Standard Operating Procedures and Reminders

Supervision of Children

Our bell rings daily at 9:15, prior to that any students on-site must be accompanied by a parent OR secured in a vehicle with their parent. Staff are on duty once they are present at arrival.

Car-Riders

Must be ready to exit the vehicle upon arrival to the curb. If the child is not ready you may be asked to pull around and park. Students should open their own door to the greatest extent possible. Staff are happy to assist but we have MANY car-riders and learning independence in this area will help the flow.

Late Arrivals

The bell rings at 9:30 and the announcements start. Once the bell rings, your child is late and must be signed in at the main office. Once staff leave the car-rider receiving line then your child is late, and you must walk them in. Staff are directed to close doors. Please do not send your child running to the door. Be on time through the door.

Authorized Pick-Up People

The registering parent and parent or legal guarding living in the household makes the daily decisions for each child. If a household is split, the registering parent must send a note indicating someone else is picking the child up (email the teacher and lijackson@ccboe.com and dgaskins@ccboe.com). This other person may be the child's other parent who lives in a different home, a grandparent, aunt, uncle, or someone else. People listed on the emergency card ARE NOT authorized to pick up a student unless the school cannot get in touch with the parent in an emergency as deemed by the school.

Early Dismissal

After 3:20 there is no early dismissal through the main office. Parents needing to pick a child up early must buzz in prior to 3:20pm. Our afternoons are very hectic, and it takes time to track students down due to the many moving parts of a school. If a parent arrives after 3:20 they will have to wait outside until we start dismissal. Please plan ahead.

Volunteers

All volunteers for any event, trip, or activity must follow the CCPS process to register through Sterling Volunteers. This must be completed on a laptop or desktop computer. This process is required to be completed, and the window opens every August.

Snacks and Treats

Per the CCPS handbook, all snacks and treats that is brought in by parents/students, and intended to be shared, must have the nutrition facts and ingredients listed on each and every item. Please always contact the teacher if you intend to bring items in. The main office screens out snacks that may not be received and have to send them back with parents when the requirement isn't met.

Student Behavior

We have high expectations for students. When incidents happen, teachers, administrators, or counselors report it to parents and follow the code of students conduct to process the situation. We look at all sides and make a decision, based on definitions in the code of student conduct, how to proceed. Please partner with us and have patience as we work through situations. If you receive a phone call or email and need detailed follow up, please contact the admin team at any time for follow up assistance.
