time during the school year. If a parent/guardian wants to meet with the child’s teacher, he/she must contact the school office or the teacher to arrange for an appointment. The teacher will either confirm the time requested or reschedule an appointment at a mutually agreeable time. Please do not use school gatherings as times to conduct conferences. Teachers and parents/guardians can share information and discuss ideas more effectively in a more private setting. Parents/guardians should expect teachers to contact them when a student’s performance reflects a failing grade, no homework, poor test scores, etc. STUDENT INSURANCE At the beginning of each school year, parents/guardians may purchase an accident insurance policy from a reputable commercial firm. Two options of coverage are available and include the following: school related accidents and 24-hour coverage. In the event of an accident at school, students would be covered by either policy. STUDENT CAR RIDER ARRIVAL PROCEDURES Student drop-off at the beginning of the day: Enter the parking lot, loop around the back of the building, keep right and pull as far forward as you are safely able. Have your student ready to leave the vehicle promptly, and when it is safe, he or she may exit on the right to the sidewalk, then in the building, as directed. Do not drop off your student from the travel lane. STUDENT CAR RIDER DISMISSAL PROCEDURES Enter the parking lot, loop around the back of the building, keep right and pull forward. You will be directed to form two dismissal lines. Students who usually get picked up will have a number assigned to them that must be associated with the number tag that we issue to the parent. This number tag must be displayed on the mirror. Students will be dismissed from the front west exit. Drivers must remain in their vehicles and exit the school grounds when students are safely in the vehicle to keep the line moving quickly. For safety reasons, you may not park your car in the parking lot and come into the office to sign out your child. Students will only be released to the cars with appropriate tags. Parents may not sign students out of the front office between 3:00 – 3:45. BIKE RIDERS There is a bicycle rack provided for students who ride their bikes to school. It is located on the west side of the building. After parking your bike, be sure that it is secured with a lock attached to the rack. We require all students to walk their bicycles while on school property and we encourage all to wear helmets while riding. BUS LOT PROCEDURES Buses are boarded in the bus loading area on the east side of the building. We expect students to exit the building and to board the assigned bus immediately. You must have prior permission before boarding a bus other than your normal means of transportation. A note from your parent or guardian must request permission. The note is to contain your name, reason for request, date when riding, bus number, and parent’s signature. Submit it to the office at the beginning of the day for approval and a
