Spend time
with your
children.
Do things together,
such as reading,
walking, playing and
cleaning the house.
What children want most is your attention.
“Communicate with teachers and the school at the start of the school year.
Get acquainted and let them know you want to be an active partner in helping your child to learn and grow.”

To enter kindergarten, a child must be five years old on or before December 1 of the year
in which registration is planned. For the school year 2015–2016, students born on or before
December 1, 2010 may enter kindergarten in September 2015. To register, you will need:
proof of residency, a copy of the child’s birth certificate showing the official seal and
medical records, including required immunizations and a history of major ailments.
Parents can request a referral and evaluation of their child if they suspect that their child has a
need for special education services or programs. A Parent’s Guide to Special Education by the
NYS Education Department, may be a helpful resource:
http://www.p12.nysed.gov/specialed/publications/policy/parentguide.htm
http://www.p12.nysed.gov/specialed/publications/policy/spanishparentguide.htm
If you would like more information about the special education process, contact the Director
of Special Education, Stephanie Muller, at 516-326-5580 ext. 42239 (children in Kindergarten–
6th grade) or the Assistant Director of Special Education, Helisse Palmore, at 516-326-5580
ext. 42243 (children ages 3-5)
KINDERGARTEN SCREENING
A child may not be taken from school, even by a parent or guardian, until the person doing so
goes to the office and presents valid identification. If a child is to be picked up by someone other
than the parent or guardian, prior authorization must be received from the parent or guardian.
TRANSPORTATION/BUS PASSES
Children in kindergarten to grade 3 will be given bus riding privileges if they live more than onehalf (1/2) mile from school. Children in grades 4 to 6 will be given bus riding privileges if they
live more than one (1) mile from school. Bus riders must use assigned buses and bus stops. Bus
passes are mailed every year at the end of August. Children are required to carry their passes at
all times. Lost passes must be reported to the school principal immediately.
RELEASE OF CHILDREN AT BUS STOPS
Children in kindergarten and first grade must have a parent or legal guardian receive them at the
bus stop. Any other person receiving the child must be 18 years of age or older and registered
with the Transportation Office. A picture ID will also be requested. No child will be released
under any other circumstances.
The Kindergarten screening program is conducted to assist in planning instruction for students
and to comply with New York State Entrant Regulations. All Kindergarten students will be
screened in the Fall when they enter Kindergarten.
EMERGENCY SCHOOL CLOSING
REGISTRATION DATES AND TIMES

Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten new student registration dates scheduled for March 2016
are listed on this calendar. Please check for your school’s date and time.
PROOF OF RESIDENCY AND CUSTODY
Annual proof of residency and legal custody will be required for all children not residing with
natural parents (i.e., Court Orders, Department of Social Service Placements, Adoption Agency
Placements). For children entering school, proof of residency must be substantiated. The district
reserves the right to verify and dismiss any student who does not reside within the boundaries
of the school district. Parents or guardians are responsible for tuition reimbursement.
STUDENT ATTENDANCE
Parents are requested to call their school to report student absences as early as possible.

The nurse will call home when a student is absent and no reason is known. A student absence
must be followed by a written excuse note from the parent. A home visit will occur if a child is
out five consecutive days and no medical evidence has been presented.
When schools are closed, bus transportation within and out of district is cancelled.This includes
transportation for private, parochial, BOCES and other schools outside the area.
Requests for transportation for K – 6 children in private or parochial schools must be submitted
on or by April 1, 2016. Requests received after April 1 may be declined. Late requests will be
reviewed during the last weeks of August. Parents or guardians who filed late requests will be
notified if their children will receive transportation.
New residents must apply within 30 days after establishing residency. Private or parochial school
children still receive transportation to school when the Elmont UFSD is officially closed due to a
recess or holiday. When the district is closed due to an emergency or severe weather condition,
all transportation is cancelled. Disruptive behavior affecting the safety of drivers and children
may result in the loss of future riding privileges. For additional information and clarification,
please call 326-5500.
Parent Portal Access
As of the 2014-2015 school year, The Elmont Union Free School District launched our Parent
Portal at https://parentportal.nasboces.org. This is a web-based program that will allow you to
access information about your child’s academic progress. This program will allow you to obtain
access to your child’s report cards, as well as State and Local Assessment results.You will be able
to access the Parent Portal by visiting the Elmont School District Website at www.elmontschools.

