Personal illness or doctors= appointmentsBverification from a physician required Death in the family Court appearance or subpoena Religious holidays as recognized by the NJ State Board of Education Upon returning to school from an absence, the student has twice as many days as those absent to complete all make-up work. Family vacations are recorded as Aunexcused@ absences from school(unless prior approval has been granted from the building principal and the vacation does not exceed 5 days). Students should secure their assignments before leaving and must submit all work upon their return. Following four or more unexcused absences and periodically thereafter, parents will be notified(Please see truancy update letter on page 40). More than nineteen unexcused absences in any given school year may result in a student=s retention for that school year. LATENESS TO SCHOOL Lateness to school may result in academic difficulties in missed classes. Furthermore, chronic unexcused lateness negatively impacts a child=s ability to be academically successful. With this in mind, we strongly encourage students to arrive on time to school. Parents will be periodically notified of their child=s lateness record. In addition, disciplinary consequences will occur: after 3 tardies the student will accrue a one hour after school detention; after five tardies the student will accrue two one hour detentions; and after 10 tardies the student will receive a Saturday School detention. A parent conference with the intent to remedy the habitual pattern of latenesses will be scheduled after 10 tardies. In the event that a student is late to school, he/she must report to the Main Office to obtain a late pass and be registered in attendance PRIOR to reporting to their respective classroom. If a student arrives after 8:30 he/she must be accompanied by an adult. ATTENDANCE AND EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES If a student is absent an entire school day, he/she may not participate in practice, game or other extra-curricular activities that day, unless an exception has been granted by administration. If a student is absent on the day prior to a contest or an activity, he/she may participate if the excuse is legitimate. Students must be in school for a minimum of half a day (four hours or more) to be eligible to participate in a co-curricular activity (athletic practices and contests, performing groups such as choral, music and drama activities or other school approved curricular activities) for that day and/or evening. ARRIVAL MORNING ROUTINE 8
The school day begins at 7:55 AM. At that time all students should be in their homerooms ready to begin. Students who arrive in the building prior to 7:45AM must report directly to the area within the school that is designated for their grade level and remain there until their teachers arrive to accompany them or until they are dismissed to go to their lockers to begin their day. 4 th , 5 th and 6 th grade students enter via Pine Street and go to the All- Purpose Room. 7 th & 8 th graders enter via the Front/Cedar Street main entrance and go directly to the main gymnasium. EMP & EDP The Florence Township Board of Education sponsors an Early Morning Program (EMP) and an Extended Day Program (EDP). EMP starts on the first day of school in the cafeteria and runs each school day from 7:00 AM until the school day begins. The cost is $20.00 per child per month. EDP starts on the first Monday of the school year, September 10, 2007, and begins each school day from dismissal until 6:00 PM. Monthly tuition is based on a cost of $9.00 per day per child. CHILDREN MUST BE ENROLLED IN THESE PROGRAMS TO ATTEND. Applications are available online via school and district websites or from the school office. For more information, please contact Sher Chadwick, program director, at 499-4669. BREAKFAST Breakfast food is available in the cafeteria every morning for $1.00. Students must arrive early enough, however, to have enough time to purchase and finish eating breakfast, since they may not leave the cafeteria with their food, nor are they permitted to be late to their first period class. SCHOOL DAY PROCEDURES LOCKERS/LOCKER USE Each student is assigned one locker, which is registered in the student=s name. Locks must be purchased through the Riverfront School at a cost of $6.00 per lock. Locks other than those provided for purchase by the school will not be allowed, since for the safety of students and the security of the building, all locks must be accessible by master keys provided to the administrative as well as security offices. First period classroom teachers will also maintain a confidential master list of their students= locker numbers and combinations as an additional safety and security measure. Lockers are school property and, as such, may be inspected/searched by appropriate school personnel when deemed necessary. If the school personnel determine that a locker will be searched, the contents will be assumed to belong to whoever is using the locker. Students should not share a locker, nor should students ever share their locker combination numbers with others. Maintaining a locker is an important lesson in responsibility for a student. Students are responsible for the care and condition of their lockers at all times. This means that lockers should be closed gently and not by kicking or slamming. Students should not deface or damage 9
