Dear Olympic View Families,

Welcome to the 2013-2014 school year! The staff and I are excited to start a new academic year in a safe, healthy, and happy environment where all our children can receive the best education. Based on the needs of each individual child, the knowledgeable and dedicated Olympic View staff strives to provide the best standards-based, dynamic instruction. At Olympic View, we capitalize on your child’s inquisitiveness and desire to learn. We guide and provide your child with the knowledge and skills necessary to be a successful, productive member of society.

This Parent and Student Handbook provides important information about the school’s Vision and Goals. Teacher voice mail extensions and email addresses are provided to facilitate communication between home and school. It also addresses behavior and safety rules, daily schedule, traffic safety, proper attire, and more. Please review the information contained in this Handbook with your child(ren). The staff and I will also review the information with the students during our first week back to school and throughout the school year.

Working together, you as your child’s teacher, the staff, students, and I will have a rewarding year filled with learning, lifelong relationships, and the joys of success and accomplishment. I am looking forward to working with you and your children. My door is always open and I am always available to you.

Sincerely,

If you need after-school care for your child please consider the YMCA, DASH or other available programs. Unless they participate in YMCA or DASH, or are enrolled in a structured, after-school activity such as Jr. Jazzercise, students are to be picked up within 15 minutes of dismissal or walk home immediately.

OFFICE HOURS: The school office is open from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. The school telephone number is 656-2030 and the fax number is 656-8752.

The gates will be locked according to the following schedule:

EMERGENCY CARDS (GREEN): The school office must have on file emergency information for each of our students. Your cooperation in returning the completed card will be most helpful. It is critical that this information is kept current throughout the year. Your child’s teacher will be sending home this very important card in the school folder on the first day of school. Please fill it out in its entirety and return to your child’s teacher the following day. DISASTER INFORMATION CARDS (WHITE): It is equally important that the information on the white card is kept current. Every teacher must keep a card on each student in case of an emergency situation at school. Please note that the reverse side of the card provides an Authorization for Treatment of Minors. Parents signing the authorization give permission to treat a student at a hospital/medical facility during an emergency. Your child’s teacher will be sending home this very important card in the school folder on the first day of school. Please fill it out in its entirety and return to your child’s teacher the following day. CLASS ASSIGNMENTS: Each year we are usually faced with the task of moving a few children from one classroom to another in order to correct an imbalance in class size. Typically these changes occur within the first two weeks of school, but changes may occur at any time during the school year. We will always keep these changes to a bare minimum, however, it is hard to predict exact growth patterns and which grade levels will be affected. In the event changes do become necessary, we hope that we may count on your cooperation and understanding. At the beginning of the school year, we would like to ask families to please wait until the third week of school to discuss any possible class assignment change. If a family wishes to talk about a possible change, they need to pick up a form from the office describing the rationale for the change. An appointment with the principal will be arranged to discuss the request and to consider all factors associated with a possible change in placement. TELEPHONE CALLS/CELL PHONES: It is very disruptive to call a child to the telephone during the instructional day, so please do not ask the office staff to do so. If you must leave a message for your child, you may either leave a voice mail or a message with the office secretaries, but please do not abuse the privilege. Prior to coming to school each day, make sure your child knows where to go after school. Phone use by students is restricted to emergencies only. Students will not be allowed to use the school telephone to alter after school plans. A student may have a cell phone on campus only if the parent/guardian has filled out and submitted a Cell Phone Waiver to the school office. A student may bring a cell phone only after the parent has received his/her copy of the permission form signed by a school administrator. Cell phone permission approval is valid for one school year only and must be renewed each school year. On campus violation of any of the terms of the cell phone permission will result in the revocation of cell phone privileges. The parent must come to the office to pick up the phone from an administrator.

BREAKFAST AND LUNCH: Meal prices are $1.00 for breakfast and $1.50 for lunch (including a beverage). Milk can be purchased separately for 25 cents. Breakfasts and lunches may be purchased by the day, week or month. Please make checks payable to: CAFETERIA ACCOUNT, C.V.E.S.D. Lunch money can be brought to the office every day and deposited in the locked box on the wall next to the door. Fill out an envelope, (in front of the box), put the check in the envelope, and put the envelope into the box. Cash must be taken directly to Mrs. Carmen Elias, Cafeteria Manager, in the cafeteria.

Second Chance Breakfast is another chance for students who skipped breakfast before school to eat breakfast at recess. Breakfast will be served before school, and the Second Chance Breakfast will be served during morning recess, from 9:45-10:45 a.m. Students may only eat one breakfast per day and will be able to use their meal cards at Second Chance Breakfast or they may purchase breakfast for $1.

