BIRTHDAYS/CELEBRATIONS
If you would like your child to celebrate his/her birthday in school, our classroom teachers will help recognize them on their
special day with a song, special greeting and possibly even a birthday crown or sticker. Due to COVID-19, we are not allowing
birthday treats of any kind—edible or not— to be brought in for the 2020-21 school year.
FIELD TRIPS
Occasionally, the children will have opportunities to visit a local park or special event. Parents will be asked to sign a permission
slip for both bus and walking trips. Transportation for field trips is contracted through the school district transportation
department. Seat belts are not used on school buses with the exception of transporting children with special needs.
HELP FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES (504 PLAN)
If you child has an identified, documented diagnosis and needs accommodations, they may be eligible for support under Section
504 of the Rehabilitation Act. A 504 plan can provide accommodations through regular education. A 504 Plan would not apply if
your child is currently receiving special education services. For more information, contact your child's school administrator.
PERMISSION TO PHOTOGRAPH
Throughout the year, photos and videos are taken in classrooms, in school buildings, and at events by school district staff and
partner organizations for use in publications, on websites, in social media and for other outreach and public relations purposes. If
you do not want your child’s photos to be used for these purposes, please ask your child’s teacher for an opt out form. This form
must be completed and returned to your child’s teacher by September 30 (or within two weeks of enrollment) and is effective
until September 30 of the following year.
