GENERAL INFORMATION AND SCHOOL POLICIES

VISITORS

It is vital to the safety of our students and staff that all visitors report to the office when entering the building. All visitors must receive a visitor’s pass in order to be in the building.

ADMISSION OF RESIDENT STUDENTS

In order to register a student, the parent or legal guardian shall provide a proof of residency as outlined below and shall complete all admission requirements as determined by Board policies, rules and regulations.

The following criteria shall be used in determining student residency:

“The student physically resides and is domiciled in the school district. The domicile of a minor child shall be the domicile of a parent or court-appointed legal guardian.”

Students who do not meet the residency requirements may apply for admission in accordance with Board policy JECB, Admission of Nonresident Students. Parents/guardians must sign a “Resident Enrollment Affirmation.”

All students enrolling must have a copy of the following for their permanent record:

• state issued birth certificate,

• immunization record

• an address or phone number of the last school attended.

PERSONAL APPEARANCE

Students will be expected to keep themselves well groomed and neatly dressed at all times. Any form of dress or hair style which is considered contrary to good hygiene or which is distractive or disruptive in appearance and detrimental to the purpose or conduct of the school as determined by the school administrators will not be permitted.

Students are not to wear head coverings in the buildings. This includes hats, bandannas, hooded coats and or sweatshirts. Tube tops, mini skirts, halters, muscle shirts or other similar items of clothing are not to be worn to school. Articles of clothing advertising drugs or alcoholic products, or those with obscene or questionable printing on them as determined by the school administrators will not be permitted.

All clothing must cover to their outer edge and shirts, blouses, etc. must cover up to the armpit. If you have questions or doubts about a piece of clothing, check with the principals before you wear it to school. All clothing is to be clean and in good repair.

SCHOOL HOURS

School hours are 7:45- 3:15. Doors to the school building will be open each morning by 7:45. Students should not arrive before that time. Breakfast will begin at that time also. Students are expected to be in their classroom no later than 8:05 AM. No student will be allowed in the building after 3:15 unless properly supervised.

SCHOOL CLOSINGS AND INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY

If it becomes necessary to dismiss school for a full or partial day due to inclement weather the following television and radio stations will be notified:

• Television: Channel 3, 10, & 33 in Springfield

• Radio: 106.3 Branson, 107.1 Berryville.

Television/ radio stations will be notified as soon as a decision is made. Unscheduled closing is always a possibility due to weather, equipment breakdowns, or unforeseen circumstances. Parents should be sure their child and the student’s teacher know where the child is to go if such emergency arises. Due to the importance of contacting parents, it is important to keep the office updated to address and phone number changes. Have an emergency plan for those days when we should dismiss early. Go over it with your child and send a copy of important information to your child’s teacher.

STUDENT TRANSPORTATION

If you are transporting students, please pick them up and drop off students at the south doors. This will avoid potential dangers of walking in and around buses and diminish traffic problems. Your help is greatly appreciated.

STUDENT CHECKOUT

No student is permitted to leave school for any reason without checking out through the office. Students are not permitted to leave the building with anyone other than a listed guardian unless the office has parental consent.

Anyone coming to pick up a child will need to come to the office first and the student will be called to the office. If there are legal or custodial documents that limit someone from contact with a student, a copy will need to be on file in the student’s permanent record at school.

If you are picking up your child at the close of the school day, it is important that classroom distractions are kept to a minimum. Parents are not to go to the classroom and wait. It is best if parents to wait for their child at the South doors and pick them up there. For their safety, please do not wait in the car for them in the parking lot. They should be escorted from the building to your car.

COMMUNICATION

Teachers will be sending home information about class activities, field trips, opportunities, announcements, etc. almost daily. Students and parents need to make themselves familiar with the teacher’s communication routine to keep up to date on the “happenings” in the classroom.

Bulletins will be sent home listing upcoming activities. Most letters from the office and special memos will be on yellow paper. These will be sent regarding important announcements, immediate calendar changes, or re-scheduled events. Please pay special care and read them thoroughly.

CARE OF SCHOOL PROPERTY

Any student who defaces or destroys school property will be held responsible and will be required to restore the property to its original condition. These students will be disciplined according to the circumstances involved in the incident and according to student handbook guidelines. Accidental breakage not involving misbehavior is excusable but should be reported at once. Please help keep your school neat and clean and in good condition.

