4 CHANGES TO STUDENT/PARENT INFORMATION Many times, families change telephone numbers or cell phone numbers, change jobs, and even move during the school year and forget to let the school know. It is vital that we have a current address and contact information for your family in case your child becomes ill or injured during the school day. We also need to be able to contact you via School Messenger in the event of a weather delay or dismissal, field trip arrival change, etc. Please contact the school office to make any necessary changes to your address, telephone contacts, or emergency contacts throughout the school year. If you move out of the Pittsville district at any time, Special Permission must be requested for your child to finish the year with us. Approval is not guaranteed, but we will do our best to accommodate our families. Transportation must be provided by the parent/guardian of a student on Special Permission. Forms are available in the school office for your convenience. DANCE CRITERIA To attend the dances at PEMS the following must be met: • Must have a 2.0 from the last report card. • No more than 2 unexcused absences from the time of the last dance or from the first day of school for the first dance of the year. • No Out-of-School Suspensions in the semester that the dance is being held. • Students must be in school the day of the dance. • The dance is for PEMS students only, no outside students from other schools may attend. DISCIPLINE In order for quality instruction to take place in a safe environment, students must be respectful of one another and of adults at all times. It is expected that students follow the schoolwide expectations of being respectful, responsible, safe, and scholarly in all areas of the school including on the bus and at school sponsored events. Cell Phone and Social media interactions that prove to be disruptive to the learning environment will be considered a discipline issue at the school level even if the offense occurred outside of school hours. DRESS CODE See the Dress Code in the Wicomico County Code of Conduct. Students violating the dress code will be asked to change or parents will be notified to bring a change of clothing. HEALTH SERVICES All students who become ill or injured during the school day should report to the school nurse or report to the office. Students are required to report to their class in order to obtain a pass from the teacher. Students will not be seen without a pass. ONLY THE NURSE may determine if the student should go home. If a student is ill enough to be sent home, the nurse will call the parent/guardian to inform him/her of the student’s condition. A student calling/texting requesting to be picked up early does not qualify as an excused dismissal. Upon leaving, the student must be signed out in the office. It may be necessary at times for a student to take medication during the school day. The student must have a PHYSICIAN’S MEDICATION ORDER FORM filled out by the doctor prescribing the drug and a copy of this form must be on file with the nurse. This includes all over the counter and prescription medications. The medication must be kept with the nurse, not on the students’ person. All medications must be provided by the parent, not sent with the student. Students are not permitted to carry medications.
