Delmar Elementary Student Handbook 2023-2024

Page | 7 o Students who bring in a note to be picked up will wait in the car rider area. Since these parents will not have car rider tags, staff will verify IDs to ensure that the name on the note matches the pick-up person. o As in the past, we ask that all cars turn right out of the parking lot, so a back-up does not occur Additional Information: o Please keep car tags in a safe place for daily use. Cars without rearview mirror tags will be delayed until verification can be confirmed. o Parents who must pick students up prior to 2:45 p.m. must still report to the main office to sign the student out. o Daycare providers who pick up children from multiple families each day will be provided with a car tag that lists all ID numbers of children they have permission to pick up. This is only done after documentation is provided by the parent. o If you lose your car tag or your child loses their backpack tag, it must be replaced at a cost of $3.00 each. o Parents/Individuals will only be permitted to pick up children with matching car/backpack tags. If a parent wants another car rider parent to pick up their child, a note must be sent to school. We ask that this not occur often. These procedures are only intended for students who are car riders every day at dismissal and for those that send in a note that their child will be a car rider on a specific day. CELL PHONES WCBOE policy prohibits cell phones in schools at the elementary level. Although we know that students may have phones at school for safety reasons, they must be kept off and in bookbags. If they are visible or are heard during the day, they will be confiscated by the teacher and stored in the office until a parent can retrieve them. CLOSING/CANCELLATIONS Occasionally school must open late, close early or be cancelled. Announcements concerning any changes in the regular school schedules will be made on the automated School Messenger system and the following radio and television stations.
