JOIN OUR VILLAGE! Northwestern Elementary is very blessed to have support from our families and community. Our Village actively supports our students and families. For example, throughout the school year our Village will host fundraisers that support our school in the following ways: • Field Day • Volunteering • Classroom Materials • Staff Appreciation J K KEEPING SAFE- Fire/Safety Drills Practice safety drills are conducted within the first two weeks of school and at any other time deemed necessary. Unannounced drills are conducted on a regular basis throughout the year. If you are in the school during a drill or emergency, please follow the instructions given to you by school personnel. Drills of this nature are practiced with the children and staff to ensure their safety and well-being. Our goal is for every child to feel safe and prepared if a situation arises during the school day. Please assist us with making sure your child understands the importance of these drills. L LAPTOPS & ELECTRONIC DEVICES Each student will be assigned a Wicomico County Board of Education laptop to assist them with the completion of assignments in school and at home. The laptop must travel to and from school with them as directed by the classroom teacher. All students will be responsible for providing appropriate care for the device. We ask that you please assist your child by ensuring: • Laptops and chargers go home as directed by the classroom teacher. • Students utilize two hands when carrying the device. • Food and drinks are kept away from the device. • The device is used to complete instructional tasks only. A technology agreement is reviewed at the beginning of the school year. Families will be held financially accountable for damaged laptops as deemed preventable by the school administration team. Students are not permitted to have personal electronic devices on while on school property. If an electronic device is out, it will be brought to an administrator, and a parent/guardian will need to pick it up.
