7 GENERAL INFORMATION

SHELTON VIEW ELEMENTARY...... 425-408-5200 School start times are as follows: 1st through 6th grade starts at 9:10 a.m. and lets out at 3:40. For safety reasons we don’t allow students on the grounds before 8:50 a.m., the time when adult supervision starts. Wednesdays are “Early Release” days at 2:10 pm.

ABSENCES/TARDINESS: Every day of school is important and consistent attendance is critical for your child’s success. Regular school attendance is necessary for mastery of the educational program provided students. Daily attendance and active participation in each subject are critical to the learning process. Students, at times, may appropriately be absent from class.

Excused Absences are as follows: Illness or health condition, religious observance (when requested by a student’s parent); school-approved activities; family emergencies; required court proceedings and, as required by law, disciplinary actions or short-term suspension.

Absence due to Illness: A student should not be sent to school if he/she shows signs of illness. A sick child will be detained in the nurse’s office until the parent has been called to come and take the child. If your child becomes seriously ill at home, please notify the school office about the condition. By state law, a note to the teacher must be sent after each absence. If your child will be absent from school due to illness, please phone our attendance line at 425-408-5210.

Pre-Planned Absence: Absences other than illness, including vacations and appointments. Please schedule family trips during non-school days and schedule appointments after school hours. It is very difficult to make up lost instructional time. (See pg. 9)

Please be aware that by missing a day or a number of days from school, your child will:  Miss newly introduced concepts and skills in reading, writing, math, science, health, and social studies  Miss activities, projects, and classroom events that cannot be made up  Need extra support at home with assignments upon returning from the absence  Not be provided assignments in advance of their absence  Need to make up assignments/projects as decided by the classroom teacher upon return  Experience a setback in academic progress

Avoid Tardiness: Students should be at school no later than 9:15 A.M. when the first bell rings. Any student who arrives after the 9:20 A.M. tardy bell must report to the office to check in to avoid being marked absent for the day. Help your child start the day in a positive manner by arriving on time, well-fed, and ready for learning.

8 REQUESTS FOR HOMEWORK IN ADVANCE OF A PREPLANNED ABSENCE:

Accountability For Learning. Public schools are held accountable for learning according to state and federal guidelines. Our foremost job is to make sure all students are well served in an appropriate and timely manner. The teaching schedule leaves little room to accommodate for frequent or extended student absences. Classroom teachers are rarely able to supply make-up work that adequately replaces missed instructional experiences.

In The Classroom. Elementary education today incorporates considerably more interactive processes that cannot be duplicated outside of the classroom setting. These include student-to-student collaboration, small group work, hands-on learning, discovery/inquiry experiences, and classroom discussion, as well as, interaction with teachers and specialists.

Missed Work. It is not possible for the teacher to give the child or the parent all the information required to understand the lessons missed due to absences. Without having participated in the classroom learning, the student will have difficulty doing the related follow-up assignment or related homework. Moreover, teachers adjust their plans, based on classroom progress, individual student need, special events, and testing schedules.

Requests for Homework in Advance of a Preplanned Absence: Some families may choose to take vacations outside of Northshore School District’s scheduled vacation dates. Please understand, however, that teachers will not be able to provide lesson materials or homework in advance and should not be expected to provide an alternative assignment for extended vacation absences. Students may make up work when they return, at the teacher’s discretion. Makeup work does not replace the shared learning experience of the classroom.

Please be aware that by missing a day or a number of days from school, your child will:  Miss newly introduced concepts and skills in reading, writing, math, science, health, and social studies  Miss activities, projects, and classroom events that cannot be made up  Need extra support at home with assignments upon returning from the absence  Not be provided assignments in advance of their absence  Need to make up assignments/projects as decided by the classroom teacher upon return  Experience a setback in academic progress

