TARDY TO SCHOOL
A student will be considered tardy to school if he/she is not seated in class when the bells ring at 9:15 AM according to the school atomic clock. Teachers take attendance at 9:15 AM daily. Students who arrive after that time need to go to the office and have a parent sign them in. Students will be given a slip to show their teacher the time they have checked in.
TESTING
ISD #831 uses several different standardized tests in the elementary grades. All students in kindergarten through sixth grades will take the NWEA (NorthWest Evaluation Association) tests. All students in grades 3-6 will take the State Assessments (MCA’s) in reading and math. Grade 5 will also be given the MCA Science assessment.
THINGS TO BRING TO SCHOOL
Have your children bring appropriate clothing such as sweaters, mittens and boots, facial tissues, school supplies, gym shoes, and any other supplies as requested by any staff member.
THINGS TO LEAVE AT HOME
Inform your children NOT to bring cell phones, skateboards, rollerblades, hard balls, electronic games, or any items, which could be dangerous. Also, trading of cards of any sort is prohibited. Thank you in advance for supporting our efforts to keep distractions here at school to a minimum.
TITLE I
22
The Title I program helps children with basic skills in reading and math. The children receive this added help in small groups in their own classrooms. They are under the supervision of a Title I staff member and the classroom teacher.
An important part of Title I is parent participation in the program. Various meetings are planned during the year for staff and parents. Informational workshops have also been presented. The Title I staff will try to answer any questions that might arise concerning the program.
TRUANCY
MN Statute §260A.02 provides that a continuing truant is a student who is subject to the compulsory instruction requirements of Minnesota Statute §120.101, and is absent from instruction in a school, as defined in Minnesota Statute §120.05, without valid excuse within a single school year. When a student is initially classified as a continuing truant, MN Statute §260.03 provides that the school attendance officer or other designated school official shall notify the student’s parent or legal guardian, by first class mail or other reasonable means, of the following:
the child is truant
the parent or guardian should notify the school if there is a valid excuse for the child’s absences
the parent or guardian is obligated to compel the attendance of the child at school pursuant to Minnesota Statute § 120.101 and parents or guardians who fail to meet this obligation may be subject to prosecution under Minnesota Statute § 127.20.
this notification serves as the notification required by Minnesota Statute § 127.20.
alternative educational programs and services may be available in the district
the parent or guardian has the right to meet with appropriate school personnel to discuss solutions to the child’s truancy
if the child continues to be truant, the parent and child may be subject to juvenile court proceedings under Minnesota Statute Ch. 260.
if the child is subject to juvenile court proceedings, the child may be subject to suspension or restriction.
