Delmar Elementary Student Handbook 2023-2024

Page | 16 POSITIVE BEHAVIOR INTERVENTION SYSTEM (PBIS) COMMITTEE A representative group of school personnel, along with the administration, will meet monthly to update the school's character development program aligned with school and student needs as reflected in various data. This group will serve as a sub-committee of the School Improvement Team/Instructional Leadership Team. PROOF OF RESIDENCY (POR) It is the responsibility of all parents/guardians to provide the school with proof of their current residency. This may be done in the form of a tax bill, rental lease, mortgage statement, or utility bill. If you are new to the Delmar community from the previous year or move at any time, you are required to provide the school with documentation indicating your current address. Due to federal audit requirements, we must have accurate and updated POR for all students. Families that have registered under shared residency status must show proof of residency every year and contact the school office as soon as any change in residency occurs. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact the school office. The school may require an updated POR at any time. It is requirement to ensure that Delmar Elementary School serves the students who live within our school district. Please help us in this effort. If you are aware of families living outside our school district who have attended Delmar Elementary this year, help us ensure our enrollment figures are genuine by giving the office this information. The information will be investigated prior to school opening next year. It is not necessary that you provide your name with the information given. You may also call 410-677-5251 and not give your name. PUBLICITY OPT-OUT FORMS The county will be issuing publicity opt out forms to all students at the start of the school year. This form incorporates the internet along with the usual media avenues (newspaper and television). These will be collected and submitted to the office. Students’ photos or video images may be used by the school/district unless a Publicity Opt-Out form is signed by a parent and submitted to the school office. QUESTIONING Challenging questions are critical to helping students understand content on a deeper level. Good questions contain a mixture of higher and lower level thinking skills, as each is important (i.e. knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation). Question stems are useful to ensure appropriate rigor of questions and are available from your child’s teacher or administration.
