Newsletter August-September 2013
INDIANA AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT EAST PIKE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL August Mr. Donald Springer, Principal [email protected] www.iasd.cc PRINCIPAL NOTES… It is hard to believe that I am working on the August Newsletter already. It surprises me just how fast time goes by. This summer we hired Jen Moore as our new speech and language teacher at East Pike. She has been in several days this summer and is very excited to become a part of the East Pike family as well. Many of you know that we received a grant to implement a Pre-K program. We have been very busy interviewing, planning and ordering the necessary supplies to make sure this program is a huge success. I am excited to announce that Denise Dragich will be the teacher in this program at East Pike. Denise is a former principal and first and second grade teacher at Horace Mann. We are lucky to have her on board and part of the family. Please make sure to say thank you to Joe, John, Tony, and George when you see them. I also wanted to reach out to Don Verheyen who painted this summer. Three rooms received new carpeting and a fresh paint of coat as well. It has been challenging for them to get everything clean and shiny with the summer programs in the building but it will be ready for sure. Please enjoy the remaining days of summer vacation. We are all working very hard to put the final touches on East Pike before the 2013 – 2014 school year takes off. Sherry is scheduled to officially begin working in a few days, even though she has been in and out throughout the summer to make sure that I have stayed on track. I am certain that with your support, dedication, and communication, this school year will be a huge success. Mr. Springer 2013 Telephone: 724-463-8567 Fax: 724-717-1080 SUPERINTENDENT NOTES… School Day: The dismissal time for elementary school students will be extended 15 minutes to 3:45 p.m. The time will be used to increase instruction math and language arts. This change is necessary due to an extension of the high school day to ten periods. A ten period day at the high school will help the school district meet financial challenges and maintain programs. The later high school dismissal time impacts the elementary schedule because of the time needed to complete secondary bus runs and return for elementary dismissal. The middle school and high school dismissal will be 2:40 p.m. Security: Physical and procedural changes to improve school security will be evident. Physical changes vary by school and include main entrances, exterior and interior doors, communication systems and video surveillance. Procedural changes will be in place at all schools and include locked doors after school and no admittance during the school day unless arranged in advance. No one should arrive at a school unannounced and expect to be allowed in. The inconvenience caused by these changes will increase the safety of students and staff. Dale R. Kirsch Superintendent SCHOOL YEAR 2013-2014… The first day of the 2013-14 school year is Tuesday, August 27th. If you know families whose children will be new students at East Pike, please encourage them to enroll their children as soon as possible. Enrollment packets can be picked up at the school between 7:30 AM and 3:00 PM Monday through Thursday. THE EAST PIKE OFFICE… The School Office is closed at 4:00 PM daily. Should you have a bus issue or need to contact someone about the arrival time of your child after this time please contact Krise Bus Service, Inc. at 724-349-394. IASD WEBSITE… Keep up with school district news and events on our website at www.iasd.cc IT’S THE SAME SITE ONLY A DIFFERENT LOOK… Next time you log onto the District site, check out the East Pike page! We will be using this as a way to quickly get announcements out to our families. There is also a calendar page so that we may provide up-to-date events and programs. A REMINDER TO PARENTS… Car Kid requests will be taken to the office only until 2:15 each day. Parents who have submitted a note or contacted the school prior to 2:15 will be using the circle area for pick up this year. You will drive around the loop and remain in your car to wait for your child. A staff member will have a clipboard with the car kids listed on it. They will have the children on the sidewalk and make a one on one connection and then walk the child to your car. It is important that you do not block the bus lane when attempting to pull into the loop. Several staff members will be in the circle area to help make this process smooth and safe. Parents who do not contact the school prior to 2:15 and want to take their child(ren) home, will have to park in the parking lot and then walk to the sidewalk by the entrance doors. You will need to sign your child out with one of the school staff members and then wait until your child’s bus number has been called. Remember, dismissal is at 3:45 PM. HAS YOUR ADDRESS, E-Mail, OR PHONE NUMBER CHANGED?