All children between the ages of 6 and 16 years must attend school. We will report to the County Attendance Officer any student who falls into the following categories:
1. Absence for 5 or more consecutive days without an excuse.
2. Absence for 8 or more days in a school month without an excuse.
3. Absence for 20 or more days in a school year without an excuse.
If a student falls into any of these categories, the Attendance Officer will file a report in court and have the student declared truant.
GRADING AND HOMEWORK
Your student will receive a letter grade. The scale is:
A = 90-100
B = 80-89
C = 70-79
D = 60-69
E = 0-59
Homework is assigned by the teacher to be done by your child at home. The time limits for the work are:
15 minutes-1st-3rd
45 minutes-4th-6th
ASSIGNMENT BOOKS
If your child is in 5th or 6th grade, he/she will receive an assignment book at the beginning of the year. Use these books to monitor your child's homework progress.
FOLDERS
If your child is in 1st-4th grades, he/she will bring home a folder each week which indicates work habits and behavior. You are asked to review the contents of the folder, sign the folder and return it to school.
CONFERENCES
If you need to speak with your child's teacher, other than the two scheduled parent/teacher conferences, please call and set up an appointment. This will enable the teacher to schedule the time for you. Office: 367-2148
GENERAL INFORMATION
Visitors: You must immediately report to the office whenever you visit the school. We maintain this policy for the safety of your child.
Leaving school grounds: If you are picking up your child, you must come to the office to get him/her. If your child is not leaving school in the usual manner, you must send a note explaining how she/he will be departing.
Medicine: Please inform the office whenever your child needs to take a prescription drug. We will give you a copy of the Marion County medicine policy and a permission form, which your doctor will need to complete.
Meals: The school provides your child with an opportunity to have breakfast and lunch. The cost for breakfast is $.40 and $.75 for lunch. We will send you a bill at the beginning of each new month, which gives you the cost of meals consumed during the previous month.
Volunteers: If you are planning to volunteer at the school or as a chaperone, submit your request to the office by the last day of September. We will then turn your name into the Marion County Board of Education for approval. TB tests may be requested if you will be volunteering and working in the classrooms with students.