Items From Home

Students should not bring items from home unless specified by their classroom teacher. Toys, electronic games, trading cards, radios, etc. are not to be brought to school due to the possibility of creating a distraction in the classroom. School supplies, clothing, backpacks, and other items for school use should be labeled with your child’s name. No animals are to be brought to school.

ABSENCE FROM SCHOOL

Regular attendance is one of the foundations for a successful school year. If you know in advance that your child will be absent, inform the teacher so arrangements for assignments can be made.

Long-term absences (3 days or more) require extra effort on the part of students to get caught up. Teachers will only make preparation for missing work up to 3 days at a time unless prior arrangements have been made.

A note from the parent/guardian to the teacher is necessary the day a student returns to school to verify the reason for absence. Generally “good attendance” = “good grades.” Every effort should be made to develop a habit of regular school attendance.

The principal will notify parents by letter on the fifth, eighth, and eleventh absence of each semester. Numerous absences require that the principal consider possible intervention procedures, parent/student conference or the possible retention of a student.

TARDY POLICY

If a student arrives late for school they are required to check-in at the principal’s office before being admitted to class. It is required that a parent check in with the student upon entering school. Seven (7) tardies will equal one (1) full day absent.

RETENTION POLICY

It is important that all students achieve success and make every effort to develop to their fullest potential. Students must show progress in their development for the upcoming school year or face the possibility of retention (which is remaining in the same grade the next year.) Any student that is a candidate for retention will have his/her academic progress for the current school year evaluated by the principal, classroom teacher, counselor, and appropriate staff members. If it is determined that a student is a candidate to be retained the principal, classroom teacher and parents will meet to determine the best course of action. The student’s age, possible or existing special education needs, effort to improve, and attendance will be possible factors considered in determining the best decision for the child. Parents or legal guardians of any candidate to be retained will be contacted prior to the start of the 4^th quarter. See Board Policy “IKE

BREAKFAST AND LUNCH POLICIES

The school provides nutritious hot breakfasts and lunches for the students at a minimal cost. “Free and Reduced” forms are available throughout the school year if your income changes. You may send or pick up one at any time from the office.

You may use one form for all your children. Please include the child’s grade beside their name. You will need to fill out a new form at the beginning of each school year.

A food service payment envelope will be sent home with each student. Please fill out the name, grade, student card number, the amount enclosed and the date. Please enclose only the amount you want applied to the student’s meal account. No change ($) will be made. The amount sent will be what is credited to the student’s account. Please make checks to “Blue Eye School.”

Students will be allowed to charge up to $5.00 on their meal account. A notice is sent home daily when accounts become delinquent.

All students are to eat their lunch and breakfast in the school cafeteria. No food, drinks or candy will be allowed outside the cafeteria unless given permission by a staff member.

Parents that send their lunch from home should use good judgment in the items brought for lunch. Consideration should be given to following good nutrition habits. If at all possible avoid pop. In order to avoid mess and food spoiling, only bring the items that a student needs for lunch. Lunch sacks are to be kept in clean condition.

LUNCH PRICE

Regular price: $1.25

Reduced price: .40

Extra milk/juice: .30

BREAKFAST PRICE

SCHOOL PARTIES

Parties are to be arranged by the classroom teacher. When supplying treats from home, please check with teacher first. All snacks must be pre-wrapped from the bakery or store. All school parties must be approved by the teacher/principal. If possible, parents should bring the items to school.

MONEY AT SCHOOL

It is best if students not have “extra” money at school. If a student does have money at school it is important that they secure it properly. If the money should become lost a reasonable effort will be made to find it but the school will not be responsible for replacing it. If paying for something such as meals, pictures, skating, etc. it is best to use a check and enclose it in an envelope and label what the money is for.

CHECK CASHING

No checks can be cashed at school. Payments for more than one account require a payment/check for each account unless arrangements have been made prior.

SCHOOL TRIPS

Throughout the school year, including summer school, there will be school trips. Students will follow the directions of the teacher/chaperones on all school trips. This also includes athletic events. Students/athletes who participate on the trip must ride the bus back to school unless student has received permission from the teacher/ chaperone to leave with his or her parent or guardian. You must check in with a sponsor before leaving an event with parents.

