1.
WHAT IS A CYCLE DAY?
Our daily schedule will be
operating by way of a “5 DAY CYCLE,” as
opposed to the traditional Monday
through Friday concept. By using a 5
DAY CYCLE, we avoid missing special
subjects (Art, Music, Physical
Education, and Library) on days when
school is not in session (snow days,
vacation days, etc.).The first day of
school will be “DAY 1,” as opposed to
“MONDAY.” The second day of school
will be “DAY 2;” the third day will be
“DAY 3,” and so forth. The cycle will
repeat itself every five days. In order
to prevent any confusion, the “DAY” will
be posted on the lunch menu and in the
school lobby. |
2.
WHEN CAN STUDENTS ARRIVE AT SCHOOL?
Children should not be dropped off at school
prior to 8:30 AM,
and at 8:35 they will be admitted to the school
building. All students must be in their
classrooms by 9:00 AM, which is the start of
the school day. If your child arrives at school
after 9:00 AM, he/she is considered tardy.
Please accompany your child to the office upon
arrival.
3.
WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE
PICKED UP?
Parents who want to pick up their
child at the end of the day (3:40 PM) should
send a note to the teacher that morning so that
the child is not placed on the bus.
Children who do not have notes will be expected
to board the bus. ALL parents are expected
to come into the building to “sign out their
child”. Parents will meet their
child(ren)
in the gym.
4.
WHAT IF
MY CHILD FORGOT SOMETHING AT SCHOOL?
Students are not permitted to return
to the classroom for forgotten items after 4:00
PM. Teachers lock their classroom doors
when they leave for the day to insure the safety
of the belongings of both the children and the
teacher. Custodians are assigned to various
parts of the building and are not available to
unlock doors to obtain forgotten items. It is
the responsibility of the children (not parents)
to remember to take home any items that they
will need for that evening’s work. In the event
of forgotten assignments, textbooks, etc.,
children should make arrangements with a
classmate to borrow the needed items.
5.
WHAT
IF MY CHILD WILL BE
ABSENT? -
If your child will be absent from school,
please call the “Absentee Phone Line” by 9:00
AM. 610-705-6009 option 4 and state
the date, your child’s name, your child’s
teacher, and the reason for the absence.
6. WHAT
IS THE PROCEDURE FOR EXCUSE NOTES?
When a child is absent from school a note
written by the parent or guardian must be
submitted to the classroom teacher within
three days of the child’s return to school
or the absence will be considered unlawful.
This is in addition to calling the Absentee
Phone Line. Blank excuse notes can be found
here.
7.
WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE
FOR EDUCATIONAL TRIPS?
Any parent who wishes to take a child out of
school for the purpose of an educational trip
must complete and submit for approval an
educational trip form
at least five (5) days prior
to the start of the trip. Any work missed
must be completed in a timely manner.
8.
WHAT ABOUT BUSING?
Students are NOT permitted to ride a
different bus to or from school. Arrangements
for traveling to or from another student’s home
must be worked out between parents. |
