 BOOK RENTAL INFORMATION
Please pay the correct amount as soon as possible. Any questions regarding textbook rental/fees should be directed to Mrs. Gates, our school treasurer. |
 DROP-OFF/PICK-UP OF STUDENTS
For students whose usual routine is a car rider: Students may be dropped and picked up by driving around the building. Staff members will be there from 7:50-8:00 am for drop-off and 3:20-3:30 pm for picking up students. If you arrive later than 8:00 am, you will need to bring your child into the office to be signed in. If you need to pick up your child during the day or instead of riding the bus, you may come in to our office and sign them out or send a note ahead of time stating that he or she should be a car rider for the day. |
 CHANGES IN ROUTINE
All changes in dismissal routine must be sent to our office in writing. Due to the safety of our students, we will not accept changes over the phone. If your child is going to go home with another student on the bus or in the pick-up line, he or she and the other student must both have a note of written permission from their parents. Also, if riding the bus, the driver must be contacted to make sure there is room for an additional student. |
 STUDENT DAY:
Students are not to be dropped off at school prior to 7:50 am due to no available supervision. Also, they must be picked up by 3:30 pm. Our school does not have before or after school care. Please listen to local radio and TV stations for school closing information. |
 VISITING OUR SCHOOL:
We welcome our parents and community to visit our school and take part in the education of your child. However, we do ask that you help us in carrying out our two main objectives: making sure our school is safe for all students and making sure all students are able to learn by not disrupting instructional time. All visitors are to report directly to our main office when visiting our school and should follow our JCS school expectations such as no smoking on school grounds, no profanity, no threats or intimidating behavior, no destruction to property, and no unlawful behavior. JCS Schoolhouse Expectations are posted inside our main entrance. In order to set up a meeting with the principal, teachers, or other staff, please call the office to set up an appointment, unless you have an emergency situation. This will ensure that we will be available when you arrive. We do not practice the release of teachers during instructional time because it is not in the best interest of all students. Thank you for your interest in Scipio Elementary. |
 CLASSROOM/STUDENT TREATS AND/OR GIFTS:
Our JCS Wellness policy encourages healthy snacks or non-food type treats. We cannot allow any homemade food items be brought in for students. If you want to bring in a special class treat, please contact your child's teacher to make prior arrangements. Please remember, we do not accept deliveries such as flowers or balloons for students. They cannot be taken on buses and are not taken to classrooms for safety and instructional reasons. |