At certain events there will be a written permission slip and/ or money to be paid to ride the bus and/or attend. These must be returned by their due date and before attending the event. The school cannot cash checks for any event for students.

Due to possible insurance concerns, only students and school personnel are allowed to ride the bus. If a parent or volunteer will be helping to chaperone, transportation concerns should be coordinated before the trip with the trip sponsor.

It is always our desire to include our parents and community in as many events as possible. If you are not a student and are planning to attend the trip and/or accompany a student, arrangements must be made prior to the trip with the sponsor.

All bus conduct/ school code of conduct rules will be followed.

CURRICULUM GUIDES

Complete curriculum guides are available for parents to review in the Elementary Counselor’s Office and Library Media Center.

ACHIEVEMENT TESTS

Achievement tests are administered in the spring. Students in the 3^rd and 4^th grades will be taking the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) Test. Test results are available in the counselor’s office or will be mailed to parents upon request.

A copy of Bill 319 and further information can be attained through the building principal.

In fifth grade, students will be required to have gym clothes and shoes they can leave in assigned lockers located in the dressing rooms.

Students are responsible to make sure their clothes are kept clean and, if need be, replaced. It is the student’s responsibility to bring their clothes with them to school.

CLASS PLACEMENT/ TEACHER REQUEST

Students are placed in classes where it is believed that they will have the best opportunity to learn. A primary concern is that they will have a positive experience here at Blue Eye Elementary. All staff employed by the Blue Eye R-V School District are highly qualified and professional educators. Requests for a specific teacher for an upcoming school year are to be directed at specific need(s) that the child may have should be submitted in writing to the elementary principal. This process should take place during early May of each year.

If a student placement is in question, it is requested that the student remain with the teacher for a period of four weeks before considering a change of placement. If, after that time, a parent still has a question about a placement, a conference with the principal, classroom teacher, and parent will take place for consideration of options.

DIRECTORY INFORMATION

“Directory Information” is information contained in an education record of a student that would not generally be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed. The school district designated the following items as “Directory Information:”

The district shall annually notify parents of students currently in attendance of the “Directory Information” the district will release. Parents or eligible students will have ten (10) school days after the annual public notice to view the student’s “Directory Information” and to provide notice in writing to the school district that they choose not to have this information or any portion of the “Directory Information” released. Unless notified to the contrary in writing within the ten (10) school day period, the school district may disclose any of the those items designated as “Directory Information” without the parent’s or eligible student’s prior written consent including in print and electronic publications of the school district.

STUDENT DISCIPLINE AND CODE OF CONDUCT

This includes the power to suspend or expel a student for conduct which is prejudicial to good order and discipline in the school or impairs the morale or good conduct of the students. These policies, rules and regulations will apply to all students in attendance in district instructional and support programs, as well as at school sponsored activities and events. Students who have been charged, convicted or pled guilty in a court of general jurisdiction form commission of a felony may be suspended in accordance with law.

STUDENT HEALTH AND GUIDELINES

ABOUT YOUR CHILD’S HEALTH

At the school our nurse is available to assist your child in maintaining good health.

Your school nurse makes every effort to reach you when your child is ill or injured. Sometimes minor ailments and injuries occur that can be treated in our health services office, enabling your child to return to class. In order for this to occur, you must sign a permission slip for your child to receive any medical attention. The school nurse must have phone numbers you can be reached at. If for some reason during the school year you move or change work places, please notify the office.

EXCUSE FROM OUTDOOR PLAY

When it becomes necessary for a student to be excused from outdoor play, a written statement from the parent specifying the reason must be given on a daily basis. Special health problems will be dealt with on a daily basis.

HEAD LICE AND NITS

The occurrence of “Nits” and/or Head Lice are common in the public school setting. Through periodic checks by our school nurse and occasionally county health officials, every effort is made to control the situation. If nits or lice are discovered, parents will be notified by phone or letter immediately. Students will not be able to attend class. You will be asked to treat the child and to make sure all nits are removed.

