Berger Hall Administration & Library Upper School Student Center Sports & Fitness Center Sports & Education Annex (SEA) Middle School 
School buildings are generally open weekdays 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Parents and students should be aware that the school does not supervise students before 7:30 a.m. Some buildings will remain open after 5:00 p.m. if there is a supervised activity scheduled. General Hours 7:30 a.m. Classroom and Administration buildings open 5:00 p.m. Classroom and Administration buildings close
Unless a school function or activity is scheduled, the campus buildings will be closed. Communication Updated Web Site www.caryacademy.org The Cary Academy web site is revised weekdays to keep you informed about the school community, programs, and events. It is the single most accurate and current source of school information; we encourage all members of our community to visit the site first when seeking information about programs and events. CA students, parents, faculty, and staff all have individual email addresses that are published in the directory. Staff email addresses and phone numbers are also posted on our website. CA community members are encouraged to convey information, correspond on matters of interest, share thoughts, suggestions or ideas, and engage in healthy dialogue on issues relative to our work together at the school. Cellular Phones To avoid disturbing classes and programs, Upper School students must leave school buildings to receive or make calls on a cell phone. Cellular phones must be on 'silent mode' at all times inside all buildings. Commonly Used Phone Numbers 677-3873 for Main Switchboard 677-1946 for Automated Menu Head of School’s Office 228-4530 Middle School Office 228-4600
From off campus, employees may be dialed directly by using the 228 exchange followed by their four digit extension number. All telephone extensions are published in the CA Directory and can be found on the CA web site under the Directory Search function. Note that teaching faculty do not have direct phone extensions; to coordinate a phone call, please email the faculty member with your contact information. News and Information The News and Information Hot Line has information regarding school closings and the Daily Calendar for Athletics and Special Events. Weekday evenings the Hot Line will be updated with a recorded message giving the schedule of events for the following day. During the school day, any changes to the schedule (such as cancellations due to inclement weather) will be added to the recording.
During the school day, we want our students to focus on their academic programs. We do not recommend casual email, phone calls, or texts to students. If, however, you need to contact your son or daughter, and it is not an emergency, please try to email them or call them directly. If it is an emergency, or they do not respond, please call the Upper School office. Visitors Students wishing to visit Cary Academy for admissions purposes must have their visit approved and scheduled (at least three days prior to the visit) by the Admissions Office. Other student visitors must secure permission from one of the Assistant Heads of Upper School prior to the visit. All visitors should check in with the administrative assistant in the appropriate building to receive a visitor’s badge. Communication Guidelines for Parent/School Teachers are expected to share information with parents and keep them advised of student progress or concerns. Similarly, parents are encouraged to contact their child’s teachers or advisor with questions or information that will help the teacher to work successfully with the student. If, for any reason, a parent is concerned about a specific situation involving his/her child, the parent should always first try to solve the problem at the level at which it occurred. Confidential or sensitive information should be conveyed in person or by telephone, not by email. The proper sequence of communications (called the Parent Communication Path) was developed by the Family-School Partnership Committee. 1. First, contact the teacher, advisor, or coach.* 2. If the issue is not resolved satisfactorily by talking with the teacher, advisor, or coach, contact the appropriate Department Chair, Assistant Division Head, or Division Head. 3. If earlier steps are unsuccessful in resolving the problem, the final step is to contact the Head of School. * Refer to the Department Directory section of the Cary Academy Directory for faculty names
