DEER PARK ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Preparing the students of today for the world of tomorrow...
Students/Parents/Guardians:
Welcome to Deer Park Elementary School! DPES is a community school dedicated to providing an excellent education for our
children. As a faculty and staff, we are ultra-excited to have the privilege of educating YOUR child this school year!
The first day of school is an exhilarating new adventure, no matter what grade your child enters. Our favorite event of the school
year is cheering at the arrival of our students! We hope our celebration helps make the first day of school an exciting time for
students and parents!
Deer Park Elementary is a school with a distinctive difference. The academic experience for DPES students is more than can be
captured on standardized tests. While our public recognition often acclaims our success on standardized tests, those of us who
exist in and create this learning community know what really brings life to Deer Park. The convergence of talented and dedicated
faculty, enthusiastic and caring staff, supportive board office of educational specialists, and encouraging and involved parents
have created and sustained a unique community of learners, a place where excellence is expected and attained. We all are proud
of what has been accomplished and are excited about another year of learning and fun!
How can you help? At Deer Park, parents are active participants in the educational process, working with teachers to ensure that
each student achieves success. We believe involved parents help students achieve and we want you as our partners! Some
possible ways for you to get involved include: asking your child questions about their learning activities, selecting a book at your
child’s reading level to read together as a family, or monitoring their academic progress from home using our internet access to
Infinite Campus! Additionally, we encourage you to browse our website, our Deer Park Facebook page, and follow us on Twitter.
We welcome your thoughts and ideas as we explore using today’s technology to increase communication with our families.
As always, please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have regarding your child’s education or school activities. We
are looking forward to another great year!
Sincerely,
Cindy Galloway, Principal

• CHAPTER 1
VISITORS AND VOLUNTEERS
Deer Park Elementary School welcomes you
to visit for the purpose to serve as a
volunteer helper or to eat with your child for
lunch. For the protection of the students
and security in the school, it is required that
any person entering the building during the
school day come directly to the office before
going to any other part of the school.
All visitors are required to sign in and sign
out. A photo ID must be provided by all
guests visiting any area of the school beyond
the main office. Visitor identification tags
must be worn during your stay. Students
will not be permitted to leave the building
with a visitor unless he/she has been
checked out through the school office.
Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)
You can help secure the kind of education you want for the children of our community by joining the
Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) and taking part in its activities. The Deer Park Elementary School
PTO is an integral part of the total school program. PTO meetings, activities, and events will be
announced throughout the school year.
Volunteers
In our school, volunteers are used for a variety of jobs. If you would like to volunteer your services, call
the school for information at 852-7270. Kentucky statute (KRS 17.160) requires that DCPS perform a
criminal background check on all individuals who request to serve as a volunteer in our schools. This
includes anyone who assists students in or out of the classroom, works in close proximity to students,
chaperones or supervises school activities or events (including field trips). As of July 1, 2012, the
Administrative Office of the Courts is charging a fee of $10. 00 for each background check request
submitted. Considering the extensive number of volunteers who are active across our district, as you
might expect, this new expense has created an additional financial burden on our district. However, we
believe that the involvement of volunteers is a vital component of our success and we are committed to
preventing that cost from being a limiting or restrictive factor. For that reason, DCPS will pick up the
cost of the background check. However, to help offset that cost to the district, you may donate the cost
of the background check ($10.00) if you choose to do so.

our teachers is important to our
success. Upon request, our district
will provide information about the
professional qualifications of your

Medication
Students will not be permitted to take medicine while at school unless such medicine is given them by
authorized personnel. This regulation covers all medicines, prescription and non-prescription. A parent
or guardian should bring medicine, in its original container, directly to the school health room where it
will be kept. No medication of any type may be in a student’s possession. Each time a student takes
medication, it will be logged in the school health room as a matter of record. Before any medication may
be given to a student, the parent must supply information on dosage and possible side effects. A medical
log is available for this information and for permission to distribute medication.
21
• CHAPTER 6
STUDENT INFORMATION
CHANGE OF ADDRESS/PHONE NUMBERS
Parents should notify the office
immediately of all address,
phone number, and guardianship
changes. Accurate records must
be maintained in the office to
enable a parent/guardian to be
reached in case of an emergency.
Check Acceptance
Your check is welcome at our school. In the unlikely event a check is returned unpaid, you understand
and agree that the check may be electronically redeposited or if necessary, redeposited by paper draft.
The school may collect a returned check processing charge of $25.00 by the same means and as
allowable by state law. Please call 270-852-7000 with any questions regarding the check policy.

• CHAPTER 7
SEVERE WEATHER CONTINUED
In the case of severe weather our
school personnel will move our
students to the safest area of the

other special emergencies
throughout the school year.
Severe Weather Continued
Safety plans are in place for emergency situations. In case of severe weather or an emergency, please

