5 Things You Need To Know

Student email accounts ● Every student is assigned an email address. Your username is your six-digit student number (ex. [email protected]). All email is administered by Gmail, so you will have access to your student account at home through your Chromebook or personal device. Email South Faculty ● All staff emails are formatted as [email protected] and can also be found through your Sapphire account. When emailing your teachers, you may also find them while you are composing an email in your school email account by putting their last name into the To: menu and choosing the correct person’s email. Grades Online ● Your grades are available at any time through your Sapphire account. Your parents can also see your grades through their access to the Sapphire Community Portal. You need to know your login credentials to access the gradebook; see guidance to set up your Sapphire access. This is a great way for you to keep up with what work is assigned and due. Guidance Office ● If you have a question or problem and don’t know who to turn to, start with your Guidance Counselor ● Go to the Guidance Office if you: o Need to see your counselor o Have questions about your schedule o Have questions about colleges or careers o Need to set up or reset your Sapphire access o Need working papers; transcripts; The East Stroudsburg Area School District issues Pennsylvania work permits to all minors who reside in the school district. To obtain a PA work permit from the school district: 1. The student must be planning to work in Pennsylvania. Other states, including New York and New Jersey, do not have reciprocal work arrangements and a work permit must be obtained from the school district where the employer is located in that state. 2. The student must be a resident of the East Stroudsburg Area School District. If the student is not a school district resident, he or she should obtain a work permit from the school district in which they reside. Note: If the student is living out of state and working within the East Stroudsburg Area School District, the school district can issue a work permit. 3. The student will need to come to the main office of the high school which they attend, or would attend, and obtain the proper forms. The student will need to produce the following documents before obtaining a work permit: a. Original or copy of birth certificate, baptismal certificate, passport or photo driver's license. 4. A parent or guardian must appear before the issuer of the work permit.

6 5. IMPORTANT! The student must be present when the work permit is issued and a signature of a parent or guardian must be executed at the high school main office at the time of issuance or the signature must be notarized on an attestation document. This is a state mandate. ● The best time to see your counselor is before or after school (by appointment, unless it’s an emergency) or by appointment during the day. Chromebooks ● South employs a one-to-one initiative with Chromebooks. They will be distributed to students on the first day of school and will be your responsibility for the year. Make sure you carry your Chromebook in a protective case; charge it each night; and have your charger with you in school, in case it loses its charge. You are responsible for making sure you have your Chromebook each and every day and that it is fully charged to avoid discipline issues. ● See the Student Device Handbook for more information ​ ​ o Some families may qualify for low-cost internet access. Visit www.everyoneon.org to ​ ​ see if you qualify for home Wi-Fi for as little as $10/month. Attendance ● If you are late to school or need to leave early, you will need to stop by the office with a note from your parent/guardian.

o In accordance with PA Truancy Law, notes must include the reason for absence in order to be excused.

● If you are absent from school, you have three days when you return in order to turn in your excuse note. Turn the note into your homeroom teacher and they will give you a receipt for the note. Keep the receipt in case there is any confusion. Bus Schedules ● Buses run before and after school. Don’t forget your school ID! ● Make sure you are at your bus stop on time! The bus will not wait for you because it has a schedule to keep. ● Your bus schedule is available to you through email or a letter mailed home. ● There are 2 activity buses after school: o 4:20 bus is for clubs and activities meeting after school. These buses leave from the front of the school at the main lobby. o 5:30 bus is for athletes where practice goes later than the first activity bus. These buses leave from the back of the school by the stadium.

Parking (Permit Only)

● Parking permits can be obtained in the Security Office on the first floor of the Maple Building. Permits cost $10. Parking is a privilege so please drive carefully and respectfully through the school’s parking lots. Student parking is in Lot D, by the tennis courts behind the red line and lots behind the stadium.

School Calendar ● A school calendar will be distributed to each student at the beginning of the school year. Any adjustments to the school calendar due to weather, emergencies, or other unforeseen issues can be found on the ESASD homepage by clicking on the calendar summary.

How Do I Find Out How My Child Is Doing In School?

Sapphire ● Student grades can be accessed from the district website, www.esasd.net. Click on Sapphire ​ in the site shortcuts list on the left. When Sapphire opens, click the “Community Portal” icon and log in using your username, password, and pin.

Student Report Cards ● Report cards are delivered electronically through Sapphire. While you have access to grades at all times, report cards are the final accounting of student grades in a marking period.

8

Parent/Teacher Conferences ● Parent/Teacher conferences are usually held twice a year, once in the fall semester and once in the spring semester, however you should check to school calendar to be sure. Staff members are available for conferences from noon to 8:30 PM. You can also schedule an appointment with your student’s teacher if you need to meet at another time. 1. To schedule an appointment with a teacher, call or email the teacher and express your concern and desire to meet. 2. If a phone conference is necessary, please remember that the teacher may not be able to meet any time of day, but before and/or after school is usually a good time for all teachers.
