. Should a student lose his planner, he/she will be required to purchase a new one at a cost of $5.00. Assignments and upcoming events are to be written in them. The planners have an area for parent/teacher comments. Please get in the habit of using this space as needed to communicate with each other. Each weekly page spread also has activities to promote critical thinking skills. Please discuss these activities with your child.