All students who are coming to Olympic View from another Chula Vista school will remain on the 2012-13 lunch qualification (free or reduced) for thirty days or until a new application is submitted for the 2013-2014 school year.

Please send healthy snacks and lunch to school with your children. Do not send sodas, candy, chips, or gum. All children must eat lunch every day.

CVESD Board Policy 5030: WELLNESS “No celebratory food items will be allowed on school sites during the school day in celebration of a student’s birthday. The District encourages and supports the use of nonfood celebratory activities and will provide a list of suggestions to schools and parents.”

UNIFORMS AND DRESS GUIDELINES: Uniforms are required at Olympic View. Your support of and commitment to the uniform policy is vital to its success! We believe it sets high standards for the students by:

reducing peer pressure

increasing safety and security

eliminating the wearing of inappropriate clothing items

improving personal responsibility and accountability

preparing for the workplace

reinforcing positive behavior

Uniforms support our school spirit and a sense of esprit de corp. Our goal is to keep our focus on academic and social growth, not on the latest fashion trends. We see school uniforms as one positive and creative way to reduce discipline problems and increase school safety. Students who feel safe and secure learn basic values, the essentials of good citizenship, and are better students. The school uniform consists of the following: solid Navy blue pants, shorts, skirts or jumpers, and solid red, white, or navy blue polo shirts (no stripes on bottoms or tops). Shirts are to have a collar and are to be tucked in at all times. V-notch polo shirts may be worn untucked and must be appropriately fitted. Length of shirt may not extend beyond the wrist. If you require financial assistance, please contact the office. Information is confidential. If a student comes to school inappropriately dressed or out of uniform, they will be counseled the first time. The second time, we will notify the parent and provide acceptable clothing. After that, the parent will be contacted to bring a change of clothes.

5

School Spirit shirts can be worn on any day of the school week.

T-Shirts are not part of the uniform policy. Oversized clothing is not suitable or acceptable. Baggy pants are not allowed. Clothes shall be sufficient to conceal undergarments at all times. See-through or fishnet fabrics, halter tops, spaghetti straps, off the shoulder or low-cut tops, midriffs, and skirts/shorts shorter than mid-thigh are not appropriate. Dangling and hoop earrings, chains, and keys worn visibly around the neck are unsafe and are not acceptable. Hats, caps and other head coverings shall not be worn indoors (except for health reasons). When worn outdoors, caps/hats must be worn appropriately with the bill forward, not to the side or back. High heeled shoes and shoes with wheels are not allowed. Make-up, tattoos, nail polish, and acrylic or press-on nails are inappropriate for elementary school students. We discourage clothing representing professional sports teams, such as Starter jackets, which seem to attract gang attention.

Uniform waivers are available but highly discouraged. A parent must come in to the office to fill out the waiver and a reason must be specified. Uniform waivers must be renewed every school year. The waiver becomes effective only after the parent has received his/her copy of the waiver signed by a school administrator, and it is only then that the student may attend school without a uniform. If discipline becomes a problem for a student on a uniform waiver, the waiver will be rescinded.

We feel these guidelines will keep our Olympic View students safe and looking like elementary students while helping them focus on learning. Thank you for your help with this important issue. Please help us instill positive, safe choices pertaining to student’s clothing and appearance by supporting our School Uniform Policy. All students should be “Dressed for Success”!

SCHOOL LANDSCAPING: Please help maintain the beautiful landscaping at Olympic View Elementary by walking on the sidewalks and sitting (not standing) on the flower boxes. Share our pride about our environment!

TARDINESS/ATTENDANCE POLICY

Under California Law (Ed. Code 48200) parents and guardians are charged with the responsibility of keeping their children in regular attendance and on time at school.

Olympic View Elementary School will only excuse an absence for the following reasons:

Illness

Medical or dental appointment

Quarantine by a county or city health officer

Funeral of immediate family member (Grandparent, parent, or sibling)

Military parent leaving for or returning from deployment

ATTENDANCE: School attendance is critical for learning.

If your child is absent:

Call the Attendance line on the day of the absence, or send a note the first day back to school. To reach the Attendance line, dial 656-2030 and select #2 on the menu. Leave a message regarding your child’s absence for our school Attendance/Health Secretary. If your child is absent three days or more, a doctor’s note is required. Parents have three days, (72 hours), to notify the school of the reason for a child’s absence. Reporting the absence does not automatically excuse the absence.

6

The reason given for the absence determines whether the absence is excused or unexcused. Failure to provide a reason makes the absence unexcused.

If your child will be absent for religious reasons, to participate in “Take Your Child to Work Day”, to attend a military function for a parent, etc.:

A written request stating the reason for the absence must be presented to the school Attendance office for Principal approval two days prior to the absence. If approved, the absence becomes a “Board Justified” absence. If the absence is not approved, it is an unexcused absence.

