ARRIVAL AT SCHOOL Students may enter the building at 7:30 A.M.. If you are part of Zero Hour at Garfield you may enter the building at 7:15. ATTENDANCE & ABSENCES 1) Regular school attendance is important if a child is to make satisfactory progress in school. 2) When a child is absent from school the parent should contact the school office stating the reason for the absence. 3) When the student returns, he or she must bring a note signed by the parent, or guardian, stating the reason for their absence if the office was not notified. 4) The office will also contact parents of those students who do not bring a note in or call. 5) Attendance problems with truancy will be referred to the proper authorities -- Parents will be informed by the school when their student has three unexcused absences in a nine weeks, five unexcused days within a semester, or seven unexcused absences during the school year. Excused absences: severe weather, personal illness, death in the family, medical/legal appointments, pre-arranged absence requested by parent and approved by the administration. (In compliance with the Truancy and Compulsory Attendance Law K.S.A. 72-1113) BULLYING/HARASSMENT POLICY (JDDC) USD 402 ANTI-BULLYING PLAN The USD 402 Board of Education Anti-Bullying Policy JDDC prohibits acts of bullying. (Approved August 20, 2007) Demonstration of appropriate behavior, treating others with civility and respect, and refusing to tolerate bullying behavior is expected of administrators, faculty, staff, and volunteers to provide positive examples for student behavior.

DEFINITION Bullying Behaviors are:

● Intentional, and largely unprovoked, efforts to harm another ● Repeated negative actions by one or more against another ● Imbalance of physical or psychological power ● Negative action can be physical or verbal, and direct or indirect in nature including

electronically transmitted acts – i.e. internet, cell phone, personal digital assistant (PDA), or wireless hand held device.

EXPECTATIONS

The USD 402 Board of Education believes that standards for student behavior must be set cooperatively through interaction among the students, parents and guardians, staff, and community members of the school district, producing an atmosphere that encourages students to grow in self-discipline. The development of this atmosphere requires respect for self and others, as well as for district and community property on the part of students, staff, and community members.

CONSEQUENCES

Consequences for a student who commits an act of bullying shall be unique to the individual incident and will vary in method and severity according to the nature of the behavior, the developmental age of the student, and the student’s history of problem behaviors and performance, and must be consistent with the Board of Education’s approved code of student conduct. Consequences may include, but are not limited to: detention, suspension, or expulsion. Remedial measures shall be designed to: correct the problem

behavior, prevent another occurrence of the behavior, and protect the victim of the act. Effective discipline should employ a school-wide approach.

COMPLAINT PROCESS The USD 402 Board of Education requires the principal and/or designee at each school to be responsible for receiving complaints alleging bullying behaviors. All school employees are required to report alleged bullying behaviors to the principal and/or designee. All other members of the school community, including students, parents, volunteers, and visitors, are encouraged to report any act that may be deemed a bullying behavior. The USD 402 Board of Education requires the principal and/or designee to be responsible for determining whether an alleged act constitutes bullying behavior. In so doing, the principal and/or designee shall conduct a prompt, thorough, and complete investigation of each alleged incident. When appropriate, these offenses will be reported to law enforcement officials using the district approved form. BUS RIDERS 1.) Only rural bus riders will be allowed on the route buses. Exceptions are allowed if the school has in writing a permission slip from the parents explaining why the student needs to be on the bus. 2.) Bus riding is a privilege and may be revoked if students do not follow the rules. 3.) State law prohibits the transportation of animals on a school bus. COLD WEATHER POLICY - OUTSIDE PARTICIPATION 1) All students will go out for recess unless the temperature dips below wind-chill of 15 degrees F. 2) If a student has a health condition that requires staying in, a medical excuse signed by a doctor will need to be filed with the school nurse. 3) Dress your children appropriately for cold weather (including hats, gloves, and extra footwear if snow is on the ground). COSTS FOR REPLACEMENT OF LOST/DESTROYED TEXTBOOKS New Book: Replacement cost of book 2nd year: Replacement cost of book 3rd year: 2/3 cost of book 4th year: 1/2 cost of book 5th year: 1/2 cost of book CRISIS DRILLS (JGFA) Fire drills will be held monthly at various times of the day and in compliance with Kansas State Fire Marshal Codes. Tornado drills will be held in the Fall and Spring and also follow the Fire Marshal Codes. Other drills will follow the district guidelines. CRISIS PLAN (JGEAA) The USD 402 Board-approved Crisis Plan will be followed as the event arises. Each building has a designated relocation/safe area. DELIVERIES (JL)

3

Flowers, Valentine’s presents, and other gifts for individual students will be kept in the office until the end of the school day. DISCIPLINE (BOE Policy JCD) The District Discipline Policy will govern the discipline of children in USD 402. We will continue to encourage students to be responsible, practice self-control, be cooperative with others, and show respect.