General Student Information
ADMINISTERING MEDICATION TO STUDENTS
Medication may be given to students by the school nurse, provided a written request from a
parent or guardian, signed by a physician, has been received. Forms for this purpose may be
obtained in the school nurse’s office or on our website. The student’s physician must provide
written orders detailing diagnosis, dosage of medicine, and any further instructions. Parents,
or a designated adult must bring the medication to the school nurse’s office in a container
appropriately labeled by the pharmacy or physician.
ANNUAL PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
Medical examinations by your family physician are encouraged for each child attending school,
and forms for this purpose are sent home with all students in June. Children in grades 2 and 4
who have not returned the completed form by October 1 will be examined by school physicians.
School children, by law, must be immunized. The district also requires TB testing. No child may
be admitted without immunizations unless he or she is exempt for medical or religious reasons.
As part of a required school health examination, a student is weighed and his/her height is
measured.These numbers are used to figure out the student’s body mass index or ‘BMI.’ The BMI
helps the doctor or nurse know if the student’s weight is in a healthy range or is too high or too
low. Recent changes to the New York State Education Law require that BMI and weight status
group be included as part of the student’s school health examination. A sample of school districts
will be selected to take part in a survey by the New York State Department of Health. If our
school is selected to be part of the survey, we will be reporting to New York State Department
of Health information about our students’ weight status groups. Only summary information is
sent. No names and no information about individual students are sent. However, you may choose
to have your child’s information excluded from this survey report. The request to be excluded
from the survey report is available on our website.
The information sent to the New York State Department of Health will help health officials
develop programs that encourage children to lead a healthier lifestyle.
If you do not wish to have your child’s weight status group information included as part of the
Health Department’s survey this year, please contact the school nurse.
CLASS LISTS
Class lists, including students’ names, addresses and telephone numbers, will be made available
to designated representatives of the local PTA for educational purposes. Any parent desiring the
omission or deletion of a child’s name for reasons of confidentiality should notify the Office of
the Superintendent by the first day of school or at the time of registration.
EMERGENCY SCHOOL CLOSING
When schools are closed, announcements will be made on the following radio stations:
(AM) WCBS 880, and WHLI 1100; (FM) WMTC 94.3,WALK 97.5, KJOY 98.3,WRCN 103.9,WBLI
106.1 and WBAB 102.3. Announcements will also be made on the following television station:
Cablevision News l2. Additional emergency information can be found on our website at www.
elmontschooIs.org. We will also send a call through “Connect-Ed”, our automated telephone
communication system.

SCHOOL VISITORS
Visitors are welcome in our schools. In the interest of the safety of your children, please call the
school and make an appointment when you plan to visit. Upon your arrival, you will be required
to sign in and then directed to the main office. Unauthorized visitors will not be allowed in the
building.
OFFICIAL STUDENT FILES
Parents of children under 18 years of age have a right to inspect and review official files and data
directly related to their children. Such records include identifying data, academic work, levels of
achievement including grades and test scores, attendance records, scores on standardized tests,
interest inventory results, health data and teacher or counselor ratings and evaluations. Request
for inspection of such records must be made to the building principal during regular school
hours. These records are confidential and may not be made available to other persons without
written parental consent.
PARENTS RIGHT TO KNOW
In accordance with the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, parents and guardians of
students attending a Title I school have the right to request specific information about the
professional qualifications (e.g., certification) of their children’s classroom teachers. Requests for
information about the qualifications of teachers must be directed to the Personnel Office. All
requests will be honored in a timely manner.
PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT
In accordance with the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, the Board of Education recognizes
the parental involvement goals of Title I, and has developed a plan to encourage the active
participation of parents/caregivers in all aspects of their children’s education. The Elmont UFSD
has designed programs, activities and procedures for implementing effective parent involvement
to improve student achievement and school performance (NCLBSI 1 18). A complete copy of
the Parental Involvement Policy is available by contacting the District Clerk.
HOMELESS STUDENTS
The Board of Education recognizes its responsibilities to identify homeless students, facilitate
their enrollment in school, and eliminate existing barriers to their education (McKinney-Vento
Act). The Superintendent of Schools has developed the procedures necessary to expedite the
homeless child’s access to a designated school, as well as appropriate programs and services,
including transportation and healthcare referrals.
SCHOOL MEALS
The Elmont School District participates in the National School Lunch and Breakfast programs.
Nutritious meals meeting dietary guidelines set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture are
served daily. Free and reduced meals are available for families meeting income guidelines
established by the USDA. Applications for these meals are mailed at the beginning of August to
every registered family. They will also be distributed during the first week of school and remain
available throughout the school year in each building.
Breakfast is served approximately one-half (1/2) hour before school begins.The cost of breakfast
is $1.25 and lunch is $2.45. With our new computerized system, parents can set up accounts
for their children for meals and snacks. Our system also allows parents to set restrictions on
accounts and monitor their children’s purchases.

