Student Messages
We ask that before you leave for school in the
morning you make sure your student has all homework, projects, music,
instruments, athletic clothing, and their lunch. Please be sure your student(s)
know where they will be going after school. At all times, we try to prevent
classes from being interrupted by unscheduled visitors, so if you should, on
rare occasion, happen to forget something for your student, all messages and
forgotten items can be left off in the school office, with the exception of forgotten
lunches which may be left on a designated table down in the cafeteria, marked “Monahan
Table”.
Messages left on the phone during the last half-hour of
school may go unnoticed until it is too late. If you need to leave a message for your
child please make sure you try to physically speak with someone. Again, traffic in the office may
prohibit the time needed to check messages..^
VISITORS
All visitors must report to the office to sign in, and wear a "Visitor
Badge". This includes parents who stay to help in the classrooms, or stay
for any length of time, other than bringing children to the classroom before
school and picking them up after school. ^
USE
OF TELEPHONE AND COPY MACHINE
The
phones in the office are for business only. The school is limited to two lines,
which are generally constantly in use by teachers and office. Except in cases of emergency, teachers
or students are not called to
the phone during school hours.
Students may use the school phone only with good reason and with the
written permission of their classroom teacher. Arranging social visits is not
considered a good reason to use the phone.
Please take care of after school arrangements, including who picks up
kids, before children leave for school in the morning.
Cell
phones may be used by students before 8:05, but all cell phones will be
collected by 8:15 a.m. and may be picked-up by 2:05 (T) or 3:05 (MWThF). This allows students to focus on their
studies during the course of the day.
Parents should phone the school in the event of a family emergency
and we will transmit the message to the student. Arrangements for pick-up and/or after
school plans should be communicated to the student before he/she leaves
for school in the morning.
The
paper used for the copy machine, and the copy machine maintenance agreement is
budgeted annually based on the usage by teachers and office. We respectfully request that only
teachers and administration use the copy machine. Students are not to use the copy machine
at all. Those parents who are in
charge of promotions, communications, and marketing for fundraisers and
Councils must have copies made by a local copier, such as Kinkos. Receipts for reimbursement are then
submitted to the treasurer of the sponsoring organization. ^
