Page | 10 Cost for the field trip is determined by the number of people going on the trip, the admittance fees, and the bus costs. There will be no refund of money paid for field trips if, for any reason, a person cannot attend, since we assess the absolute minimum to pay for the expenses listed above. Monies must be collected two weeks prior to the field trip date. FIRE DRILLS/CRISIS DRILLS Practice fire and safety/crisis drills are conducted the first week of school and at any other time deemed necessary during the school year. Unannounced drills are conducted on a regular basis throughout the year. If you are in the school when a fire bell rings or there is an announcement regarding a code, please follow the instructions given to you by school personnel. Drills of this nature are practiced with the children and staff to ensure their safety and well-being. FRIDAY/WORK FOLDERS Some grade levels elect to prepare Friday and work folders. If this is the case for your child’s teacher, students must take home the work folder once weekly. These folders provide weekly communication between school and home, please take the time to review and discuss the papers with your child. If you are not sure of your child’s teachers’ method of communicating, grades, and/or aware of school events, ask your child’s teacher for clarification. GIFT DELIVERIES TO STUDENTS Please do not have flowers, balloons and similar items delivered to school for students. It is impossible to take such things home on the bus and the arrival of them in classrooms creates a disruption to lessons. HEAD LICE/PEDICULOSIS Occasionally we have cases of pediculosis or head lice at school. The persistent nuisance of head lice creates unnecessary panic. Please read the following information and contact the nurse if you have any questions regarding head lice. The primary symptom of head lice is itching. Diagnosis is made by the identification of nits. Nits are most predictably found on hairs at the nape of the neck and behind the ears where they are protected from extremes of light and temperature, but they may be laid anywhere on the scalp. Therefore, the entire head should be examined. Both over-the-counter and prescription medicines effectively kill lice when used according to the manufacturer's directions. It is recommended that infested persons be treated twice unless the product selected is a prescription.
