Students may report directly to their classroom beginning at 7:45 in the morning on rainy days.
We understand growing trends include cell phones for students. Please remember to observe the proper use of cell phones for students. Cell phones must be powered off and not visible on campus. Students may use their cell phone outside the school's gate before or after school to text message or make phone calls. This includes watches that have phone calling capabilities. Students may not bring music players or portable electronic games.
Education Code only allows for two classroom parties with food for the entire year. As a result of the limitation, teachers will not be able to host birthday party celebrations with food. Food items for whole class parties must be purchased from a store and meet mandated nutritional guidelines: Homemade treats are not allowed.
If you want to recognize your student’s birthday throughout the year, please speak with his/her teacher directly about appropriate alternatives for the classroom. Gift items for the students are only distributed at the end of the day. Teachers will not be able to accept items dropped off without prior permission.
We do not distribute balloons or flowers. Save these for off campus for your student.
In an effort to promote student responsibility, prioritize academic instruction, and eliminate possible disciplinary risks, students must have their work completed prior to the field trip in order to be eligible to participate. In most cases, the teacher will alert the family or student if their participation in the field trip is in jeopardy. Students may be excluded if their presence would pose a safety or disciplinary risk.
Popular trends in clothing styles and fashion are not always compatible with appropriate dress for school. Pants must fit snugly around the waist. Midriffs must be covered and skirts must be at a length to allow for tasteful freedom of movement in all activities. Shirts must have straps or sleeves; no tube tops. In addition, please make sure your child is wearing close-toe-shoes, which allow for mobility of the child and protection for the feet. Sandals, flip-flops and platform shoes should not be worn at school. Clothing should not disrupt the educational learning environment.
