Extended Day/After School Programs

 

 

Morning Procedures

• Students should report immediately to their assigned places. 
• First bell rings at 7:35 a.m. Teachers will pick up their students and move to classrooms.
• The late bell rings at 7:45 a.m. Students who are not in classrooms by 7:45 a.m. will be marked tardy.
• Parents must sign in tardy students in the office.

Afternoon Double Carline Procedures

• All cars enter the front carline and remain behind the cones.
• Make 2 lanes once you are on campus.  
  • Vehicles should remain in ONE lane on E Old Marion Highway to allow for moving traffic. 
• At the curve, a staff member will look for your Timrod carline tag displayed in the rearview mirror facing forward.  Tags will have the student’s name on it.
• A staff member will radio the student’s name.
• At this point, it is VERY important not to change lanes and not to remove car tags from windows. This is how we identify cars for children.
• When the students' names are called, they will gather under the covered porch areas. Cars should be placed in PARK.
• Once all cars have stopped, students will be directed to load: 
  • Driver/passengers should remain in cars. 
  • PLEASE do not motion for your child to cross over traffic to get to your car. They will be told when to load their car.
  • Once your child is safely in your car, do not proceed until directed by a carline staff member. This will keep everyone safe.
• A designated staff member will motion for the first 10 cars on each side to exit. 
• If your child is not outside when it is time for them to get into your car, you will be directed to the parking lot or front sidewalk area on the right side. 
• If you need to buckle your child into a car seat, please remain inside your car, pull over at the front sidewalk area.
• Once you exit, you may turn right or left. PLEASE adhere to this procedure carefully so that we can continue to keep all of our families safe.
• All car riders must be picked up in the front of the building by 2:30PM. Parents must sign students out from the office after 2:45pm.

 

Please keep your car line tag displayed until you have your child.

Homework Policy

Homework is an extension to class instruction; therefore, it is important that assigned homework is completed each night. Homework provides an opportunity for students to apply and enhance their skills. It gives students a chance to amend their mistakes and improve on their weaknesses. Overall, homework enhances academic achievement.
Reading logs and student agendas should be signed each night as a part of homework. Homework is not an option and should be completed when assigned. The following homework policy will be implemented and will start over at the beginning of each month. We need the support of our teachers and parents for our students to become responsible and successful. Please check your child’s agenda for assignments and important messages.

HOMEWORK POLICY
 

Grade 1: 30 minutes or less
Grades 2 – 3: 45 minutes or less
Grades 4 – 6: 20 minutes per academic subject

Daily homework is an important extension of the classroom and should be
appropriate for the age and ability of the students as directed by the district
homework guidelines. Homework should only be assigned when a concept or skill
has been well explained and understood by the students. It should never include
skills not previously taught. Homework should be more than merely completing
classwork outside of class. It should be assigned to provide meaningful practice for
the student or diagnosis for the teacher.
Homework should never be used as a punishment or a time filler. Under normal
circumstances, a distinction should be made between classroom and homework
assignments.

The following practices are NOT acceptable:

• Grading of homework as a daily grade (if a child has a homework
  assignment, brings in the assignment, but provides incorrect answers for 7 of
  10 problems, the child has made an effort but is penalized because the effort
  is not perfect).
• The assignment of all problems or sentences to every student just because
  they are on the page - there should be some purpose to the assignment.
• Homework that is assigned but not checked in some manner.
• Homework grades for a specific time period being computed as a test grade.