9 ACCIDENTS: If a student is injured at school, the nurse or another adult competent in first aid will give him/her emergency first aid treatment. The parents will be called immediately. If they are not available, the emergency numbers listed on the emergency health form will be called. If no one is available to come for the child, we will use our best judgment on whether to call a doctor or 911. Your assistance in providing complete emergency information to the school is extremely important and appreciated. AFTER SCHOOL PICK-UP: Please be prompt in picking up your child after school, if you do parent pick-up. Our office staff will not be available past 4:00 p.m. to monitor your student(s). BICYCLE RIDING/ROLLERBLADES/SKATEBOARDING For reasons of safety, bicycles should not be ridden to school. Rollerblading and skateboarding on campus is prohibited. BUS STANDARD: A good number of students ride the school bus. From a safety standpoint, it is imperative that proper behavior be rigidly adhered to at the bus stop and during the ride on the bus (see page titled “Bus rules.”) Parents will be notified of infractions of any consequence. We too, would appreciate being informed of behavior contributing to unsafe conditions. If it is necessary for you to take a bus other than the regularly assigned one or you are getting off at another stop, a note to this effect must be sent to the office for clearance. We would consider the following points to be basic of our bus students: 1. Come to the bus stop and wait in an orderly manner. Any type of misbehavior at the bus stop can be considered poor school citizenship and handled accordingly. Students should stay off any private property adjoining the bus stop. Students are to ride only the bus to which they have been assigned. 2. Enter the bus and be seated immediately three to a seat when necessary. 3. Be courteous to the bus driver and to each other. 4. Do not put arms or head out the window or throw anything from or in the bus. 5. Shouting is prohibited. Flagrant violations of good bus citizenship will be cause for losing bus privileges. DRESS: Experience has shown that there is a relationship between behavior and dress. We trust that students and parents will work together in determining a workable and comfortable standard. Consideration should be given for the influence our attire will have on others. In hot weather, walking shorts are allowed but judgment regarding modesty and appropriateness of school clothing is requested. No short-shorts, halter tops, tank tops, with skinny straps, tops that expose midriffs, T-shirts with drug/alcohol/tobacco messages and obscene messages are not allowed. No shoes with flip-down skates and no Flip-flops and backless shoes can be worn at school, as they are a safety hazard on the playground and in P.E. class. Children will be sent to the school nurse to change clothes and in some cases a phone call home will be needed, if violated.

10 EARLY DISMISSAL: Those students, requiring early dismissal for any purpose, need to present a note signed by their parents to the office for clearance before the school day begins. Parents need to meet their students in the office and sign them out. The office will page them in the classroom. EARLY RELEASE DAYS: The Northshore School District community desired an early release over a late start and they worked to develop a schedule that honored their wishes while balancing district academic and instructional needs. Early release days will be on Wednesdays. Champions Daycare at Shelton View will offer fee-based after-school child care/programming will work with our school to help address individual needs for Wednesdays. In addition, the district has compiled a list of licensed childcare providers by school for families who may need additional student supervision support. EMERGENCY SCHOOL CLOSURE: If it should ever be necessary to close school for an emergency prior to normal closing time, our PTA has established a phone tree to notify parents of closure, but it would be clearly impossible to reach each parent. Therefore, each student must know what to do in case you were not home or immediately available. Please discuss and periodically review your safety plan so each student knows whether to go home or to a neighbor, and what to do until you arrive home. This advance planning will assure safety and peace of mind should an emergency occur. We also have an Emergency Container with food and supplies, which is monitored by our PTA for earthquake preparedness. HEALTH PROGRAM: Our health room will be used for emergency care and for students to await parent pick-up in case of illness. Space and personnel are not available to accommodate extended care or supervision in the health room. Our nurse is on-duty daily. She would be happy to converse with you regarding any school related health problems your child might have. For the benefit of the student’s health, we ask our parents to keep their child home 24 hours after the end of a fever. In the fall, the Snellen eye test is given to all students. The test does not identify all vision problems and is not intended as a substitute for periodic eye examinations by a doctor. A hearing test is given to all grades, with the exception of the 4th & 6th. Other youngsters may be given a hearing test upon referral by the teacher. There is a Scoliosis screening for all 5th graders. The health room phone number is 425-408-5206. HEALTH ROOM USE AND MEDICATION: For any prescription or non-prescription medication (aspirin, cough syrup, etc.) to be administered at school, even for one day only, will need to have a written request from both the parent and physician/dentist. The medication must come in a properly labeled prescription bottle. Forms are available at school for any medication (see the back of handbook for a sample form.) If your student is taking medication throughout the school year, please ask your pharmacist for an extra labeled bottle that can be used here at school and for field trips. A parent/guardian may administer medication to their child on a field trip using medication from home. Thank you for your cooperation.