Communication with Teachers Email: All employees have regular access to email and this is the preferred method of initial communication when you need a response within a 24-hour period during the school week. Please note that teachers may be off campus for several days leading student programs, or on personal leave, and therefore unable to respond within 24 hours. Phone: We recommend a phone call when the issue will likely involve an exchange of ideas, information, and opinions. Using email to set up this call is recommended. Conference: We encourage parents to set up conferences with teachers and/or advisors to discuss the academic and social development of their child. Please email the teacher and/or advisor to set up the conference. Cary Academy Gift and Celebration Policy Guidelines for Student and Parent Gifts to Employees Children and families often wish to give gifts to faculty and staff at holidays and/or the end of the year. Our policy concerning gifts is intended to keep them appropriate and reasonable, and to respect the wishes and comfort level of employees. A note recognizing an employee’s commitment is preferred. If an individual or group wishes to recognize an employee by providing a gift, the following guidelines apply
Invitations to Events and Parents’ Homes
Program Celebrations This would include team, performing arts, debate, etc. parties. Attendance is optional and there can be no charge to attend. If food is served before or after an event, the cost of food/venue is limited to $12 per person for a meal or $5 for snacks. Program Fundraising and Gifts Parents or students may not raise funds or solicit gifts for programs unless approved by the Director of Advancement. A fundraising form is available online and must first be submitted to the employee organizing the program, then brought to the Director of Service Learning, who coordinates fundraising efforts of US Students. Student Instructions for Safety and Security … Lockdowns
General Security If during the school day you see a person on campus who does not have a security badge and looks out of place …
… Notify a faculty or staff member or call 677-3873 (from 8am to 5pm) or 218-1284 (security from 5pm-8am). While violence is not common, it is most often done by students at the school – your peers. Students are the best prevention. If you have any information or concerns about the possibility of a student inflicting violence at school, share this with an adult at school: your advisor, a teacher, an administrator, or a school counselor. If you are in need of a phone on campus for emergency or safety purposes (e.g., an injury occurs and you want to call 911 or you feel unsafe and are unable to get adult help):
**Suggestion: program into your mobile phone 677-3873 (main school number from 8am to 5pm) and 218-1284 (security from 5pm-8am) Basic Web Safety and Security Never give out your full name, address, phone numbers, and school name to people you meet on-line. Never share your password with friends. Realize that a person who you are chatting with on-line may be very different than who s/he leads you to believe. In the Event of an Emergency… School Closings or Delays When inclement weather occurs, a decision on whether or not to close or delay the opening of school will be made by the Head of School and Director of Facilities by 6:00 a.m. or the evening prior if possible. If there is a winter weather advisory in effect, and we have not yet made a decision for the following day, we will let the community know via our website and email that we are monitoring the weather. We will also indicate when the CA community can expect an update. Please note that Cary Academy does not always close or delay when Wake County Public schools or other private schools close or delay. Information on school closing or delay is conveyed to the CA community via the following methods:
While we do alert local media with closing and delay information as soon as we make our decision, we have no control over their publishing this information in an accurate and timely manner. The most reliable means of obtaining accurate closing and delay information are by either checking our website or calling the school’s hotline. Radio Stations Television WPTF 680 AM WNCN NBC-TV 17 WQDR 94.7 FM WTVD ABC 11 WUNC (NPR) 91.5 FM WRAL TV 5 WQOK 97.5 FM Carolina News 14 WRAL 101.5 FM WLFD TV Fox 22 WXFC 107.1 FM WFXK 104.3 FM WNNL 103.9 FM
Medical Emergencies/Injuries Any accident that results in injury should be reported immediately to a Cary Academy employee, Nurse (x4562), Athletic Trainer (x4682) or Administrative Assistant (MS x4600 or US x4546). After school hours, contact Athletic Trainer, Security (218-1284) or 911. Damage to Property Any damage to personal or school property should be reported immediately to a Cary Academy employee. Fire Alarms Fire alarms are located in every building and should be pulled in the event a student or employee sees a fire in progress or detects smoke. The person who pulls the alarm should evacuate and later report his/her actions to one of the Division Heads. Fire Drills Fire drills are a required safety precaution and will be conducted on a regular schedule. When the alarm rings, all students and employees are to quickly and quietly leave the building by the route displayed in every classroom, office, and hallway. Tablets are to be left in the room where the class is being held. All windows and doors must be closed. Students should remain quiet throughout the drill. The drill monitor will give the all-clear signal to re-enter the buildings.
