Conference with supervisor of transportation, parent, student, and driver if deemed necessary. 4th offense: Automatic 30 school days off the bus. 5th offense: Automatic removal for the remainder of the year. EMERGENCY INFORMATION Personal Data/Emergency Information sheets will be sent home with the back-toschool letter that is mailed to each student in August. It is imperative that all sheets be returned and fully completed. Emergency situations can arise rather frequently in a school this size. For your child’s health and safety, it is CRUCIAL that we have CURRENT emergency contact information. Please remember that it is imperative that a new form be completed with each family/household change. FAMILY TRIPS Please try to schedule trips during times when school is not in session. These absences interfere with the students’ learning process and hurt the school in our attempt to achieve our required attendance percentage for the school and state. The county guideline for elementary students is as follows: While it is necessary that a trip cannot be considered a legal reason to be absent from school. It is felt that under the following circumstances, no punitive actions would be taken: Parents should complete and submit the “Non-Emergency Absence” form well in advance of the trip, designating the length of the absence. These forms can be found in the main office. All arrangements for homework, tests, quizzes, etc. should be worked out with the individual teacher a week in advance. Students are expected to complete all make-up work within a reasonable length of time, which will be determined by the teacher. Principals are authorized to approve up to 3 days as excused for approved family trips per school year. The trip should have an apparent and defined educational value for the student. HOMEWORK A good homework assignment is one that makes use of the creative potential of the student. It should vary from one grade level to the next in the amount of time required. To be meaningful, the assignment must be consistent with the attention span of the learner. Homework is an extension of work introduced by the classroom teacher. When your child does have a homework assignment, you can assist by doing the following: Provide a quiet workspace with all necessary supplies. Set a time and routine for doing homework each night.