… Please keep the school informed if there are any changes in your address, e-mail, or telephone number. It is most important that we be able to get in touch with you in case of illness or injury with your child(ren). ATTENTION PARENTS…if you are planning on picking your child up before the 3:45 dismissal time you will need to provide a note to your child’s teacher and the office. PLEASE BE AWARE… It is important for your child to attend school on a daily basis. Please review these arrival and dismissal times and what it may mean for your child in these events. Starting time 9:05 AM Dismissal 3:45 PM Arrival between 9:05 AM and 10:40 AM = Tardy Arrival between 10:40 AM and 12:30 PM = ½ day absent. Arrival after 12:30 PM = Full day absent Departure between 11:30 AM and 1:00 PM And NOT returning to school = ½ day absent. Students are not to arrive at school before 8:40 AM. We cannot guarantee supervision for students who arrive early. Scheduled early dismissals are at 12:00 PM. SCHOOL PROCEDURES… We cannot express enough the importance of the significant changes in place to improve school security in 2013-2014. These include locked doors at all schools immediately after the school day ends and no admittance to our buildings during the school day unless arranged in advance. If your child forgets something at school: please remind them the classrooms will be locked at 4:00 PM. The custodians cannot open them after that time. The building will be opened for scheduled activities, but not the classrooms or the office. Student Release from School: The Indiana Area School Board has adopted policies on the release of a student during school hours. We cannot release a student to any adult other than that student’s parent or guardian. The parent/guardian must come into the school office and “sign out” the student. If a parent/guardian does grant approval for the student to be released to an adult not identified as parent/guardian, a written request is required. Identification may be required from any adult who comes in to take the student off school grounds. The school reserves the right not to release a student to anyone other than the custodial parents if we have received a legal document determining custody. Please remember that all students must be signed in/out in the office. A parent/guardian should not proceed to a classroom – the student will be summoned to the office upon the arrival of the parent/guardian. If the student returns to school following his/her appointment, the parent/guardian must also sign the student “in” at the office. It is important that the school office is made aware of any changes in custody or living arrangements. Custody information must be kept current. If your child may only be released to a certain person or persons, it is critical that school personnel be informed and that we have a copy of the most recent official custody order on file. This information is needed for our professional use only and will be treated confidentially. We would be happy to discuss any questions or concerns that you may have. ATTENDANCE GUIDELINES… Please call the school office (724-463-8567) by 9:30 AM if your child is absent from school. Unless we have had contact with the parent/guardian of an absent student, a phone call will be placed to the home of each absent student. When a child is absent a written excuse from the parent/guardian is required when the student returns to school. The excuse is required within 3 school days following the student’s return. If the reason for the absence is not valid, or the excuse is not submitted within the 3 day limit, the absence will be recorded as unexcused. Excused absences from school are for reasons of illness, recovery from an accident, required court attendance, or death in the family. Requests for approval for educational trips must be made to the principal in writing and in advance. FREE & REDUCED LUNCH APPLICATIONS… MY CHILD’S APPLICATION WAS APPROVED LAST YEAR. DO I NEED TO FILL OUT ANOTHER ONE? Yes. Your child’s application is only good for that school year and for the first 30 operating days of this school year. You must send in a new application by October 8, 2013 unless the school told you that your child has been directly certified for free meals for the new school year. If a new application is NOT filed by this date, the responsibility is yours for any charges incurred before a new application is approved. THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL MENU… August 27, 2013 Breakfast: Whole Grain Cinnamon Toast, Turkey Sausage Patty, Assorted Fruit Juices and Milk Alternates: Assorted Cereals, Pop Tarts and Muffins; Bagels w/ Cream Cheese Lunch: Baked Macaroni & Cheese, Dinner Roll, Hot Fresh Vegetable Medley, Fresh Baby Carrots, Chilled Peaches Alternates: Nacho Fun Lunch: Corn Chips, Sauce & Cheese Tony's Whole Grain French Bread Pizza SCHOOL PICTURES… “BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT”… This evening is designed for parents. We will provide an overview of your child’s school program in the classroom. We hope that you will mark your calendar and plan to attend. September 18th (Wednesday) – 6:30 PM – for Grades 1-5 Time will not be provided this evening for individual conferences. If you would want an individual conference, time can be scheduled at a mutually convenient time. A brief membership meeting of the PTA will follow meetings in the classrooms. East Pike School is scheduled for Monday, September 9th. All students will have their picture taken on this scheduled day. The pictures are guaranteed, and you will receive a refund or a retake if you are not satisfied. Pre-pay envelopes will be sent home with your child the first week of school. Students’ pictures will be taken even if you do not wish to purchase a package, so that every child will appear on their class composite photo. If a student is absent on this date, there will be a picture make-up day, which will be determined by Lifetouch Picture Company. You will be notified of this date. If you would have any concerns or questions with your pictures please contact: Lifetouch at 1866-955-8342 or mylifetouch.com. BUS ASSIGNMENTS… These will be mailed home. Please DO NOT change buses unless it is urgent. If you must request a change, notify Mr. Springer in writing at least one day in advance. If a child is to travel to another