Dress Code In warm weather very short skirts or short pants (i.e. above mid thigh), cropped shirts (i.e. shirts which expose the stomach area) “tube tops” and some tank tops (i.e. “spaghetti straps”) are not suitable for school. Backless sandals pose a threat to safety in crowded halls and staircases (no rubber “thongs” or “flip flops” please!) and are prohibited. Wearing pajama tops and pajama pants are not appropriate for school. In cold weather students should wear warm clothing, including long sleeved shirts, sweaters and sweatshirts. Appropriate outerwear is expected which would include hats, coats and hoods. On rainy days waterproof coats and hats are necessary. Umbrellas are discouraged since they can create a safety hazard in school. |
“The Discipline Code” The Discipline Code provides comprehensive guidelines for determining unacceptable behaviors. In providing a range of permissible disciplinary measures, the Code ensures both consistency and equitable treatment for all students and enables principals and superintendents to exercise discretion and educational judgment. The Discipline Code has been distributed to all parents. However you can click on the following link to view the Draft version of the code. |
Attendance Policy It is universally accepted that regular school attendance is the foundation upon which successful educational and social development are based. It is expected that all students will attend school every day unless, of course, personal illness prohibits it. It is also expected that all students arrive at school on time. Chronic absence and lateness is unacceptable. Please remember that attendance is a criteria from promotion. An “absent note” must be given to the classroom teacher upon a child’s return. The note must explain the student’s absence and be signed by a parent or guardian. |
Homework Policy Homework provides a meaningful extension of the day’s lesson or preparation for planned activities. Assignments are carefully planned to provide higher-level thinking skills. Homework is assigned daily, Monday through Thursday. Teachers will use discretion when assigning work on weekends and during vacations. The basic rule-of-thumb is that homework time on task should increase by ten minutes each year: Kindergarten – 10 minutes Homework is checked daily by the teacher. Students must begin homework assignments with a proper school heading when appropriate. Work must be neatly and carefully completed. Parents should match assignments to completed work each night and sign homework. Students should read or be “read to” for pleasure at home each day. Parents will be notified promptly via phone or letter of failure to complete homework assignments. |
Translation Services are available in 8 designated languages. |
School Trips It is the discretion of each teacher to plan class trips that support and augment their curriculum throughout the year. Students must have written permission to go on a class trip. Verbal permission is not acceptable. Parent chaperones are needed on every trip. We encourage all students to attend class trips, however, disruptive students must be accompanied by a parent or adult guardian. |
Care of School Property We are very proud of our building, equipment and school grounds. Please encourage your children to take care of school property. The cooperation of parents and school staff members is needed to help students learn to respect books, materials, furnishing, equipment and grounds. |
Assembly Dress Assembly programs will be scheduled throughout the school year. Proper behavior is expected at all assemblies. Assembly Dress is required on assembly days. Boys: Navy Blue Pants White Shirt Red Tie (Optional) Girls: Navy Blue Skirt or Pants White Blouse    |