Students are not allowed re-admission to class until the school nurse or a school official grants permission. Due to the possibility of spreading lice to other students, the student is not allowed to ride the bus. A parent or guardian must accompany the child to school. Please provide the label from the shampoo that was used to treat the child. Our school is working toward a “nit free” environment which means dead nits after treatment must be combed out and removed. This is the only true cure for the problem since most shampoos will only kill about 80% - 90% of the nits (eggs) at a given time.

ADMINISTERING MEDICINES TO STUDENTS

With the exception of students in special education programs, or those with Section 504 Accommodation Plans, the school board is not obligated to supply or administer medication to children, however the Board recognizes that some students may require medication for chronic or sort-term illness during the day to enable them to remain in school an participate in their education.

PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION

1. The parent/guardian will provide a written request that the school district comply with the physician’s request to give medication.

2. The district will not administer the first dose of any medication.

3. The parent/guardian will supply the medication in a properly labeled container from the pharmacy with only those doses to be given at school, and with instructions for any special need for storage. e.g. refrigeration.

4. The medication will be delivered to the school by the parent/guardian or other responsible adult.

5. Medication supplies should not exceed a 30-day supply.

OVER-THE-COUNTER MEDICATION

Written permission must be obtained from a parent/guardian to administer over-the-counter medications which have been prescribed. This permission must be renewed at least annually.

EMERGENCY MEDICATIONS

All schools in the district should be equipped with medication to be administered in the event of a severe allergic reaction. The emergency medication and physician’s orders for such a medication shall be kept in a secure location, but easily accessible to qualified designated personnel.

Permission for the student to self-administer mediation for asthma or other potentially life-threatening respiratory illness is effective for the school year for which it is granted and is renewed for each subsequent school year upon meeting the conditions set forth above.

INOCULATION OF STUDENTS

It shall be the policy of the Blue Eye R-V School District that all students attending the district schools shall be in compliance with state laws and regulations requiring immunizations against poliomyelitis, rubella, rubeola, mumps, tetanus, petussis and diphtheria.

The parent or guardians of each student entering the school district shall furnish satisfactory proof that the student has been adequately immunized or that the immunization process has begun.

Our district is required to inform you of certain information that you, according to The No

Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-110), have the right to know. Upon your request, our district is required to provide to you in a timely manner, the following information:

• Whether the teacher has met state qualification and licensing criteria for the grade

levels and subject areas in which the teacher provides instruction.

• Whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or other provisional status

through which state qualification or licensing criteria have been waived.

• Whether your child is provided services by paraprofessionals and, if so, their

qualifications.

• What baccalaureate degree major the teacher has and any other graduate certification

or degree held by the teacher, and the field of discipline of the certification.

In addition to the information that parents may request, districts must provide to each

individual parent –

• Information on the achievement level of the parent’s child in each of the state

academic assessments as required under this part; and

• Timely notice that the parent’s child has been assigned, or has been taught for

four or more consecutive weeks by, a teacher who is not highly qualified.

Standard Complaint Resolution Procedure For No Child Left Behind Programs

This complaint resolution procedure applies to all programs administered by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education under the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB).

A complaint is a formal allegation that a specific federal or state law or regulation has been violated, misapplied, or misinterpreted by school district personnel or by Department of Education personnel.

Any parent or guardian, surrogate parent, teacher, administrator, school board member, or other person directly involved with an activity, program, or project operated under the general supervision of the Department may file a complaint. Such a complaint must be in writing and signed; it will provide specific details of the situation and indicate the law or regulation has been violated, misapplied, or misinterpreted by school district personnel or by Department of Education personnel.

The written, signed complaint must be filed and the resolution pursued in accordance with local district policy: Refer to policy JFH located at the back of student handbook. If the issue cannot be resolved at the local level, the complainant may file a complaint with the Missouri Department of Education. If there is not evidence that the parties have

attempted in good faith to resolve the complaint at the local level, the Department may require the parties to do so and may provide technical assistance to facilitate such resolution.

Any persons directly affected by the actions of the Department may file a similarly written complaint if they believe state or federal laws or regulations have been violated, misapplies, or misinterpreted by the Department itself.

Anyone wishing more information about this procedure or how complaints are resolved

may contact the central office or Department personnel.
