Emergency Forms
The Board of Education has established a policy that every student must have an Emergency Form completed and signed by their parent in order to participate in any activity in or off school grounds.
The Emergency Form is provided at the time of enrollment and at the beginning of each school year. Failure to return the completed form to the school will jeopardize a students safety.
A new form (sent home on the first day of school) must be filled out each year with accurate up-to-date phone numbers of people who can be reached in case of an emergency.
It is the parents responsibility to immediately notify the school office of address or phone number changes.
School Policies
Picking up a student during school hours
No student will be allowed to leave school prior to dismissal time without a written and or personal permission from the parents.
Students will only be released to those persons listed on the emergency form kept in the office.
If you are picking up your student during the school day, you must sign them out in the office. The secretary will call the classroom for your student. Your student will meet you in the school office.
Personal Deliveries
Parents may leave items for their son/daughter in the main office.
Personal deliveries are not to be made to individual classrooms.
The purpose of this policy is to minimize class interruption and insure the safety of our students.
Visitors
Visitors, particularly parents, are welcome at the school.
In order to properly monitor the safety of the students and staff, each visitor must report to the office upon entering the building to sign in and receive a pass.
Any visitor found in the building without a pass shall be asked to return to the office.
If a person wishes to confer with a member of the staff, he/she should call for an appointment prior to coming to the school, in order to schedule a mutually convenient time.
Students may not bring visitors to the school without prior written permission from the Principal.
School Attendance Policy
Regular attendance and punctuality in school gives students the best chance of benefiting from the instructional program. Experiences missed because of absence cannot be made up adequately. It is the intent of the school to enforce the following rules and regulations for attendance:
Parents are asked to call the school before 8:45 AM when their child is going to be absent.
Students are not expected to miss more than ten (10) days during a semester.
Attendance will be reviewed by the Principal when a student misses more than ten (10) days in a semester. A letter will be sent in the mail informing the parents/guardians of the ten (10) days of absences.
Student absences are reported to parents on progress reports and report cards as well as upon request.
The following factors should be considered in determining a students dress and grooming:
- Cleanliness and other aspects of personal hygiene
- Make-up is strongly discouraged
- Decency and modesty
- Clothing with inappropriate logos are not permitted
- Hats are NOT to be worn in the school building
- Shoes (or slippers with teacher approval) must be worn at all times. Shoes that are not secure on the feet or have platform soles are a safety hazard and should not be worn to school (i.e., flip-flops or floppy sandals).
Calling the office to send messages to your child should be kept to a minimum. We want to ensure an educational environment with as few disruptions as possible. Please make every effort to remind your children of any special after-school arrangements before they leave home. It is best in these cases to write a note to your child and/or teacher.
Office telephones are not to be used for personal calls.
Students may not bring to school a pocket pager, cellular telephone, or other electronic devices
Computer Technology
Before any student may take advantage of the schools computer network and the internet, he/she and his/her parents must sign an agreement which defines the conditions under which the student may participate. Failure to abide by all of the terms of the agreement may lead to termination of the students computer account and possible disciplinary action.
Accidents
Students involved in minor accidents (small cuts, scratches, etc.) will be cared for by school personnel.
Students should report injuries to a teacher or the office.
If medical attention is required, the office will follow the schools emergency procedures. The office will notify the parents using the information on the Emergency Form.
Illness
A student who becomes ill during the school day should request permission from a teacher to go to the office, where parents will be notified.
It is the parents responsibility to make arrangements for proper care of an ill student. The school does not have the facilities or personnel to provide sick care for students.
Students will only be released to those persons listed on the Emergency Form.
Students with specific health care needs should deliver written notice about such needs along with proper documentation by a physician to the School Office.
Use of Medication
In those circumstances where a student must take prescribed medication during the school day, the following guidelines are to be observed:
The school staff cannot dispense medication (including aspirin, cough drops etc.) without a parent and/or doctor signed medication form on file.
A parent must bring the medication in its original container to the office where it will be administered to the child by a staff member.
Any change in medication requires filling out a new form.
Students suspected of lice infestation will be examined at school. If an individual is found to have lice infestation, he/she will be excluded from school until treatment is given. The child will be re-examined upon return to school and the hair must be considered to be nit-free. Parents will be notified if a student in their child's classroom has lice.
Student Safety
Student safety is the responsibility of the staff. All staff members are familiar with emergency procedures such as fire and tornado drills and accident reporting procedures.
Should a student be aware of any dangerous situation or accident, he/she must notify any staff person immediately.
The school complies with all safety laws and will conduct fire drills in accordance with State Laws.
Tornado Drills will be conducted during the tornado season using the procedures provided by the State of Michigan.
Lock down will be conducted during the school year using the procedures provided by the State of Michigan.
We provide lockdown drills in order to best prepare in the event of any emergency situation.
During a lock down drill or an actual lock down the building will be locked and secured from the outside and it is required for all parents to follow school procedures set up to ensure our students safety.
