Wednesday is kindergarten first full day regular day 8:45 to 2:45 all the important things I have for you now see you later hello so now we like to go over some important information in your student handbook is it right now for things are a little bit different due to covid-19 more information in student handbook so when you have time we love you to read all of the information in there but I'm going to just highlight some important information today first of all on page to you see the school's number fax no and our website along with the phone numbers of all of our Administration those are very important numbers so you want to make sure you have those handy I would program the school's number in your phone so that you can always call if you have any questions or if you need any also just that's our contact information but I would encourage you to make sure you're you're going to fill out your emergency card information for your student and any time there's a change to that please contact us cuz we want to make sure that we're able to get in touch with you and so sometimes cell phone numbers changed just make sure you update that often so anytime it needs to be so that we're all able to get in touch with each other the next thing on page 3 you'll notice that we have an important date we do have them the start dates are we do have some holidays but I'm just going to practice at these dates are subject to change episode are the dates and holidays that were planning early dismissal days that are going to be planned for later in the school year there will not be any early dismissal days in during the first quarter but just keep in mind that they now I want to go over arrival and dismissal this is going to be very important so on page for you can read how it usually happen and the procedures going to be the same but the time had been adjusted during the first quarter of school based on our different time taken time so our school hours during the 41 at school will be 8:45 to 2:45 the car rider line will begin 820 in the back of the school we have a carpool and will show you later in a video about where to line up and how that procedure will work temperatures will be taken in the car rider line before the student exits the car if a student has a fever then you'll just take your student home with you and then the nurse will be informed and there will be a period of time that they'll be excluded from school fever free so if the state are riding on the school bus we will also take your temperature when they arrive to school if a student has a temperature when they arrive to school they will be sent to an isolation area so that we're not infecting anyone out and the school nurse will contact the parent that's why it's very important that we have the correct numbers for all of our students so the school nurse will contact the parent and then you'll have to come pick up your student if they have a fever dismissal is at 2:45 so it's you 95 will start dismissing our students to buses and to car riders we typically dismiss our car riders through the cafeteria but again that we'll be at the back of the school the procedures are correct just the time will be different make sure parents you will receive if you are a car rider you'll receive a car rider tag make sure that you had that displayed in your front on the dash or hanging from your rearview mirror so that we can call the students up and get them out to you efficiently if your child is a bus rider you will receive a bus tag that we will ask you to make sure you attached to your stuck students to make sure that they get on the right bus and again that one can fill it out with your phone number address the students name to make sure that the bus driver can get in touch with you if there are any issues on the bus before and after school care is also available at our school that information was emailed out to you registration packet and information if you

here to share some more info information from our student handbook with you today I'm going to start by discussing discipline this information can be found on page 12 of our hands book our faculty and staff or committed teaching the whole child here ipcp Behavior social and emotional learning is a part of our vision we have very clear expectations in that all of our students are expected to fall throughout the school year I mean know your babies are coming to us not knowing any of these rules and expectations all the adults in our school will not teach and repeat so that they clearly understand what is expected of them in all areas of the school in fact the piggyback on our discipline approach we use the responsive classroom approach and that's a way of teaching that creates of states Google Classroom as well as a positive school-wide climate for all students are teachers and staff follow the responsive classroom guideline understands that all students need included academic social emotional and physical and all of those qualities are very important to the whole child this correlates very close late with our schools High School mascot helps guide us to follow the full expectation our first full expectation is to take care of yourself tested do you know how one can take care of him take care of himself themselves by doing their work being ready to learn and paying attention to their teacher that sounds like lots of the choices both houses expectation is by taking care of others if she has some ideas and how we can take care of others absolutely our children that to take care of others we're kind we keep our hands and we listen While others are speaking and finally so remind us to take care of your school the test that can you talk about that yeah that's very important taking care of your school me to pick up you treat all your learning materials and supplies with care and you're lying in the hallway While others are learning again parent all the students I'm sorry all the adults in this phone will teach these expectations to our student your child's teacher will reinforce these expectations and customize them to her own classroom daily and also parents choices that students are using we have called Class Dojo so Class Dojo is used by the teacher took for the student to earn for meeting me expectations taking care of himself taking care of others and taking care of their school when a teacher notices those things a student can earn in the wonderful thing about class dojo is that parents can also use it to communicate with the teacher it is basically you text back and forth with the teacher messages and if it's not something that's open to the public is close private Bruce the teacher my post something that the whole class can see or an individual method so we have that as a great communication tool and a reward your child teacher will tell you more sign up for class dojo so parents there's an app on your phone or you can go to the website on a computer if you want to go ahead and download that and get ready for your teachers instructions for that communication which highlight good behavior choices here Dolce primary and we do this with our character counts award off the whole full will learn and practice one of the pillars of character using the character counts framework this includes trustworthiness respect responsibility fairness caring and citizenship students will be recognized with discount coupons for representing a specific character trait then one student will be selected from each class twice a month for being a good model of this hair is here at the primary is acknowledging our bus riders of the month drivers select the student who was following the bus rules to receive this honor so those are all the Paw things we expect for student after we keep all of our expectations over and bring them over and over again but unfortunately we do have to issue consequences for misbehavior SATs after an expectation is taught over and over again a teacher and any staff member has its the discretion to write what's called an office discipline referral which is known as a write off and the write-up is found on the last page of our handbook and someone a teacher or staff member issues a write-up it comes to the office and item is a petit or my so we'll discuss the behavior with this dude and call you the parent and talk about an issue a consequence for the actions unfortunately and extreme and imposes students can be suspended it depends on the infraction and explain more in the student handbook and also we have a specific bus rider rules that can be found on page 16 of the student handbook and also we have the school bus conduct written by our transportation department please read it thoroughly and talk to your child about what's expected of them on the bus we will also be doing that here at school is important things for the kids to remember on the bus it's just a facing forward for the whole time with your bottom on your Steve we don't want to see anyone kneeling or turning around because you know for safety reasons they can be hurt and we want to see the hay to them Styles not judging others. But all the details of the fox Rider rules can be found in the student handbook inside news are going to get another email message about how to safely ride on the bus parent Belle Chasse primary schools usually by their self on the opportunities we we get family to be involved in our school however this year due to the pandemic many of those activities are now cancelled or pending what way that we can stay connected even through this pandemic is through readyrosie readyrosie is an online Early Education tool that helps families schools and communities and family engagement there is an enrollment form please and return in your child folder that you will receive at the Pelican pass through it will send regular videos but will also send videos that apply to current learning in the classroom all right I think that's all we for now this includes our kindergarten orientation video and when you open it on one side it'll have off in return on your child's first day of school the other side will have paperwork that's for your information to keep at home to look forward to seeing you at the Pelican pass through welcome to the Belle Chasse primary man