11 HOLIDAYS AND CLASSROOM CELEBRATIONS: Each classroom usually plans two parties during the school year around holiday celebrations. Students wishing to have a birthday recognized by classmates may bring a quick treat to share at the end of lunch period (please no party favors, balloons or difficult to serve snacks.) Also, please check with the classroom teacher regarding students with food allergies. These arrangements should be made in advance with the classroom teacher. Please do not send balloon bouquets to school for celebrations. They are not allowed on buses, are a distraction and are easily damaged at school. LEAVING SCHOOL GROUNDS: No one is to leave the school grounds without permission. All excused dismissals from school must be cleared through the office. If it is necessary for a student to take the bus, other than the regularly assigned one, or if there is any deviation from the normal routine, a note to that effect must be sent to school. The school is responsible for your student’s safety, so students without notes will take their regular bus from school. Calls after school to home are not possible without serious delays for departing buses. LOST AND FOUND: Articles of clothing or other items found on the school grounds are taken to the hanging rack outside the custodian’s office. Any article marked with a child’s name, is returned to him/her. All lunch boxes, hats, gloves, coats, boots and other articles of clothing should be plainly marked. Unidentified items are kept on the hanging rack for a month and are donated to a charity if not claimed in that time period. Parents are welcome to check the lost and found for missing articles. The students may come before and after school and during recess breaks to check the hanging rack. We set it out every day for students to preview. Every year, our total of lost items grows, so please mark your child’s belongings. LUNCHES: We maintain a self-supporting, federally sponsored lunch program to provide a student with a nutritious well-balanced meal. We encourage students to buy lunch whenever possible. The lunch program will be in operation, beginning the first day of school. Payment is made via the “Bank-A-Meal” system. Each child will receive a card with his/her own number for payment and present it to the cooks at the time their lunch is served (they can pay for lunch or milk by the week, month, or year.) The classroom teachers keep the cards and the envelopes will come home with your students the first week of school. You may pay by cash or check (checks made payable to Northshore School District) also credit card, through the district office. Applications for free and reduced lunch are mailed home in the summer, but always available in the school office. Lunches are $2.75/milk $.50. OFFICE REMINDERS: The school office and front hallway are not places to visit with friends or bring minor complaints that can be handled by the school assistants or the classroom teacher. Please use the normal walking paths instead of the office hallway to go to the individual classrooms, library, and bus lines or recess area.

12 PETS: Dogs, no matter how friendly and gentle, are a danger on a school playground full of students engaged in activity. To aid us in insuring the safety of our students, dogs are not allowed on school grounds at any time. REPORTING: The school year is divided into four reporting periods. The first reporting period will occur at the beginning of November when parent/teacher conferences will be scheduled. At this time, parents or guardians of all students will come to school to meet with the teacher to discuss the student’s progress to-date. We encourage parents to confer with the teacher at any time during the school year, if you have a concern about your child’s progress. SAFETY DRILLS: Procedures for orderly evacuation in case of fire or earthquake emergency are taught in each classroom. We have drills each month for one of these areas: fire, earthquake, secure-in-place and lockdown. The district also conducts two all-district emergency drills per year. STUDENT COUNCIL: The student council is an organization that works together with the student body and the teachers to bring about positive leadership and school pride. We feel that experiences in student government are a valuable part of learning to live in our democratic society. The student council shall consist of a president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer. Each class will elect one student council representative and an alternate at the beginning of the school year. Special projects will occur throughout the year in school policy planning, community service and organizing recreational and school spirit events. Channel any suggestions you may have for the student council through the room representative. We welcome such suggestions. STUDENT INSURANCE: Several different types of coverage are available at quite reasonable rates. Information for your selection will be sent home during the opening days of school. If you do not receive the information, please contact our school office, and we will send it to you. STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS: In addition to our Student Council, we have other opportunities for boys and girls to participate in school activities. Our library helpers are composed of a large number of students from all grades who assist the Librarian throughout the year. Math Olympiad is available for 5th & 6th graders. In addition, our School Safety Patrol is open for anyone in grades 5 & 6. Interested students should contact the sponsoring staff member for details.

13 STUDENT PLACEMENT PROCEDURE: Beginning the second week in May, and all throughout August, the principal will meet with teachers at each grade level to begin forming classes for the following school year. We will consider factors such as: academic abilities, behavior, social mix and boy/girl ratio. Our grouping will prioritize balance, will strive to avoid non-productive social combinations, and will seek to match learning needs with teaching styles. This is accomplished with teacher input and any parent input that is given to the principal. A form for parent input comes out in the spring newsletter. Please know that regardless if we get the form back, your child will be carefully placed in a classroom that will hopefully match his/her needs. We will attempt to keep you posted as information becomes available.