The fundamental objective of homework is
to support classroom learning. Homework is
directly related to classroom instruction and
reinforces the skills and concepts taught during the school day. Homework assignments teach
students responsibility and the importance of taking ownership for their learning.
How Parents Can Help Their Children Succeed:
• Show an interest, but encourage independence.
• Agree on a regular time and place to do homework.
• Check that assignments have been completed.
• If you question the quantity or content of assignments, speak with the teacher.
GENERAL HOMEWORK GUIDELINES
Primary Grades (K – 3) – Assignments are designed to facilitate the development of reading
skills and mathematical concepts.
Grade 4 – About 2 hours per week in 30 minute assignments
Grade 5 – About 3 hours per week in 45 minute assignments
Grade 6 – About 4 hours per week in 60 minute assignments
ENRICHMENT PROGRAM
All students are afforded enrichment opportunities in their regular classroom and through a
wide array of programs and activities.The District designed a unique Enrichment Program, which
recognizes multiple intelligences as well as the talents and interests of students. This program is
offered to all students in grades three through six during the school year. During the summer,
students who have demonstrated interest, achievement and commitment are invited to explore
enrichment areas more deeply. For more details about the Enrichment Program, please contact
the Curriculum Office at 326-5500.
PROMOTION/RETENTION
retention decisions are made in the best interest of the student after a careful evaluation of the
advantages and disadvantages.
The Elmont Board of Education recognizes that students of the same age differ in cognitive
abilities and developmental levels. The administration and teaching staff design curricula and
programs which meet the individual and unique needs of all students. Placement, promotion and
A report of each child’s progress is made periodically. Reports cards will be distributed as
specified on the calendar. Parent-Teacher conference dates are also listed on the calendar.
SERVICES FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS
Upon entry into the Elmont UFSD, students are screened to determine their eligibility for the
English as a Second Language (ESL) program. The program is designed to provide appropriate
instruction to ensure that LEP/ELL students acquire academic vocabulary and skills necessary to
succeed in college and careers.
SHARED DECISION-MAKING
Shared Decision-Making Committees are operational in each school and offer a variety of
ways in which citizens, parents, teachers, administrators and the Board of Education can work
together for the betterment of our schools. If you have an interest in working with the team in
your school, contact the building principal.
SOCIAL WORK SERVICES
The Elmont UFSD employs social workers who provide support to students and their families
on a daily basis. Home visitations and individual counseling are also provided.
SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAM
Our District provides appropriate publicly supported education programs for all students
with disabilities. The identification, evaluation and placement of students follows a well-defined
sequence that begins with the referral of a student thought to have special education needs. It
is a continuous process, reviewed on an annual basis, which ends when the student no longer
requires special education services.
SUMMER SCHOOL
The District provides a summer academic program and a special education extended school
year program for selected students. Recommendations are based on test scores, as well as
teacher and principal referrals. Additionally, summer enrichment programs will vary from year
to year depending on the needs and interests of the children and community.
TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION PROGRAM
The District affords students hands-on experiences with computers beginning in kindergarten
and continuing through sixth grade.A state-of-the-art computer lab has been set up in each school,
and new hardware and software are added periodically to enhance instruction. Additionally,
networked computers with Internet access and interactive SMARTboards are available in each
classroom to encourage the integration of technology into the curriculum. During the 20142015 school year, through State grant funds, the District installed a brand-new, state-of-the-art
computer/STEM lab in each school building. These additional labs will facilitate the District’s
network environment to meet the high demands of CBT (computer-based testing), as well as
foster a technology environment conducive to the web-based curriculum.

Initial Pesticide Notification to Persons in Parental Relation and Staff Pursuant to Sec. 409-h
of the State Education Law
New York State Education and Law Section 409-h, effective July 1, 2001, requires that all
public and non-public elementary and secondary schools provide written notification to
all persons in parental relation, faculty and staff regarding the potential use of pesticides
periodically throughout the school year.
The Elmont Union Free School District is required to maintain a list of persons in a
parental relation, faculty and staff who wish to receive 48 hour prior written notification of
certain pesticide applications. The following pesticide applications are not subject to prior
notification requirements:
• a school remains unoccupied for a continuous 72 hours following an application
• anti-microbial products
• non-volatile rodenticide in tamper resistant bait stations in areas
inaccessible to children
• boric acid and disodium octaborate tecrahydrate
• the application of EPA designated biopesticides
• the application of EPA designated exempt materials under 40CFR152.25
• the use of aerosol products with a directed spray in containers of 18 fluid ounces or
less when used to protect individuals from an imminent threat from stinging and biting
insects, including venomous spiders, bees, wasps and hornets.
In the event of an emergency application necessary to protect against an imminent threat
to human health, a good faith effort will be made to supply written notification to those on
the 48 hour prior notification list.
If you would like to receive 48 hour prior notification of pesticide applications that are
scheduled to occur in your school, please submit a letter indicating: the name of your school,
your name, your address, your daytime telephone number, your fax number and your e-mail
address.
