The principal will review the situation with the student and take action according to standard disciplinary procedure. Action that may be taken includes: • Verbal warning • Conference with parent • Detentions • Suspension of riding privileges • Other disciplinary actions Each principal is responsible for developing a consistent pattern of discipline based upon the age of the student and the severity of the offense.

The principal will again take appropriate action. The disciplinary procedures as listed above will be used. For first offenses the less severe procedures will be followed. If the School Bus Incident Report is not the first, more severe disciplinary action will be taken. The principal will contact the school bus driver to obtain information as necessary. SCHOOL DAY The regular school day at Goldwood Primary School is 9:05 AM to 3:20 PM. Children may enter the classrooms at 8:55 AM. Kindergarten sessions are 9:05-11:50 AM and 12:35-3:20 PM. SCHOOL PICTURES Each year, usually in the fall, school pictures are taken. This includes an individual picture and a class picture. Pictures are taken of all children so that the school has a picture for safety measures. Various picture packages for purchase are available. Information about specific costs of the various packages is distributed to students approximately one week before the day pictures are taken. Payment for the selected package is due on or before the day pictures are taken. Even if no pictures are purchased, the student's picture is taken for the permanent record folder. A re-take date is established shortly after the pictures arrive for those students who were absent or whose pictures were flawed. SERVICE LEARNING Service Learning involves students in community activities that complement their classroom studies. Service Learning activities (e.g., Jump Rope for Heart, Harvest for Hunger, Welsh Home visitations, et cetera) show students that what is learned in school can be applied to the real world. Service Learning activities help students to become interested in their communities and show them how they can affect the quality of life in them. Goldwood Parent/Student Handbook Page 22

Kindergarten classes receive thirty minutes of fitness education each week in the gym; first graders receive 60 minutes and second graders receive seventy minutes of fitness education instruction in the gym each week. Each child works actively exercising, playing games, learning good sportsmanship, and working together on a team. A "Physical Best" program is utilized. "Physical Best" is a comprehensive physical fitness education and assessment program designed to motivate all children to participate in physical activity. It aims to develop their personal best. "Physical Best" can help us change the way our students think about their own physical fitness. "Physical Best" is educational, motivational, individualized, health related and based on health fitness standards. This program allows students to compete against themselves not with each other. It also promotes fitness activities in leisure time. We want your child to be his or her best -- healthy, fit, and well educated in all areas. Using this program will help your child to become his or her "physical best". STANDARDIZED TESTS Each year, a standardized achievement test is given in grade two. The testing occurs in the spring. STUDENT PARTICIPATION IN <strong>EDUCATION</strong>AL ACTIVITIES Students participating in the educational program may be subject to various physically demanding activities. These activities include, but are not limited to playground play, field trips, athletic contests and practices, and all other curricular and student activity events. If the parent or legal guardian has knowledge of his/her child's mental limitations of same, or has other personal concerns, the parent shall inform the student's teacher, instructor, advisor, coach, or appropriate administrator prior to participation in the activity. While it is impossible to foresee all possible dangers, some of the specific hazards or injuries which may occur are: slipping or falling, bumps, bruises, cuts, infections, insect bites, poisoning, sprains, fractures or other injuries. The designate supervisor of the activity will take reasonable precautions to minimize exposure to known risks; however, the participant's parent or guardian should understand the nature of the sport or activity and that not all of the stresses and hazards connected with the activity can be foreseen. TELEPHONE School phones are for official use and not generally available for student use. The school will call for a forgotten lunch or other critical item. Calls to arrange "play time" after school are not permitted. Remembering assignments, instruments, books, and permission forms are part of developing responsibility. Students generally are not permitted to use the telephone for these matters. TRANSPORTATION If your child will be receiving a ride home, please send a note to your child's teacher detailing who will be picking and meeting the child at his/her classroom. The safety of all our students is our main concern. Please cooperate with us by not calling Goldwood Primary School or sending in notes to alter bus stops. The Transportation Department’s phone number is 356-6042. Goldwood Parent/Student Handbook Page 23
