Prince Street Elementary 2023-2024

2 To enter the office, please park in the main parking lot (front lot) and ring the bell to enter. You will need to state your name and purpose for entering. For the continued safety of all scholars, in order for a student to be dismissed or picked up in a different manner than their normal way home, a note will need to be sent in to the main office. If there is no note, the scholars will have to be dismissed their normal way. When your student needs to leave early, please help us by sending a note saying what time they are to be dismissed. Your child will then give the note to their teacher and they will send it down with the attendance for the day. Please do not call the office asking us to have your child ready. Instructional time is very important and the student should be in class as much as possible. Thank you for your assistance.

Due to recent school safety concerns and the unfortunate events that have happened in schools across our nation, we will move forward this year as we did last year. While we want our parents and visitors to be welcome in our school, we also want to be able to ensure the integrity of safety for everyone. As a result, all parents and visitors wishing to visit a classroom are asked to contact the school and obtain permission from the principal or principal designee prior to their entry. This will enable us to monitor the number of individuals in the building at one time and their location for security purposes. We will still be hosting school events such as parent nights, specific award ceremonies, concerts, and other events where families and visitors are welcome. You will be notified of these events in our school newsletter as well as our Sunday night calls. Teachers on each grade level will also be hosting specific events throughout the year where you will be invited to come in to see a special activity or project your child is working on in the classroom. As you know, school safety and security is the top priority for all students and staff in our building. We greatly appreciate your understanding of our desire and need to keep your child(ren) and our staff as safe as possible. • Parents/guardians interested in seeing a specific class or in visiting on a particular day should first check with the scholars’ teacher so they can advise of best times to come or any times when it’s better not to come, such as when a field trip, student assembly or testing is scheduled. • Present a driver’s license or other government-issued photo ID to sign in and receive a visitor sticker to wear when visiting during the school day. This routine screening with the Raptor system takes place whether one visitor is coming through the office or 50 visitors, so please allow time for this important step to protect the safety of our scholars. When done, please exit through main office and turn visitor sticker in. • Only authorized visitors may come into our school to visit a student. For someone other than a parent/guardian to visit, a parent/guardian must make a written request to the school at least 48 hours prior to the person’s visit. All visitors must be over age 21. Unless the school has planned babysitting services, please do not bring young children or strollers with you during your visit. Questions should be directed to the school principal.
