Below is some
information and guidelines to help foster school success for
your child. If you have any further questions about expectations
and guidelines please consult the Auburndale Elementary handbook
or call the office.
Absence Unless your child is truly sick, he or she needs to be at school.
Perfect attendance is valued and rewarded at Auburndale. Please help
us emphasize the importance of "reporting to work" each day. In the
event of illness, the following procedure is to be followed:
| 1. |
If
a student is going to be absent from school, for any reason,
the parent or guardian (not the child) is to call the school
office before 9:30 a.m. (502) 485-8204 |
| |
|
| 2. |
Requests for homework pickup (after school) must be made by
9:30 a.m. when the absence is called in, so
the teacher will have time to prepare the necessary material
for pickup. Work may be picked up during afternoon dismissal. |
| |
|
| 3. |
Upon return to school, a signed not of explanation is to be
given to the homeroom teacher. Teachers will assist the student
in obtaining missed work. It is the student's responsibility
to complete assigned work. |
Students with excused absences have appropriate time to make up
work as outlined in the Jefferson County Uniform Code of Student
Conduct.
Releasing Students During School Hours
If a student is to be excused early, the parent must notify
the teacher in writing. This will allow the teacher to
remind the student to prepare for early dismissal. An authorized
adult must sign out students departing prior to regular dismissal.
The sign-out log is located at the attendance clerk's desk.
For safety reasons, only adults who have been previously
designated as authorized may pick up students prior to dismissal
Students will not be sent off the school grounds without parental
permission.
Student will not be released to speak with anyone other than a parent
during school hours (with the exception of Child Protective Services,
or the police).
It is the responsibility of the parent to keep
the school informed of special family arrangements in regard to custody
of the child.
Parents should not assume that school officials are aware of court
orders regarding custody.
What should a
parent do is the bus is significantly late, or a child is not on the
bus?
