intro paragraph
AGENDA BOOKS
The main tool for communication between home and school is the daily agenda book. It is a magnet expectation that parents initial the agenda book every day. Each child is given an agenda book at no cost. The replacement fee for a lost agenda book is $5.00.
ANIMALS
A child must have an administrator’s written permission to bring a live animal to school. Live animals are not permitted on school buses or on campus during arrival & dismissal of students.
APPOINTMENTS/EMERGENCIES
To be excused from any part of the school day, the student must bring a note from home with the date, time, reason, and parent/guardian signature. If an emergency occurs and you must pick up your child before school is dismissed, the child must be signed out in the office. Tardies and absences may be considered excused only for reasons listed in the Pinellas County Schools Code of Student Conduct. Please make every effort to schedule appointments outside of the school day. Due to the collaborative nature of the PYP, it is difficult to replicate the learning that is missed.
Students will be released only to parents/guardians or persons listed on the white student information card, who must show a picture ID. The driver’s license will be scanned through the school security system (Ident-a-Kid). Students will not be released to older brothers and sisters unless they are of adult age and listed on the white student information card. Please update the card as needed.
Due to bus traffic, cars are not permitted in the front parking lot area and students may not be picked up from the office between 3:00 and 4:00 p.m.
