April's NEW Family Engagement Learning Video- Supporting Read Aloud at Home

Have you visited our Family Engagement Video Learning Library on our website? It's a place where families, staff and community can access pre-recorded learning videos on a variety of topics! These videos are perfect for families who may not be able to attend our regular workshops, but would like to access the learning at a later time, or for colleagues and parent-teacher organizations who want to learn more or share the learning with families at their own site meeting or event.

This month’s learning video: Supporting Read Aloud at Home

Children develop a life-long love of reading when they have access to a variety of reading materials and consistently experience creative ways to read. Reading is a family affair! Check out this month’s featured workshop, presented by Scholastic Education’s family engagement specialist, to learn practical strategies that families can use to strengthen their student’s reading and writing skills, while encouraging a love of reading. As you watch the video, you'll be able to:

★ Develop a deeper understanding of reading development stages
★ Learn ways to build habits that strengthen your child’s reading and writing skills
★ Identify read-aloud ideas to practice at home with your child
★ Explore practical strategies and activities to help develop your child’s love of reading

You can view and share the video with your families by visiting our playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHYpvQ2D1fOA5K15Gu7kaTDJjnK6dV5Na

IN CASE OF AN ABSENCE (Less than 5 days)

Please notify the school office if your child is going to be absent as soon as possible.

State the student's name, teacher, date, and reason for the absence. We truly appreciate your call or email by the morning of the absence.

INDEPENDENT STUDY-HOME INSTRUCTION (Short Term)

In the event that your child will not attend school for an extended period of time, please contact the school attendance clerk ten (10) school days before your child's absences to schedule his/her independent study/home instruction program. An independent study may only be approved for a period of more than 5 days and up to 15 days. (Students that miss school for any length of time for reasons other than illness will be marked as “unexcused” absences without the independent study contract.)

Absent more than 16 days

If a student is going to be out more than 16 days without a medical note, the student will be dropped from our enrollment. Once you return, you will need to re-enroll with San Juan Central before you can return to School.

This year we have new late drop off and pick up procedures. Please see below and let us know if you have any questions.

If your student arrives after 7:45am, they will need to come to the office for a tardy clock, the gates will be locked. Students will then enter the school through the door in the nurses room.

If students are on campus but are not in their classrooms at 7:45, they will be marked absent and will need to come to the office to get their attendance changed to a tardy.

Students are to be picked up within 15 minutes of the bell ringing. After 15 minutes, students will be brought into the office to call for their ride. Whoever is picking the student up will need to come to the office to sign the student out.

M,T,W,F - Pick up by 2:30pm

Th - Pick up by 1:15pm

In our ongoing mission to make dismissal smoother, safer, and just a little less like a scene from a traffic jam movie, we’re implementing a small change with a big impact:

Effective immediately, left turns out of the school parking lot will not be permitted during dismissal time.

(Yes, your GPS might be upset, but your fellow drivers will thank you!)

You’re still welcome to make a left turn during other parts of the school day—just not during that high-traffic window when we're all racing the clock.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to keep the flow moving and the horns honking to a minimum. Think of it as turning right… in the right direction!

Thank you for helping us keep dismissal safe and (mostly) sane.

Friendly reminder: Please don’t double-park and abandon your vehicle during pick-up. When you do, traffic gets stuck, kids can’t get through safely, and the rest of us wonder if your car has been left behind as modern art. If you need to walk up, please use a designated parking spot—your fellow parents (and our traffic flow) will thank you!

It is important to make sure your contacts and list of people okay to pick up your student early or in case of an emergency is up to date. You can update this in Parent Portal or by contacting the Coyle Office.

The office does check ID's when the person picking up a student in not known to the office. If they are not listed as one of your contacts or emergency contacts we will need permission from the Parent/Guardian before we allow the student to leave campus with that person.

If you have any concerns or any court paperwork, make sure you give it to the the office to keep on file.

If you have moved, we need you to update your address.

To update your address click on the link below and provide the information requested.

A designated school employee may administer medication during the school hours only upon written request of both the physician and parent(s) or guardian, detailing the method, amount, and time the medication is to be taken.

Medication will be administered only to students whose parent and physician deem it necessary for potentially life-threatening medical conditions or for those who need medication administered during the school day in order to interact appropriately at school.

Authorization forms for medication are available to download below, or at each school office. A new form must be completed before the start of each school year. Medications must be brought to the school office in their original container.
