Springbank P.S.
SCHOOL DAY AT SPRINGBANK BELL SCHEDULE
10:30 - 11:20 Nutrition Break
1:00 - 1:40 Nutrition Break
3:20 Dismissal Students should not arrive at school prior to 8:35 a.m. and should go straight home at 3:20 p.m. NUTRITION BREAKS
Students may choose to go home for both nutrition breaks. The option of remaining at school is intended for students who reside so far from school that it is not possible for them to walk home and return to classes during the allotted time for each nutrition break . Parents are asked to complete the "NUTRITION BREAK INFORMATION/PERMISSION FORM" to confirm specific lunch arrangements. This information is necessary to help ensure student safety.
REGISTRATION & ATTENDANCE
Student Registration Form - In order that we may update our computer files, please make any changes to the computer printout "Registration Form" and have it returned to your child’s homeroom teacher. During the school year if there is any change of information (address, phone number, legal custody) we would appreciate notification for our records.
ATTENDANCE PROCEDURES - Attendance on a regular basis is vital for successful progress in school. In the interest of safety, we ask that students and parents comply with the following procedures:
Call the school (519-539-7140). The secretary will answer the phone. If not, follow the options provided and leave a message. Identify yourself and your relationship with the student. Tell us that your child will be late or absent and the reason why. When a pupil returns to school, a dated note from the parent/guardian, explaining the absence, must be presented to the homeroom teacher. This must be done for our records even though contact may have been made by telephone. A note must likewise be presented to the teacher if a student is to leave school early (dental app’t, etc.). The note should indicate the reason for and the time of the early dismissal. Students need to be signed out at the office. When a student will be absent for an extended period of time due to family vacation, etc. a note requesting the leave, and explaining the reason for the absence and expected return date should be forwarded to the principal.
Lates: Pupils arriving late MUST report to the office for an admit slip.
Telephone Checks:
As an added safety precaution, Springbank uses a Phone Check system for students who are absent. Its purpose is to alert parents to the fact that their son/daughter has not arrived at school by shortly after bell time. We try to notify parents by 9:30 a.m. and following each nutrition break by 12:30p.m. and 2:45 p.m. respectively, unless prior notice has been given about the student’s absence.
