Procedural Guidelines
Birthday & Party Invitations: Birthday food items must be store bought, content labeled, and provided in wrapped individual or prepackaged bulk format (e.g., Costco, Sam’s). Advance notice should be provided to the classroom teacher when intending to recognize their student’s birthday at school. School staff cannot provide student address and/or phone number for home birthday party invitation purposes. In addition, invitations for home birthday parties may not be distributed at school unless issued to every student in the class. Student personal information such as address, phone #, birth dates, will not be shared with other families.
Dismissal of Students during School Hours: The following procedures will be followed when dismissing students during the regular school day: 1) Written/emailed parent notice should be sent to the classroom teacher stating the expected time of release. 2) The parent or designated adult should call the office at 874-3680 prior to pick up. Come to the main front door to check the student out. Students will always remain with the teacher until check-out occurs. Students will not be dismissed to parents in school corridors, from the playground, etc. All dismissals will be made exclusively through the school office. 3) In the event there are legal restrictions regarding who may pick up a student, the custodial parent is requested to meet with the principal to discuss the situation and provide necessary legal documentation. Parent cooperation during student dismissal is appreciated with safety being the primary concern. 5) If possible, it is requested that parents/guardians refrain from picking their student up from school during the last 15 minutes before dismissal. This will help in maintaining a safe and orderly environment for our students and staff.
A health aide trained in CPR/AED/First Aid is on duty each day to assist students during illness or injury at school. The health aide will contact the parent/guardian or emergency contact by phone when their child becomes ill at school. The parent/guardian should always inform the front office staff or health aide with their child’s updated emergency contact information to insure timely notification in case of illness or injury. Prompt pickup of the student is required. Health Services may not, according to Blue Springs R-IV School Board Policy, administer prescribed medication unless the parent brings the medication to the clinic and completes the Medication Permit Form.
