Park Elementary School's Vision

Guidelines for Visitors

Visitors are welcome at Park school. Please observe the following guidelines:

• All visitors should report to the office during school hours to secure a visitor's pass. A staff member will assist you at that time.

• Please do not go to the classrooms during the instructional hours of 8:10 a.m. to 3:00 pm unless you sign in as a parent volunteer.

• Please come to the office, and your child will be called if you need to see them.

• Teachers are available for conferences during specials,  before and after school. You may leave a message for your child’s teacher if you need a conference. Your cooperation in this matter is appreciated.

• You should wear a “ Visitors Pass ” while in the building. All staff members have been instructed to approach and greet visitors in the school and offer assistance.

These guidelines will help ensure a safe environment and fewer disruptions to instructional time (8:10 a.m. to 3:00 pm). I appreciate your cooperation.

Picking Up Students

•  During the school day, from 8:10 a.m. to 3:00 pm., parents should meet students in the office and sign them out before leaving the school grounds. If someone other than a parent or guardian will be picking up a student, please send a note or call the school to let the office know. Please have identification ready when picking up a student. School staff may not always recognize parents, guardians, or family members. Students will not be released if the office has not been previously notified, proper authorization cannot be validated, or any questions about the student's early release. If you send a note for your child to pick up by someone other than a parent, please have a number where you can be reached if there are any questions.

Students Arriving Early/Late

•  Students should not arrive before 7:45 a.m. If a student arrives after 8:15 a.m., you must come to the main office and sign your child in with the Attendance Clerk.

School Absences

• Park Elementary School's attendance policy requires that students attend school unless they are sick or out of town. Please call the school if your child will be absent. You may call 524-6138. Please note, even if you call in, the absence may not be excused based on the State requirements.

Students need to be in school. Would you mind encouraging your child to be in attendance every day? If your child is not here, they cannot learn! Whenever a student misses school, there are learning experiences and opportunities missed which cannot be made up.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.
