15 YELLOW COMMUNICATION FOLDER All students at Fruitland Primary School will be provided a “YELLOW” take-home folder. This plastic folder is provided by the school and will contain graded papers and school announcements. Please do not dispose of the folder and ensure that it is returned to the school each morning. If the yellow folder is lost, a replacement fee ($2.00) for a new folder will be charged. AGENDAS Students in grades 1 and 2, will be issued an agenda at the beginning of the school year. This agenda serves two important functions. First, it is where your child will write down his or her nightly homework assignments. Second, it is where your child’s teacher can write notes to you, as well as you can write notes to the teacher. Teachers in grades 1 and 2 check the agendas daily and we ask that you be sure to check your child’s agenda every night. The first agenda for each student each school year will be purchased by the school system. If the agenda is lost, a replacement fee ($5.00) for a new agenda will be charged. AUTOMATED PRERECORDED TELEPHONE MESSAGE SYSTEM The automated and prerecorded telephone message system is used to alert parents of upcoming events within our school and to contact families when children are absent. The automated absence called go out at approximately 10am, these calls cannot be stopped, even if the day has been proactively excused as an absence. The home number listed on the student data form will receive these phone messages. Phone numbers and emails must be accurate in order to receive the messages. Please be sure your phone number is always up to date. These are the same numbers we will turn to if your child is involved in an accident or injury while in school therefore the numbers you give us must be accurate. Please notify us, using an updated student data form each time your email, home, cell or work numbers change! Robo messages will translate into other languages. SCHOOL PICTURES Pictures of individual students are taken in the fall. Class pictures and individual pictures are taken in the spring. Each time they are made available to all parents on a preorder/prepay basis. Every effort has been made to select the most reasonably priced pictures service offered; and everything feasible has been done to see that quality service is provided. Contact information for the photo contractor will be provided upon request or if there are concerns with the picture order once received. FIRE/SAFETY DRILLS Drills will be conducted on a regular basis throughout the school year. If you are in the school when a fire bell rings or an announcement regarding the emergency, please follow the instructions given to you by school personnel. Drills of this nature are practiced with everyone present in the building order to ensure overall school safety and well-being.
