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 .
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 .