Student placement assignments will be mailed to you in August before school starts. Your trust and support of that decision is extremely important to your child’s success. TELEPHONE USAGE: To avoid phone lines being tied up, the telephone in the office may be used only in case of emergency and only with the permission of the principal or office staff. Please avoid calling school with messages for your child by making arrangements at home prior to school whenever possible. This helps limit classroom intercom disruptions and also lessens the load on our busy office. Please feel free to contact teachers at school if concerns arise, either before or after school. Your discretion, however, in the frequency of parent interventions is asked in order that our students will learn independent problem solving and communication skills. Teachers should not be contacted at home unless the situation is emergent. If you wish to communicate with the teacher or another staff member, you may leave a message any time during school hours by calling the office at 425-408-5200. Our office staff will be happy to assist you. TEXTBOOK AND MATH MANIPULATIVE CARE: In most rooms, one or more textbooks are issued for student use, along with other math manipulatives e.g. calculators and templates. Textbooks are to be covered for better protection and to insure longer use. Students will be assessed for damages or loss. These items are on loan and are property of Northshore School District. VALUABLES: Students should not bring expensive items to school. Some examples are: trading cards, walkie-talkies, cell phones, remote control vehicles, Nintendo, Game boy, IPODs, roller blades/shoes, etc. NO items should be brought to school for sale.

14 VISITING SCHOOL: When visiting our school campus, please do not park in fire lanes or bus loading zones. Parents are welcome to visit our school. If you wish to visit a class, a call to the teacher prior to the desired date should be made. Remember that during class time, the teacher is too busy with the students for much conversation. Teachers will be happy to confer with parents during their planning period. A conference appointment may be made through the teacher. Any late lunches or homework/book drop-off may be left with the office staff. ALL VISITORS must report to the office to sign in and receive a visitor pass before going anywhere on campus, then sign out before leaving. This is for the safety of all staff and students. EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS: At Shelton View we are privileged to have several special programs. All the programs here are special because all the teachers and student are special. EAP (ELEMENTARY ADVANCED PLACEMENT): At Shelton View we have five EAP classrooms that service grades 2-6. The students for these classes are tested in the winter. Through this testing procedure, 1.5% of the top students in the district enter this program. ELL (ENGLSIH LANGUAGE LEARNERS): Our community has a growing population of English language learners or ELL students. ELL students are part of the basic education classes and school environment. They receive assistance in learning their new language from our ELL tutors in a one-on-one or small group setting. INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC: Instrumental music is offered to children in grades four to six through the music departments of the secondary schools. Students assigned to strings, beginning band or to intermediate band will ride a Junior High bus to the assigned school and have their practice session prior to be the beginning of the school day. LEARNING CENTER: The Learning Center serves children, grades 1-6, with specific learning disabilities in reading, written language and/or math. It also serves students with special needs such as behavior, health, etc. Each student who qualifies, under Special Education guidelines, for assistance in the Learning Center has an IEP (Individualized Education Plan.) The deficit areas are addressed with specific goals and objectives. Each student is academically reassessed each year and an IEP conference is scheduled with the parents. Each student coming to the Learning Center is assigned to a regular classroom. The students then go into the Learning Center to receive assistance in those areas of need outlined on their IEP. They participate in the regular classroom for all other subject.

15 LIBRARY: Shelton View has an excellent library and all children in school are encouraged to use it. Classes are scheduled at least once a week. You are also reminded that Bothell has a fine King County Library. Please encourage your children to take care of their books. Encyclopedias may not be taken home. 1. Our library is available to all students unless they prove by their actions to be unable to follow the rules of good library behavior. 2. Remember that students go to the library to study and to read, and should keep voices low. Visiting with friends should be done elsewhere. 3. A charge is made for damaged and lost books. Students who lose books must pay for the price of the book. Please make arrangements with our Librarian. Report lost or damaged books to the library immediately; someone may have found it and returned it. PHYSICAL EDUCATION: We will be happy to receive any medical instructions from a doctor relative to a student’s participation in physical education. If a modified program needs to be followed, a doctor’s note is expected. A note from home is necessary to request temporary exemption from class participation however, we do feel that all students should participate at all times in every activity presented.

20 ICE AND SNOW: When ice and snow prevail, our first concern is always the welfare and safety of the students. Should parents feel in their judgment, conditions are too hazardous, they may keep their children home and an excused absence will be given.

The radio stations have agreed to announce ONLY the schools that are to be closed, the schools that are to re-open after a closure, and schools that are running late. Time will not permit the stations to announce schools that are to open as usual. In bad weather, bus schedules may vary in time of pick-up and return trips home. Drivers are instructed to use extreme caution and to use their own discretion if portions of a route should be eliminated due to ice & snow. When secondary roads are closed, emergency routes may be necessary and parents should arrange transportation to the nearest highway that is open.