Talented, Responsible, and Cooperative Kids Succeed. School Standards:

T = Treat everyone politely R = Respect property A = Always be prepared C = Create a safe place to learn K = Keep trying because- S = Success starts with me

Parent Expectations:

o See that my child is on time and attends school regularly o Support the school’s guidelines (rules) o Make sure my child’s schoolwork is completed o Attend regularly scheduled parent/teacher conferences o Provide a quiet place where my child can study or read o Encourage my child to read to me, with me, or independently each night for 10 to 15 minutes

Student Expectations:

o Take pride in my schoolwork and do my best work at all times o Be responsible for my schoolwork o Cooperate with others in the class and on the playground o Show respect to others and follow school rules

Classroom Expectations: Each classroom teacher will have guidelines and procedures for students to follow. These guidelines will be distributed to students and parents at the beginning of the school year. If a student chooses not to follow the set guidelines there will be consequences for the inappropriate behavior. If a student is sent to the office for a major infraction of the school-wide discipline plan the student will complete the Problem Solving worksheet provided by the teacher or staff member who referred the student to the office. The principal, teacher, parents, and student will meet about the inappropriate behavior and will determine appropriate corrective measures. All records of office referrals will be used for school improvement and MTSS behavior management during data-driven dialogue. Office: When a student is sent to the office, a referral form (Problem Solving worksheet) will be completed by the student and signed by the teacher, parent, and principal. The principal will follow the administrative guidelines as set by USD 402 Board of Education Policy. Severe infractions (swearing, fighting, stealing, destruction of property, disruptive/disreputable conduct, cheating, insubordination, bullying/harassment, weapons, tobacco, alcohol or drugs, or defiance) will be referred to the principal on the USD 402 Student Office Referral Form. The principal will assign the consequences based on the level of severity.

The principal will follow the administrative guidelines and the USD 402 Board of Education approved policy pertaining to student conduct and discipline as listed in Power School and the Kansas Department of Education KAN Dis(Kansas Discipline) Reports. DISMISSAL OF SCHOOL 1) School is dismissed at 3:15 p.m. 2) Students are not allowed to play on the playground equipment immediately after school. (There will be no supervision at this time.) 3) The school building is generally locked by 3:45 p.m. 4) If you are going to be late in picking up your child, please let your child know and make the necessary arrangements for another responsible party to pick your child up from school. DRESS CODE/STUDENT DRESS GUIDELINES (BOE Policy JCDB) The primary purpose of the school program is education. A student, in their manner of his/her dress and grooming, must be considerate of others so as not to distract others or cause disruption of the school process. The dress of the student has a definite bearing on his/her behavior and interest in learning. Common sense plays an important role in dress and students should dress for the season. If clothes are deemed inappropriate by the building principal and according to Board of Education policy, then the student will be asked to call home for a change of clothes. 1) It is recommended that all students wear shoes that adhere to the feet for obvious safety and hygiene reasons. 2) All pants should be hemmed and should not drag the ground. Holes in the jeans must be repaired. 3) Shirts cannot have inappropriate words or pictures that are offensive to others. Examples: Displays of alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, violence, obscene language. Spaghetti, halter, strapless, midriff, open back or tank tops, as well as, low/revealing necklines will not be permitted. 4) Clothes should not be excessively tight, large, short, long or low-cut. Send your child in clothing appropriate for school using common sense as a guideline. 5) The hemline of any outfit shall be no higher than 4 inches above the knee or reach mid thigh, with extended fingers be able to reach the bottom of the garment, show no undergarments, and leave no doubt as to the decency of the outfit. 6) No hats, caps, bandannas, chains, or sunglasses will be worn in the school building except on days specifically designated by the building principal. 7) No “skate” shoes (shoes that have roller skates in the soles) may be worn at school. 8) Hair design and color, as with attire and appearance, should not be excessive or disruptive. No colored hair gel except on Halloween. No make-up except on Halloween. 9) The above rules are not all inclusive. Please use common sense and monitor your child’s choice of clothing. If a staff member believes an article of clothing to be questionable, he/she may ask the student not to wear it to school again and/or may contact the parent/guardian to discuss the concern. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding. ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS (BOE policiies JGCB, JBC, & JCB) Kindergarten

Current addresses and phone numbers (both home, office, and emergency) are a must for the nurse as well as the office. If there are any changes during the course of the year please keep us informed. Parents should be watchful of any illness that might be harmful to the children of the school. If your child is diagnosed with any contagious illness, parents should notify the school so we can alert parents of signs and symptoms to watch for in their child/children. Parents desiring to take their child out of school for an illness, or any other reason, should check in at the office and not go directly to the classroom. If you anticipate being out of town during the school year and leaving your children with friends and/or relatives, it is a good idea to leave with them, and the school, a copy of a medical release for treatment for your child during your absence.

