Classroom Visitation We encourage parents to visit their child’s scheduled classroom. As we maintain a safe environment, we request that you sign in at the front office before going to the classroom to receive your yellow sticker that must remain visible at all times. All doors will continue to be locked in classrooms and teachers will be called and notified when a visitor is on their way. In addition, teachers will notify the front office when visitors are leaving the scheduled classroom. The front office staff will ensure the yellow sticker is returned prior to exiting from visitors. Should a conference be needed, a separate mutually agreed time must be scheduled with your child’s teacher; conferences will not be held during a classroom visitation due to instruction. Due to limited spacing within the cafeteria, we request visits to be scheduled prior to and following your child’s assigned lunch time (See lunch shifts under the Daily Schedule of the Pemberton Student Handbook). Please be aware that children preschool age or younger will not be permitted into the instructional areas to avoid disruption. Discipline Each staff member at Pemberton Elementary School accepts responsibility for the maintenance of discipline and for the promotion of a program for the development of wholesome human relations. A student’s behavior should conform to acceptable standards of conduct as established by the Wicomico County Board of Education, administration, and teachers. School Rules 1. Walk in hallways with quiet voices. 2. Toys, balls, cellphones, video games, etc. are not allowed in school unless they are being used as a part of classroom instruction with teacher permission. 3. Inappropriate language, comments, or teasing is not permitted. 4. Good manners should be used throughout the building with adults and students. 5. No physical contact, “play fighting”, or bullying is permitted and are in violation of the Wicomico County Board of Education Discipline Policy. 6. Bicycles and skateboards are not to be ridden to school due to safety concerns on Pemberton Drive. Fire Drills/Crisis Drills Every precaution is taken to ensure the safety of each student during normal school hours. Periodic fire and crisis drills are executed to make certain students learn proper safety procedures and adhere to all safety guidelines.
