School Policies

RESTROOM USE

Proper use of restroom facilities is expected from all children at all times. Children should learn to use the restrooms during scheduled recess time which includes before school, morning recess, lunch recess, afternoon recess (grades 1-3), and P.E. Parents may contact the teacher if special arrangements need to be made during a time of illness or disability.

INSURANCE

Application forms are available in the school office for a low-cost accident insurance protection policy for your child. THE SCHOOL DISTRICT DOES NOT PROVIDE INSURANCE FOR CHILDREN. You may wish to check policies you already have to see if your child is covered.

HOME TEACHER

If your child, due to illness or injury, will be out of school for a prolonged period of time, please notify the school office. S/he may be eligible to receive instruction from a home teacher so that s/he does not fall behind in learning. A doctor’s prescription is required for Home Teaching.

CLASS PARTIES

Two parties per year are authorized by Alvord Unified School District Board Policy. While birthday parties for students are enjoyable, it is very difficult to celebrate the birthdays of all students. We encourage parents to have parties for their children somewhere other than school. One nice way to honor a child’s birthday at school is to donate a special book to the child’s classroom. It can be read to the entire class and then entered into the classroom reading materials.
