- Teachers and parents share the same objective - the child's welfare. We can consult each other. By sharing our knowledge we can help the child.
- Individual teacher-parents conferences are scheduled throughout the year (a minimum of two per year.) If you have other problems, contact your child's teacher.
- Please do not go to the classroom during the school day to discuss any problems with the teacher. The children and the teacher need this time to work together. If you desire a conference, please contact the office for an appointment.
Homework
Broward County's School Board Policy states: "The Board recognizes the importance of assigning meaningful and quality homework to students. Research indicates that schools in which homework is routinely assigned and assessed tend to have higher achieving students. Homework fosters student achievement, independence, and responsibility and serves as a vital link between the school and home. Therefore, it is the policy of Broward County Schools that meaningful and quality homework is required at all grade levels in all schools. Homework standards and procedures shall be established by each School Advisory Council."
Lost & Found
Children's sweaters, coats, lunch boxes, etc., should have their names on them. Any lost items will be turned in to the office. If your child has lost an item, please check at the lost and found in the cafeteria. Lost articles which are not claimed within a reasonable time will be given to charitable organizations.
Withdrawals
Please notify the school at least one day in advance of withdrawal. Be sure that all textbooks and library books are accounted for and that no money is owed for supplies. The transfer documentation will be issued from the office.
Clinics & Medications
All first aid, if feasible, is administered in the office. Parents are contacted if an illness or an accident has any appearance of a serious nature. A minimum of two people on our staff are certified in first aid. Under School Board policy, students may not have medication at school unless an Authorization for Medication Form has been completed and is on file in the school office. The Authorization for Medication Form is available in the school office should your child need to be administered any medication during the school day. We Need To Know Where To Reach You. It is of the utmost importance that the school office has a current telephone number and an emergency number in case of illness or accident while your child is at school. The clinic will have a copy of your Emergency Dismissal Form. Please be sure to notify the school office if there are any changes in this information during the school year.
