Thank you, SE families, for your flexibility, patience, and support as we worked through the beginning of the school year! We appreciate your partnership as we settled into new routines and worked out the details that come with a new school year. Now that we are in the swing of things, we are excited for a wonderful year filled with learning, growth, and great memories for our students!
Attached are two important documents that will be beneficial for you to look over to have a good understanding of SE Kelloggsville policies and discipline structure:
October 2 - Kelloggsville Community Celebration
*Join us after school at the Kelloggsville Middle School for outdoor games, fun, and food!
*Following the fun will be a home Kelloggsville Football game!
October 8 & 14 - Parent/Teacher Conferences
Birthday Treats
Students feel very special when it is their birthday! This year, SE is doing weekly announcement videos that highlight student birthdays so staff and classmates can celebrate with an extra "Happy Birthday!" Parents are welcome to drop off a birthday treat in the office for your child to share with their classmates. Cupcakes or prepackaged snacks are the best option as teachers do not have time to cut/serve larger items, such as cakes. Please follow the guidelines from the Parent Handbook:
BIRTHDAY TREATS AND INVITATIONS
If a parent would like to bring a treat for their child’s classroom, please make sure that you
contact the teacher first to arrange a time for the treat to be handed out to the students. It is
the policy of the school that no food prepared at home may be consumed by the students at
school parties, picnics, etc. during school hours. Wrapped candies, baked goods and vegetable
or fruit trays purchased from a commercial establishment are permitted. Students are
discouraged from passing out private birthday party invitations at school unless they are
inviting the entire class. Please limit the birthday treat to one individual item per student, to be passed out to the class and do not bring balloons and party items into the school as they will disrupt the learning environment. Treats can be dropped off to the office and school staff will deliver to classroom.
Medications
MEDICATIONS
Elementary school students may not self-administer medications at school. If a child is to
receive any medication during the school day, the parent or guardian should bring the
medication and the doctor’s signed instructions to the school office. Never send medication
with your child to school.
Before School Procedures:
*Parents dropping off students will enter from 52nd Street and turn right into the parent-drop off/pick up parking lot. Parents can stay in their car along the sidewalk loop and have their child exit onto the sidewalk. If parents would like to walk their child to door, they will park in a parking spot in front of the main entrance and walk their child up to the sidewalk area. We do not want any kids walking unattended through the parking lot. Door B will open at 8:00am and close at 8:25am. Anyone arriving after 8:25am will have to be signed-in by a parent in the front office, Door A.
*All drop-off students will enter the school doors by the gym - Door B, and then walk directly across to the playground to play until the school bell rings. Parents will be asked to say their goodbyes from the sidewalk area to ensure our kids have a great start to the school day!
After-School Procedures:
*Parents picking up students will enter from 52nd Street and turn right into the new parent pick-up/drop-off parking lot. Parents can choose to stay in their car along the sidewalk loop and have their child brought to the car, or they can park in a parking spot and walk up to the sidewalk area to get their child. We do not want any kids walking unattended through the parking lot.
*Parents must be on time at 3:15pm to keep the process running smoothly.
Important Notes:
*Parents may NOT park in the bus loop AT ANY TIME! That is the designated area in front of the school. If a parent needs to enter the main office at any time of the day, parents need to park in a designated parking spot (NOT THE BUS LANE).
End of day bus changes:
*To make sure the end of the day runs smoothly you must call the office 616-532-1590 by 2:30 to make any student release changes for the end of the school day. Our office and staff are extra busy at that time of day.
