Parking and Child Pick-Up
The Hansom Street parking lot is designated as the parking lot for parents
and visitors. Bus Aides have been instructed to challenge any adult who
tries to take a child off a bus. The adult will be directed to the
Office and after proper identification, a note will be issued for the Bus Aide
to permit the child to get off the bus to go with the adult. In this way, we
can better account for all children.

Early Pick-Up
No one may take a child out of school unless directed by a parent. A
note must be sent to school stating that the child will be picked up and by
whom. Children will be picked up in the Office NOT in the classroom.
|
|
Bicycles
The students are to place their bikes in the bike racks. The students
are responsible for locking their bikes. The Board of Education
prohibits the use of skateboards, snowboards, roller skates/blades on school
grounds at any time.

Visiting the School
Parents entering the school between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM should park in the
front parking lot and immediately check in with the Office. If your
child has forgotten money, lunch etc., the Office will notify the teacher by
intercom and your child will be sent to the Office to pick up the item.

Trips - Class or Field
When a school trip is planned, a form will be sent home for the parent to
sign. This permission slip must be returned before a child may go on the
trip with the class. A parent may not take another child home after a
trip without a note from the other child's parent.

|
Lost and Found
Children should inquire at the Office about possessions lost at
school. A separate "Lost and Found" for lunch boxes and
clothing is maintained in the cafeteria. Parents may find it advisable
to check the "Lost and Found" themselves from time to time.
Parents are urged to label clothing and shoes so that they may be easily
identified.

Winter Time
Dress your child appropriately. Since we do try to have the children
go outside after lunch for a short time, weather permitting, we do suggest
that boots, gloves, heavy clothing and outdoor clothing be worn to school.