home after school, we will need a note from the parents of both children to assure the safety of your child. Be sure your child rides the bus the first day so that any problems can be identified and corrected as soon as possible. SCHOOL BUSES… Students should be at the assigned bus stop about 5-10 minutes early in case the schedule fluctuates. If your child misses the bus, it becomes your responsibility to see that he or she gets to school. We encourage all students to ride the bus each day so that they do not arrive at school too early or late. Please remind your child about bus safety and bus behavior, as we will do at school. Inappropriate behavior can result in suspension of bus privileges. Should your child be suspended from the bus, it again becomes your responsibility to see that the child gets to school. Please remember that a video camera has been installed on each bus as an aid to monitor behavior. CELL PHONE POLICY. . . On the first day of school, you will receive the IASD Attendance, Behavioral Guidelines and Discipline Policy Handbook. It is important that you read this with your child and understand attendance and discipline policies. Please pay special attention to the cell phone policy. Cell phones must be turned off and remain in students’ backpacks. The last page of the booklet is to be signed by the parent and student and returned to school. Please contact Mr. Springer with any questions. VIDEOTAPES AND PHOTOGRAPHS… During the school year we videotape and photograph many school activities, such as concerts and plays. In addition, student teachers are often required to videotape themselves teaching a lesson. If you have any objection to your child being photographed or videotaped, please write a letter to Mr. Springer as soon as possible. Be sure to include your child’s name. SCHOOL DELAYS OR CANCELLATIONS…In bad weather, or for any emergency when school may be closed, delayed, or dismissed early, announcements will be made on the radio and TV. Radio stations announcing this information are: WCCS (1160 AM) and WDAD (1450AM). TV stations are: WTAE (Channel 4) and WPXI (Channel 11). If you are connected to the Internet, go to www.iu28.org/ and click on “Schoolcast” for the latest information on school closings and delays. PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE SCHOOL. We must keep our phone lines open for emergency communications. Be sure to have a back up plan with your children in case of an unscheduled early dismissal. Arrangements should be made ahead of time for emergency childcare if needed. DELAY TO CANCELLATION…Sometimes school is cancelled after a delay has been called. Continue to listen to your radio/TV for updates. 2-HOUR DELAYS…Children who ride buses should report to their bus stop 2 hours later than normal. All children should report to school by 11:05 AM. Breakfast will not be served on days with a delay. Dismissal will be at 3:45 PM, as usual. EARLY DISMISSALS…It is important that parents establish a plan for their children in the event of an unscheduled early dismissal. Your children should know what they are to do if school is dismissed early. It is impossible for us to alert everyone by phone when this happens. With the new auto-dialer system we can now notify parents of an early dismissal. The system will continue to call until it reaches a person. It will not leave a message. PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE SCHOOL. We must keep our phone lines open for emergency communications. PARTY INVITATIONS… Party invitations may ONLY be distributed at school if every member of the child’s class is invited, (or all the boys in the class for a boy’s party or all the girls in the class for a girl’s party). Children’s feelings are easily hurt when they are not included for these events, so we respectfully ask that parents mail invitations when fewer students are involved. Thank you for your cooperation. EMERGENCY CARDS… New Emergency Care cards will be sent home with your child. Please review the information for each child. Please sign, date, and return them to school by the end of the first week of school. One card will be for the nurse’s office, and the other card will be for the school office. Be sure to contact the school office if there would be an address or telephone change during the school year. Also, if you would want to change or add the name of the person for us to contact in case of an emergency, please call the office at your earliest convenience. NURSE’S CORNER: SOME HELPFUL TIPS TO START OFF THE YEAR! Encourage your child to get enough sleep. At least 10 hours of sleep each night is a good rule of thumb – more sleep is even better if possible. Start the day off with a nutritious breakfast. Remember breakfast is available here at school as well. Provide a nutritious lunch for your child. If your child buys lunch, review the menu together and discuss making wise, healthy selections. Encourage your child to drink water throughout the day to help avoid dehydration, irritated throat, and coughs. Help to keep your child’s stress level down through good communication and consistently reviewing your family’s schedule. Remember to encourage your child to exercise regularly for better heath. Tennis shoes are the appropriate footwear for physical education. Please encourage your child to wear tennis shoes to gym class to avoid foot and ankle injuries. GOING GREEN… East Pike Is GREEN! We are sending our Newsletters and other announcements/flyers to parents/guardians through email. This will allow you to receive news and other information quickly. We are using a secure address so that no one else will be able to have your e-mail address.
