Students should report directly to the cafeteria upon arrival to school. To help Central Elementary follow its School Safety Plan, please do not leave your child on campus before 7:35 am or after 3:20 pm. No adult supervision is provided before 7:35 am or after 3:20 pm. MORNING CAR RIDERS Morning car riders may not be dropped off before 7:35am. The front driveway of Central Elementary School is a one-way drive. Cars will turn right and enter the driveway in front of the main building. Cars must stop at the main entrance walkway to unload students. Students must enter the building through the main office doors. Cars will turn right and park in the faculty parking lot. Students and parents/guardians/guardians must enter the building through the main office doors. No students and parents/guardians/guardians will be allowed to enter the main building through the side or back doors. Parking in front of the school is reserved for Pre-K so that they may follow the mandatory drop off procedures. Pre-K parents/guardians must walk their children to the Pre-K classrooms and sign them in with their teachers. Thank you for helping keep our open campus a “safe school” by following these safety procedures. AFTERNOON CAR RIDERS All afternoon car riders will be dismissed from their classrooms at 3:20 pm. Faculty members will escort afternoon car riders to the front of the building. Faculty members will assist with afternoon line up and dismissal of cars from campus. The names of parents/guardians/guardians who do not follow the procedures of the faculty member on duty will be turned over to the Northampton County School Transportation Department. Parents/guardians who would like to visit their child’s classroom after school, should park in the faculty parking lot. Parents/guardians must enter the building through the main office doors. Teachers will escort their classes to the bus parking lot and will not return to their classrooms after buses have departed the campus due to faculty meetings. Please make appointments with your child’s teacher. Car riders who have not been picked up by 3:20 pm will return to their teachers’ classrooms. Parents/guardians will be required to come into the building to pick their children up after 3:30 pm. Parking in front of the school is reserved for Pre-K so that they may follow the mandatory pick up procedures of Pre-K students. Pre-K parents must go to the Pre-K classrooms to sign their child out from their teachers. Thank you for helping keep our open campus a “safe school” by following these procedures. 6 AFTERNOON BUS RIDERS Bus riders will be dismissed at 3:20 pm. Buses will leave campus at approximately 3:30 pm. Bus riders will load buses in the bus parking lot. Students will not ride other buses without proper authorization from the parent/guardian and the administration. In lieu of phone call changes, please make arrangements to have someone intercept your child at his/ her scheduled bus stop. The best solution is for parents/guardians to know exactly which bus their child needs to ride each afternoon and send a note to the teacher when changes are necessary. For safety reasons, Central Elementary School must have a written note with a parent/guardian signature as documentation each time a bus change is requested. Also, the office is a very busy part of our school and many situations are occurring as it gets close to 3:00 pm that may interfere with communications. Therefore the school cannot be held liable when a child is not permitted to ride a different bus because proper documentation was not sent to school. SCHOOL MEALS All students in Northampton County Schools will receive free breakfast and lunch during the 2017-2018 school year. Central Elementary School will continue participating in “Grab and Go Breakfast” during the 2017-2018 school year. When students enter the building in the morning they will find a Grab and Go station located in the cafeteria. Students will walk to the Grab and Go station, pick up their breakfast, and eat in the cafeteria. Morning work will end and classroom instruction will begin at 8:00 am. Students arriving to school after 8:00 am will not be allowed to eat breakfast. ATTENDANCE Regular attendance is a must for Central Elementary Cubs to perform well academically every day. Students who miss more than 18 days a school year may not be promoted to the next grade according to Northampton County Board Policy.

Panel Reviewing the Impact of Hurricane Katrina on Communications Networks (EB Docket 06-119) Dear Ms. Dortch: On September 1, 2015, the undersigned President of the National Association of Black Owned Broadcasters, Inc. ("NABOB") along with Francisco Montero of Fletcher, Heald & Hildreth, PLC, and David Honig, President Emeritus and Senior Advisor, Multicultural Media, Telecommunications and Internet Council ("MMTC") met with Commissioner Ajit Pai and Alison Nemeth, Legal Advisor, to discuss the most important and effective proposal set forth in the AM Revitalization Notice: opening an application filing window for FM translators that would be limited to AM broadcast licensees. As the Commission recognized in the Notice, the best way to help the largest number of AM stations to quickly and efficiently improve their service is to open such an AM-only window. Any other approach will make it extremely difficult, if not impossible, for AM stations, to obtain the translators they urgently need to remain competitive and provide our communities with the service they deserve.

  • Revitalization of the AM Radio Service ) ) ) )
    Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, DC In the matter of: ) ) Revitalization of the AM Radio Service ) MB Docket 13-249 ) ) COMMENTS OF REC NETWORKS One of the primary goals of REC Networks (“REC”)1 is to assure a citizen’s access to the airwaves. Over the years, we have supported various aspects of non-commercial micro- broadcast efforts including Low Power FM (LPFM), proposals for a Low Power AM radio service as well as other creative concepts to use spectrum for one way communications. REC feels that as many organizations as possible should be able to enjoy spreading their message to their local community. It is our desire to see a diverse selection of voices on the dial spanning race, culture, language, sexual orientation and gender identity. This includes a mix of faith-based and secular voices. While REC lacks the technical knowledge to form an opinion on various aspects of AM broadcast engineering such as the “ratchet rule”, daytime and nighttime coverage standards and antenna efficiency, we will comment on various issues which are in the realm of citizen’s access to the airwaves and in the interests of listeners to AM broadcast band stations. REC supports a limited offering of translators to certain AM stations REC feels that there is a segment of “stand-alone” AM broadcast owners. These owners normally fall under the category of minority, women or GLBT/T2. These owners are likely to own a single AM station or a small group of AM stations and are most likely to only own stations with inferior nighttime service, such as Class-D stations.
