please call or send a note in order to schedule the time. Each student will receive a progress report mid-way through each of the four marking terms. The progress report is also available to families on Family Portal. VISITORS So that the office personnel may have the opportunity to officially greet all parents/guardians, all parents/guardians are asked to come to the school office to register before visiting the school. A notice to this effect is posted on each entrance door of Wicomico County Schools. In addition to allowing us the opportunity to meet visitors to our school, this policy provides for the protection of our students and staff. If a parent/guardian needs to bring something to school for their child or need to confer with the child during the school day, all parents/guardians are asked to report to the office. The office personnel will be glad to provide the parent/guardian with a “Visitor’s Pass” and/or assist in any other way. FIELD TRIPS Field trips are scheduled as part of the students’ educational program. Permission slips must be signed by a parent/guardian before students are permitted to leave the school. All money paid for a field trip is non-refundable. MEDIA RELEASE There are occasions throughout the school year when students are involved in activities and events which receive favorable media/newspaper coverage. We are proud to share students’ accomplishments as we hope you are. If you do not wish for your child to have their photo published on social media or other media outlets, please contact the school to opt-out of this opportunity. CELL PHONES/PERSONAL ELECTRONICS Any personal electronics including, but not limited to cell phones, smart watches, tablets, etc. may not be accessed by students from 8:45-4:15 daily. Students who bring such devices to school will be required to turn them off and place them in their backpacks. Students will not be permitted to carry/wear these electronic devices at school. If a student is seen with one of these items, they will be asked to place it in their backpack. If the item continues to cause distractions, it will be confiscated, and a parent will be required to pick it up from the main office after notification. FIS is not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged cell phones or personal electronic devices. PBIS Our school supports our students and their positive behaviors through the Positive Behavior Intervention Supports (PBIS). This initiative supports and rewards positive behaviors to students who are caught doing the right thing. Students earn punches on their skipjack card from staff for positive behavior. Once a card is filled with punches, they can earn monthly incentives, purchase items from their classroom store, or earn other rewards. School-wide and hallway rules, cafeteria procedures, bus ramp expectations, attendance, and other sections of this document support this initiative. SKATEBOARDS Leave at home your skateboards, skates, rollerblades, roller shoes and any other wheeled contraptions. TOYS
