4 Our school seeks to serve the needs and best interests of each student; therefore, it is our goal to help scholars in problem situations. If you have a problem, please contact the following persons: 1. Contact the child’s teacher. 2. Contact the School Counselor, Student Advisor or Dean of Students. 3. Contact the Assistant Principals or Principal. Our school operates on a 6-day cycle, A through F days for scheduling special area classes. Art, music, band, strings, T.A.D, enrichment, and physical education will be scheduled for letter days rather than days of the week. For instance, your child might have PE on A, C, E days. As tennis shoes are required for physical education classes, it is suggested that your child wear (or bring) his/her tennis shoes daily rather than risk a zero for improper shoes. If your child needs to take medication in school, he/she must have a Physician’s Medical Order Form. This applies to all prescription medications as well as all over the counter medications. We are not allowed to administer any medications without this form. This includes cough drops. There are scholars who require emergency medication in school such as inhalers for chronic asthma and Epi-pens for severe allergic reactions. For your child’s safety, please have your doctor fill out the Medical Order Form and bring the order and the medication to our school nurse as soon as possible so that, in case of an emergency, we will be able to help your child. If we have no way to help, our only alternative is to call 911. Please be reminded that all medications must be brought to school by an adult. If you have any questions about medication, please contact our school nurse. In order to increase safety this year, we will be implementing the School Dismissal Manager app. Bus riders: Scholars are expected to ride their regular bus home unless a change of schedule is completed in the School Dismissal Manager app. Car Riders: Everyone picking up a scholar in the car rider line will need to scan the QR code as they enter. The QR code will allow you to begin scanning and entering the line at 1:30pm. Scholars who arrive and/or depart by car every day OR scholars who arrive and/or depart by car on particular day(s) must indicate this information in the School Dismissal Manager app. Walkers: Scholars who are walkers will be dismissed last. Any parent waiting on the sidewalk or on Spring Avenue to pick up their child will need to scan the QR code on the sidewalk and wait for their scholar to exit. Scholars may not be dismissed from the classroom without a confirmation call from the office. Please sign out your child in the office and he/she will be called to meet you in the lobby.
