Delmar Student Handbook 26-27

assign grades, and families receive score reports after each testing period. Results are used to set individualized growth goals, helping students track their progress and take ownership of their learning. For specific details about which assessments your student(s) will participate in, please refer to the District Evidence of Learning Timeline. Attendance Coming to school every day is very important. Full day attendance requires a student to be in class for a minimum of 4 hours. Half day attendance requires a minimum of 2 hours in class. Our goal is to have 100% participation of students attending school every day. We realize there are times when a student may be ill, making attendance impossible, but we are asking you to help us reach this goal by scheduling trips, appointments, etc. at times when school is not in session. This will allow your child to come to school every day unless they are ill. A note is requested for each absence, doctors’ and parental notes will be accepted. Students are not permitted to exceed 5 parent notes per year, after which a doctor’s note will be required for each absence. A valid note may be applied towards counting an absence as excused, but all absences excused or unexcused will be recorded for the child’s records. All notes need to be turned in prior to the end of each marking term. Details regarding the county attendance policy and steps the school will take in regard to student attendance can be found on the district website under Attendance Policy and Procedures. To help us maintain accurate attendance records and provide timely support when needed, we ask that absences, especially those extending beyond a single day, be reported directly to the front office. Families will still receive the automated attendance call that is sent each day at 10:00 a.m.; unfortunately, this system cannot be interrupted, even when we have already been notified of a student's absence. Birthdays/Celebrations Please note that if you choose to bring in treats, the treats must be store bought & preferably individually wrapped and packaged. All treats will be distributed at lunch only and must be brought in prior to the scheduled lunch time. No treats will be distributed in the classroom. To help us celebrate students with the least disruption, birthday treats should consist of one simple treat per student and should not include parties, favor bags, decorations, or other celebration items. Breakfast Breakfast is free for all students again this year and will be available for students to pick up on the way to their classroom. A breakfast menu is available on the county food service website. Students arriving after 8:05 will not receive breakfast. No breakfast will be served on 90-Minute delay days.
