CHILD NUTRITION GUIDELINES
To encourage and enable schools to provide students with nutritious food and beverage choices that will enhance learning and promote healthy behaviors that can be maintained throughout life, nutrition standards for foods, sold, served and/or distributed to students during the school day have been established by the West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE). These standards are available in WVDE Policy 4321.1 on the website.
MEDICAL INFORMATION
Emergency Medical Forms have necessary information and numbers listed in case of an emergency. Complete the form accurately and return it. If changes occur during the year, contact the office. Students will not be allowed to attend field trips unless this form is on file in the office.
E.A. Hawse Health Center provides a school-based clinic. A consent form must be signed and returned to the Center before medical services can be given. You will be billed for this service.
MEDICAL NOTES
A health care providers statement is needed for the following:
· if your child is absent. Please see attendance policy for more information.
· if your child is to receive a special diet for breakfast, lunch, snacks, or parties.
· if your child is not to participate in a physical education class.
· if your child is to take prescription medication at school.
· if your child should not go outside for activities for an extended period of time.
MEDICATION PROCEDURES
ALL MEDICATION SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO THE SCHOOL NURSE. All medication will be kept in a secure, locked storage area, and administered according to state law and county policy. Non-prescription medication may NOT be kept by the child.
Prescription
Medication
Complete the ADMINISTRATION OF MEDICATION AT SCHOOL form. A physician must sign this form. Bring medicine to school in the prescription container that has a clear, accurate label.
Non-prescription Medication or Over-the-Counter (OTC)
Complete the ADMINISTRATION OF MEDICATION AT SCHOOL form and include a written note from the parent. Bring the medication to school in the original manufacturers container with a clear, complete label. Our school nurse may administer this medication only if a physician has signed the form.
Asthma
The child may keep medication for asthma. Complete the SELF-ADMINISTRATION OF ASTHMA MEDICATION form. Return the form to the office.
COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
Head lice, pink eye, and chicken pox are
communicable diseases. Therefore, any
child diagnosed with these or other communicable diseases is not allowed to
attend school. For your protection, we have
a nit-free policy concerning lice.
Children are sent home when nits are found. After treating the childs head, transport the child to school
and remain with them. The child must be
checked and cleared by school personnel BEFORE he/she is allowed to return to
class or to ride the bus. If you have
any questions, contact the office or the School Nurse, Judith Hedrick. E.A. Hawse personnel are also available, if
necessary.
CRISIS
INTERVENTION PLAN
County-wide and school crisis intervention plans have been developed. The plans generally cover crises that will necessitate evacuation of the building (i.e., fire or bomb threats), locking down the building, lost children, medical emergencies, or death of a student or staff member.
IN ORDER TO INSURE THAT EMERGENCY PERSONNEL CAN WORK EFFICIENTLY AND DECREASE THE CHANCES THAT OTHERS MAY BE ENDANGERED, PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO CALL THE SCHOOL OR COME TO THE BUILDING TO GET YOUR CHILD(REN). IF THE BUILDING HAS TO BE EVACUATED OR LOCKED DOWN, NO ONE WILL BE ADMITTED ONTO THE GROUNDS OR INTO THE BUILDING UNTIL THERE IS REASONABLE ASSURANCE THAT IT IS SAFE OR PRUDENT.
This will enable the Crisis Response Team to make the necessary calls and maintain vital communication with emergency personnel, needed agencies, and the board office. It will also decrease the level of risk to the students and staff in the building and others who may be entering a dangerous zone.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
In the event of an emergency, do not try to call the school or come to the school to pick up children until there has been an announcement that it is safe to do so. This request is necessary to reduce the level of confusion that occurs naturally during emergency situations and to increase the ability of the emergency personnel to perform their tasks. Most importantly, we want to reduce the risk to our students, staff, and other personnel who may be giving us assistance.
EMERGENCY
SCHOOL CLOSINGS AND DELAYS
Closings are announced on the radio, television, Internet, and School Messenger©. Media stations that carry this information will be listed in the school newsletter and the newspaper.
Please complete the form and return it to your childs teacher with arrangements for his/her transportation for emergencies such as early school closings. This will decrease the level of confusion and errors. If a form is not completed, signed, and on record in the office, your child will go home in their normal manner.
PARENT
CONCERNS
We
want our students to be safe, comfortable, and successful. If you are concerned about any situation in
school or on the bus, first contact the teacher involved or your childs bus
driver. If you are still concerned,
contact the Head Teacher. If unresolved, then contact the Principal.

and get a Visitor pass to be worn while in the building. If you do not have a pass, staff members
will be expected to request that you immediately report to the office to sign

valuable and/or breakable items at home.
Personal electronic devices are not allowed at school. Your childs bus
driver may allow students to have electronic devices on the bus. However, these items must be kept in the
locker during the school day. The
school will not be responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged items.
LOST AND
FOUND ITEMS
Items that are left in the gym, cafeteria,
or on the playground are housed in a box at the end of the hallway and in the

check there to see if anything in the box belongs to them. At the end of every month, we will give
items that students have not claimed to Goodwill.

If students have missed in excess of five consecutive days, an appropriate number of days will be determined for completion and submitted to the principal for approval.
Assignments made prior to the students absence are due when the student returns. For example, Friday assignments made and are due on Monday. On Monday, the student is absent. On Tuesday, the student returns. Fridays assignments are due.
Do not call the office to have the teacher(s) send the work home. It will be your childs responsibility to get their make-up work when they return to school.

GUIDELINES FOR
SUSPENSION AND EXPULSION (§126-99-8)
Suspension is considered a temporary solution to a violation of the Student Code of Conduct until the problem that caused the suspension is corrected. The length of a suspension should be short, usually one to three school days, but may extend to ten school days. A student is entitled to an informal hearing when faced with a suspension of ten days or less. At this hearing, the principal must explain why the student is being suspended, and the student must be given the opportunity to present reasons why he/she should not be suspended. However, a student whose conduct is detrimental to the progress and general conduct of the school may be suspended immediately and a hearing held as soon as practical after the suspension. A student may not participate in any school-sponsored activities, or be permitted on school grounds during the period of suspension without permission of school officials.
INVESTIGATION
PROCEDURES (§126-99-10)
When any student is to be interviewed in connection with an investigation pursuant to a Level III or IV violation, a reasonable effort shall be made to contact the students parent, custodian, or guardian and invite them to be present during such interview.
Please understand that this
makes it very important that the information we have on file for your children
is accurate and kept up to date. If you
or anyone listed on your childs information sheet cannot be reached, we will
conduct the investigation and inform you of the results as soon as possible. You may give permission to
conduct an interview without
your presence. If the students conduct
is of such a nature as to be dangerous to him or herself or others, they may be
suspended until a guardian can accompany them to school for further discussion
of the matter.