10

CHILD ABUSE (GAAD) Principals shall work with DCF and law enforcement agencies to cooperate in investigating reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. EXCLUSIONS FROM SCHOOL DUE TO ILLNESS: If your child becomes ill at school, you will be asked to pick them up from school as soon as possible. While our intent is not to put undue stress on working parents, allowing a child with a contagious illness to remain at school is not in the best interest of the sick child or the other students and staff members. Children must be free of any vomiting, diarrhea, or fever (anything over 100 degrees) for at least 24 hours without the aid of medication before returning to school. There are certain common contagious illnesses that will require a doctor’s note before being able to return to school: strep throat, conjunctivitis (pink-eye), influenza, upper respiratory infections, chicken pox, gastroenteritis (prolonged vomiting/diarrhea), or any undiagnosed skin rash. Children may attend school with minor coughs/colds provided that the cough is not severe enough to be a distraction to the classroom environment, mucous is clear, and the child has enough energy to be able to participate in the daily activities of the school day. MEDICINE PROCEDURE (JGFGB) Because of the complexity in the handling and administering of many medicines, the Unified School District No. 402 has established a procedure in the regards to giving students medicine during the school day. (See below) If your child is on a permanent type of medicine you will need a signed authorization from a doctor. It is the policy of USD 402 that school nurses may provide students with over the counter medications which are listed on the student medication information sheet. Parents must provide written consent for these medications to be administered. It is the policy of USD #402 that other school personnel should not provide students with any medications unless delegated by the registered nurse. Medications must be administered through the office. Students are not to carry medication with them unless necessary for emergency administration. Exceptions may include inhalers or epinephrine auto injectors, but must be cleared through the school nurse. The school district will cooperate with parents in the supervision of necessary prescription medication under the following conditions: *Medication form with physician’s signature has been submitted to the office. *All medication is provided in the original pharmacy container. Parents should make arrangements for short-term medications (such as antibiotics) to be given at home.

IMMUNIZATIONS Kansas Department of Health and Environment requires that students be current on all immunizations. Requirements of children starting kindergarten or Kansas schools for the first time are listed in the board policy and in greater detail in this manual under the heading: ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS. STUDENTS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO ATTEND SCHOOL UNTIL WRITTEN PROOF OF REQUIRED IMMUNIZATIONS HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO THE SCHOOL. NO LATEX PRODUCTS DUE TO DISTRICT POLICY. (This includes no balloons in the schools.)

Penalties for Weapon Violations Possession of a firearm or other weapon listed under the “Weapons and Destructive Devices” heading above shall result in expulsion from school for a period of one calendar year, except the superintendent may recommend this expulsion requirement be modified on a case-by-case basis. Possession of, handling of, and/or transmitting a weapon of a type other than described under the "Weapons and Destructive Devices" heading above, an item neing used as a weapon or destructive device, or a facsimile of a weapon may result in disciplimary action up to and including sspension and/or expulsion.

Appendix o Basic Student Expectations and Consequences for Misbehavior o Board of Education Policy JCDBB (Weapons) o Hazing/Harassment/Intimidation/Bullying/Menacing Policy Playground Expectations The following expectations are designed to keep the students at Robinson Elementary School free from harm. These expectations are not an exhaustive list. A common sense approach by students and adults will allow for a fun and safe recess period for all children. Many expectations at home may not be compatible with school expectations due to the number of students being supervised.

● SAFETY IS EXPECTATION # 1! The three main rules at Robinson are: KEEP HANDS & FEET TO SELVES; TIF YOU DON’T HAVE SOMETHING NICE TO SAY, DON’T SAY ANYTHING; IF YOU DON’T CALL SOMEONE BY THEIR FIRST NAME, DON’T CALL THEM ANYTHING AT ALL.

● Follow directions of adults. ● No fighting of any kind is allowed during any time while at school. ● Hands and feet should be kept to yourself at all times. ● Students are not to re-enter the building during recess except with

permission of the playground supervisors. ● Swings-only one student is to be on each swing at a time. Students are to swing

forward with no twisting or turning. Children are not to play or stand between swings or inside the swing poles. Children are not to push others in the swings and are not to jump out while swinging.

● Slides- Only one child at a time may go down the slide. Students are to sit down feet first while sliding down. Students are not to climb up the slide backwards. The ladder to the slide must be used at all times. Students should wait to slide down until the person in front of them is completely off the slide.

● Horizontal & Monkey Bars- are to be used on the underside. Students should all go one direction (From the right to the left, or north to south). Only one student may use the monkey bars at a time. Students are not to climb on top of any piece of playground equipment. No “Chicken fighting” of any kind.

● No "tackle" games of any kind. ● No Playing “Tag”-Students are not allowed to play tag-type games of any kind

(this violates the “hands & feet to self rule.”) ● Students are not to pick up rocks, sand, sticks, ice, snow, wood chips, etc.

Students should not throw objects of any kind while at school, on school grounds, or at any school supervised activity.

● Students are not to kick a ball of any kind while near the building. On "pavement days" the no kicking rule remains. Only balls used for basketball and 4-square are permitted on the pavement.

13

● Only two people are to be on the teeter-totter at a time (one on each side). Students are expected to sit at all times. Students should not sit on the bar in-between the teeter-totters nor should they interfere with the teeter-totters while in use.

● If a ball goes into or across the street, students must check with an adult before going into the street after it.

● Students should not climb trees, drain pipes, fences, etc. ● Shoes must be worn at all times and all places on the playground.