To sign a child out before dismissal:

Please do not pick up your child early unless she/he has a medical or dental appointment. School District policy requires that any child signed out thirty minutes or more before dismissal time is considered an unexcused absence unless the reason is for a doctor or dental appointment. A doctor’s note verifying the appointment is required when the child returns to school. This does not apply when a child is signed out to go home due to illness nor is a note required from a doctor when they return to school.

Independent Study Contract:

An Independent Study Contract can be obtained for a child who will be absent five or more days.

The parent must notify the teacher of the absence and discuss the Independent Study Contract at least one week prior to the start of the absence.

The parent must also notify the Attendance office of the absence and request the Independent Study Contract at least one week prior to the start of the absence.

An Independent Study Contract must be signed prior to the start of the absence.

Children should not be absent except for medical reasons. Please schedule vacations during school breaks. Students learn when they are in school.

To be eligible for Perfect Attendance, the student must be in class on time and must stay in class the entire day every day that school is in session. (i.e., the student cannot be late to school for any reason, or be taken out of school early for any reason, or be absent from school for any reason.)

TRUANCY:

State law requires that elementary school attendance is compulsory. Parents/guardians are responsible for making sure that their children attend school every day, on time. Students with more than three unexcused absences in one school year shall be classified as truant. Students who are more than 30 minutes tardy, or who are signed out more than 30 minutes early on three or more school days in one school year shall be classified as truant (Education Code 48260). Such students shall be reported to the principal. The parent/guardian shall be notified of the student’s truancy by a letter from the principal. If necessary, a parent/guardian conference can be arranged to address the truancy. Students reported as truant three or more times during the year may be classified as habitually truant and referred to the Student Attendance Review Board (SARB). (Education Code 48263)

7

MEDICATION: If your child must take any medication at school, we must have a form signed by your physician each year, and the medication must be kept in the health room. Discontinuation of medication and changes in dosage or time require written instruction from the physician. This applies to prescription and non-prescription medicine. Every time your child is on a medication for a specific illness such as strep throat, bronchitis, pink eye, etc., a new form must accompany the prescription. Contact the Health Office at 656-2030 for the proper medication form.

SAFETY: We would like to ask the adults, in addition to the children, to abide by Safety Patrol Rules. If your child sees you waiting for the Safety Patrol, your child will follow suit. Please help us in preventing jaywalking. Encourage your student to follow safety guidelines. Please do not park in any of the red areas. This is a no parking area, and you will be ticketed. Also, do not leave your car unattended in the yellow zone. You are highly encouraged to use the loading area, (bus circle), to pick up your child. Please do not park in any parking spaces that are designated for staff. Thank you for being polite to other drivers, our staff and volunteers, and the student Safety Patrol, as our children learns from the behaviors that we model.

IF YOU MOVE: If you move at anytime during the school year, you must complete the following steps within two weeks of the move:

Verify residency with your new address

Update the Green emergency card in the Health Office with your new address and any other information that has changed

If you have moved out of the Olympic View boundaries, it will be necessary to fill out a Zone Transfer so that your student(s) can finish the remainder of the school year at Olympic View

VISITORS/VOLUNTEERS: All visitors and volunteers must check in at the school office and log in on the dedicated Sign-In computer. A visitor or volunteer badge will be printed and must be visibly worn at all times while you are on campus. We need to know that you are present and whom you wish to visit or volunteer for.

CHILD CARE PROGRAMS: YMCA: Before and after school child care from 6:00 a.m. – 6:30 p.m. YMCA child care is located on our campus. Their telephone number is 421-8805.

RULES AND DISCIPLINE POLICY

In order to maintain a disciplined and safe learning environment at school we have adopted a school wide discipline policy centered around five basic rules which parents and children need to discuss and obey:

1. Try your hardest and do your best. 2. Help others and yourself to learn. 3. Make safe choices. 4. Treat others with kindness and respect. 5. Take care of property.

Student safety is one of our priorities, therefore, we monitor our campus security and safety procedures on a continuous basis. Kindergarten students will follow the procedures discussed by the teachers at Kindergarten orientation. The following procedure is to be followed by all students in grades 1-6:

Students who do not eat breakfast are required to report to their classroom number on the blacktop immediately upon arrival at school no earlier than 7:45 a.m.

Students are to remain on the blacktop, lined up in an orderly manner by their classroom numbers until their teacher arrives to escort them to class.

On rainy days, students in portable classrooms will report to the auditorium. All other students will line up outside their classroom door under the overhang.

Special Note for Parents: We are kindly asking you to keep school entry pathways clear so that foot traffic may travel free of obstructions.
