If you are picking your child up early, for any reason, you must first stop in the school office and sign your child out of school. This procedure is for the safety of our children. Strangers do enter schools. We are responsible for your children until they go home at the end of the day or are signed out of school by you. We take this responsibility very seriously. VISITORS TO THE SCHOOL: All visitors to the school must first stop in the school office before going to the classrooms; this includes parents, work crews and adults helping with field trips. This is a district -wide procedure enforced for the safety of our children. Parents, visitors, volunteers and student teachers are all requested to wear an identification badge during their time in school. This procedure helps us identify visitors to the school. ANNOUNCEMENTS SENT HOME: Enfield school sends home announcements only one day per week. Wednesday is ANNOUNCEMENT DAY. The purpose is to improve communication between home and school. Each child will have a large envelope with his/her name on it that will be used to send information home. Please make sure that your child/children returns the envelope to school the next day. We will appreciate your help with this system. Announcements may be sent home on other days only if necessary. SCHOOL WIDE PRINCIPLES: The following are the principles that guide our approach to management and discipline at Enfield. These were developed with the participation of the entire staff. • Teachers use these as a guide to develop their classroom rules. Every classroom teacher has his/her rules which he/she will discuss with you at Open House/Curriculum Night, or send home with Class Expectation forms. 1. WE RESPECT ALL CHILDREN AND ADULTS. 2. WE TAKE PRIDE IN OURSELVES. 3. WE TAKE PRIDE IN OUR SCHOOL. 4. WE RESPECT EVERYONE'S PROPERTY. swParents will be contacted immediately in case of severe misbehavior. This includes unsafe behavior that causes injury to another child, property damage, insubordination and fighting. Please note that hats are not to be worn in school during school hours. Also, the chewing of gum, because of custodial (clean up) problems is not allowed. ATTENDANCE: If your child will be absent on a school day, please phone the school office by 9:30 a.m. If you do not call the morning of an absence, the school secretary will attempt to reach you by phone before the end of the day. When your child is absent, please send in a dated, written excuse (for legal records) on the day your child returns to school, even if you have called the school to report him/her absent. If a child is tardy (late), he/she should report to the office before going to the classroom. 0 AFTER SCHOOL INFORMATION • ENFIELD AFTER SCHOOL DAY CARE PHONE NUMBERS: The Enfield After School Day Care Program is coordinated through the Enfield Community Council.
