PARKING LOT SAFETY: The parking lot located directly in front of the school is for staff only. All students should be dropped off at the drop off point in the parking lot. Please follow these procedures carefully and watch for students at all times.
TARDIES AND ABSENCES: Students who arrive on campus after 9:00am for the morning classes or after
1:00 pm for the afternoon classesmust check in at the office and receive a tardy slip. Please phone 635-2674 x1901/1902 to report an absence.
APPOINTMENTS: Parents are encouraged to make every attempt to schedule medical appointments after students are dismissed from Summer School. For your child’s protection, no student will be allowed to leave campus without being checked out by his/her parent or guardian in the school office. When checking your child out of school before the regular dismissal time, go to the office and your child will be called out of class. Please do not go directly to the classroom.
Break and Lunch
Students must bring their own snacks and lunch.
Due to food allergies, students are not allowed to share.
Health and Safety
BELONGINGS: Please do not allow your students to bring valuable items to school.
HEALTH INFORMATION: Students who become ill in class will be sent to the office and parents will be called to pick them up.
An emergency form must be on file for every student so that we may contact parents or guardians in case of an accident or illness and that we may be advised of special medical problems.
PARENT VISITS: Parents are welcome at Summer School anytime. If you do wish to observe a learning activity, please call and set up an appointment with the teacher.
Parents must always check in at the office when visiting. The office must be aware of all adults on the campus to insure the safety of the children.
CIVIL DEFENSE EMERGENCY PROCEDURES:
Students and staff drill on fire and earthquake procedures. These procedures include:
- Method of exiting buildings in case of emergency
- What to do in case of earthquake or fire
- Assigned duties for all staff members
- Location of emergency equipment
Sinnott Elementary Summer School procedures are clearly outlined in the District’s Earthquake/Disaster Emergency Handbook. All school staff members receive an orientation on these procedures. Parents are welcome to review this handbook.
In case of a major earthquake students will be held under faculty supervision until the severity of the earthquake and post earthquake damage is determined and safety can be responsibly assured. The SinnottElementary Summer School Emergency Form that parents were asked to complete at the beginning of Summer School indicate the names of caregiver and contact person (not parent) to whom students may be released.
It is important to realize that under some emergency conditions, it may not be possible to contact everyone by telephone. For emergency information, you may tune to one of the following stations:
KSJO - 92FMKSJX - 1500 KhzKBAY - 100.3 FM
KNTV - Channel 11KEEN - 1330 KHZ
LOST AND FOUND: Each summer, large amounts of clothing and other articles are accumulated in the Lost and Found. Items left unclaimed after Summer School will be donated to a charity. To help prevent loss of clothing, it is suggested that all articles be marked with some type of identification.