• CHAPTER 10
ARRIVAL AND DISMISSAL FROM SCHOOL
The students’ safety is our first
priority. We hope to efficiently get
students to class and parents to
work by following these procedures.
Buses begin arriving at 7:00 a.m. and students may have breakfast at that time. There is no supervision provided
before 7:00 a.m; thus, students should not report to school before that time. Students not eating breakfast at school
or after finishing breakfast in the cafeteria will go to their designated waiting areas. Kindergarten and 1st grade
students will go to the media center, 2nd grade students will go to the Spanish room, and 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders
will go to the gym prior to 7:30. Classrooms open at 7:30 and homerooms walk as a class to their rooms. Students
are considered tardy and must be checked in through the office if they are not in their classroom by 7:40.
Buses load and unload in the front of the building throughout the day. Pickup, drop off, and parking is not allowed
in the bus lane in front of the school.
Morning Car Riders A staff member begins car rider duty at 7:20 each morning. Students are dropped off at both sides of the school
building. To help the flow of traffic in the parking lot and in the school hallways, primary students (not eating
breakfast at school) should be dropped off on the College View side of the building. Intermediate students should be
dropped off on the Western Kentucky University side of the building. Only buses use the lanes in front of the school.
In order to shorten the time you are sitting in line, we need you to do two things:
1) Please pull all the way up to the teacher who is working the car lines. This allows three to four cars to be in
position at one time. If the first car hasn’t pulled completely up, we have children exiting onto the grass. Normally
this wouldn’t be an issue, but in rain and snow it leads to children being in school with wet feet or muddy shoes.
2) Please have your child ready to exit the car. Please make sure your child and their belongings such as coats and
backpacks are away from the vehicle before pulling away.
34
Afternoon Car Riders Please follow the procedures listed below. Each family signed up as car riders will be issued two vehicle tags. Parents
may purchase additional tags in the school office for $2.00 each.
1) Cars are to enter from College View’s lot and line up going up the hill toward the elementary school. Please make
sure the car rider tag is visible. Anyone without a car rider tag will be required to park in the front lot and pick up
their child from the office.
2) A staff member will walk the car line to check for car rider tags and to list the cars in order of arrival. This list is
used to line up students in the correct order so please do not allow a car to cut in front of you in line. We realize this
is a polite action, but all cars must enter the line from the College View entrance and stay in that same order.
3) The sidewalk has numbered squares to mark four positions. Please pull up all the way so we can load four cars at
a time and still keep students under the covered awning and out of the grass.
4) Any child not picked up by 2:30 will be taken to the office. Parents picking up a student after 2:30 must come
into the school office, be listed on the registration card for pick-up, and provide photo identification.
Following these guidelines will help us to keep the car riders flowing smoothly. Thank you for your assistance with
keeping our students safe.

• CHAPTER 11
ATTENDANCE
Attendance is vital for academic
success. Communication with
the school regarding a student’s
absence is a parent’s
responsibility. All absences are
considered unexcused until the
school receives information
regarding the absence. Parents
have three (3) school days to
provide the written note to
change the absence from
unexcused to excused
Guidelines for Absences
1.Please call the school (270-852-7270) before 9:00 a.m. when your child is absent.
2.If your child is absent due to a doctor’s appointment, please have the doctor issue an excuse for your
child to to deliver to the school office.
3.Parents are encouraged to plan vacations and business trips when school is not in session to avoid
unnecessary student absences. This includes days designated as district make up days on the school
calendar. If a family trip cannot be scheduled when school is not in session, please contact the principal
to discuss the approval process. A student’s attendance record may determine whether approval for the
vacation is granted.
Make-up Work
The teacher shall allow those students who have been absent and excused for make-up by the principal
to complete activities directly related to the matter covered in class at the time of absence.
The student shall be allowed at least one week for completing the assignment from the date the student
returns to school.
37
Truancy Defined
Any student who has attained the age of six (6), but has not reached his/her eighteenth (18th) birthday,
who has been absent from school without valid excuse for three (3) days or more, or tardy without valid
excuse on three (3) days or more, is a truant.
Any student enrolled in a public school who has attained the age of eighteen (18) years, but has not
reached his/her twenty-first (21st) birthday, who has been absent from school without valid excuse for
three (3) or more days, or tardy without valid excuse on three (3) or more days, is a truant.
Any student who has been reported as a truant two (2) or more times is a habitual truant. A student who
is absent for sixty (60) minutes or less of the regularly scheduled school day is tardy.
For the purposes of establishing a student’s status as a truant, a student’s attendance record is
cumulative for an entire school year. When students transfer from one Kentucky district to another,
attendance information from the previous district shall become part of their official attendance record
for that school year.
38
Truancy Procedure
When a student accumulates three (3) unexcused absences, the school will inform the Director of
Student Services. If a student accumulates four (4) unexcused absences, the Director of Student Services
will notify the parent via letter or home visit as a plea to correct the truancy problem. Parents will receive
a final notice of impending legal action via a letter or home visit if the student accumulates five (5)
unexcused absences. Additional unexcused absences could result in court action for educational neglect
against the parents and/or truancy petition being filed against the student.
Excused Absences
1. An excused absence or tardiness is one for which work may be made up, such as:
2. Death or severe illness in the pupil's immediate family,
3. Illness of the pupil,
4. Religious holidays and practices,
5. If approved in advance by the Principal, one (1) day for attendance at the Kentucky State Fair, or
6. Documented military leave,
7. One (1) day prior to departure of parent/guardian called to active military duty,
8. One (1) day upon the return of parent/guardian from active military duty, or
9. Other valid reasons as determined by the Principal, including trips qualifying as educational
enhancement opportunities.
39
Doctor’s Excuses
Chronic medical conditions that result in excessive absences or require frequent visits to the doctor will
require a medical release form signed by the student’s doctor and a school plan of care developed by a
school health care review committee. The review committee may include, but not limited to: the
principal, assistant principal, school nurse, guidance counselor, district administrative staff, child’s
parent, and child’s doctor.
A maximum of eight (8) absences or tardies per school year [maximum of four (4) per semester for
grades on semester block schedules] may be excused by parent note or parent call-in for illness or other
approved absence per District policy. A statement from a medical practitioner, dentist, or county health
department official will be required for any additional absences.
Any parent notes for illness [maximum of eight (8)] for absences and all medical practitioners’
statements must be submitted to the school attendance secretary within three (3) days of the absence(s)
or the absence(s) shall be recorded as unexcused.
In cases where students transfer from one school to another during the school year, the student’s
excused and unexcused cumulative attendance record will also transfer to the new school.
Suspension
Suspensions shall be considered unexcused absences for the purpose of makeup work.