Severe Weather Policy A weather radio is monitored at all times in order to receive news of severe weather watches and warnings. A tornado watch will be announced over the PA system as soon as the information is received. At this time, faculty members will review tornado warning procedures. Students will be instructed to move backpacks and bags from hallways to the classrooms. Outside activities will be stopped and students will be directed to the nearest building. In the event of a tornado warning, all employees and students should quietly evacuate to designated shelter areas; these areas are posted in all rooms. Students and employees should not exit any building. School Services Counseling Services The goal of Counseling Services at Cary Academy is to support the school’s mission to educate the whole child by focusing on the social and emotional development of students. In particular, School Counselors are available to assist students for whom academic, social and emotional issues are affecting the learning process or general development. Counseling is provided individually or in groups. School Counselors are also available as a resource for parents, providing guidance on issues related to adolescent development, parenting, and the student’s school experience. When students or families require support that extends beyond the means of Cary Academy staff, or at the parent’s request, the School Counselors provide parents with referral information regarding professional services in the community. The information revealed by a student or parent during counseling is confidential and will not become part of the student’s school record. More generally, the information revealed by a student (or parent) during counseling is not subject to disclosure without the individual’s consent; however, there are important exceptions to the expectation of confidentiality. An exception is warranted when disclosure reasonably appears necessary to protect the student or someone else from serious, foreseeable, and imminent harm. If the School Counselor reasonably believes that the student may be in imminent danger, the counselor may contact the person who is responsible for the student’s well-being (usually a parent). In such instances the School Counselor will inform the person that he or she is concerned for the student’s safety and recommend a course of action. Similarly, parents may be contacted when the School Counselor reasonably believes that there may be a serious emotional or behavioral condition that requires further assessment or treatment. Sometimes the law requires disclosure when there is information that indicates the possibility of child abuse. It should also be noted that in nearly every instance federal law requires a minor’s written consent for School Counselors to inform parents of their minor child’s request for substance abuse or child abuse services. Students and parents are encouraged to contact the School Counselor at any time. If a parent has concerns about their child or about participation in counseling services, the parent should speak with either the counselor or the Head of Upper School. Learning Specialist The Learning Specialist's primary role is to assist faculty in supporting the unique educational needs of those students identified though individual education plans. In addition, the Learning Specialist works with identified students to help them develop effective learning strategies and advocacy skills. The Learning Specialist is also available as a resource to parents of identified students, providing guidance and information to help them better understand and support their child's learning needs. There are two Learning Specialists; one who oversees grades 6-9, another for grades 10-12. Health Services The School Nurse’s office is located on the first floor of the Middle School Building. The School Nurse maintains medical and immunization records on each student and will dispense prescription and non-prescription medications as authorized. The information revealed by a student or parent to the School Nurse or the School Counselor is confidential and will not become part of the student’s school record. For further information on our confidentiality policy, please refer to Counseling Services. Students and parents are encouraged to contact the School Nurse at any time. If a parent has concerns about their child or about participation in nursing services, the parent should speak directly with the School Nurse. In the event of student illness or injury which requires home or emergency care, the School Nurse will provide appropriate care and attempt to contact a parent at work or home; if the parent cannot be reached, the School Nurse will call the “emergency contact” number provided by the parents. The School Nurse cares for ill students until a parent arrives. To maintain a healthy school environment and reduce the spread of communicable disease, students who become ill during the school day must see the School Nurse, who will then contact parents and the appropriate division office if the student must be sent home. The nurse may send students home for the following and other medical reasons deemed appropriate.
Immunization Policy North Carolina State Law G.S. 130-152(a) requires immunizations for every child in North Carolina. Parent, guardian, or person in loco parentis is responsible for ensuring that children receive required immunizations. North Carolina Immunization Rules [15A NCAC 19A.400] spell out specific dosage and age requirements for immunizations. Specific information can be obtained through the School Nurse. Diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, measles (red measles), mumps, rubella (German measles) and haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) are the immunizations required to enter public and private schools. No student may attend any grade (K-12) of any school without presenting proof of immunization. If proof is not presented on the child’s first day of attendance, notice, preferably in writing, must be given to the parent/guardian. The parent/guardian has only 30 calendar days from the child’s first day of attendance to show proof of the required immunizations. By the end of this 30-day period, the child must show proof of completed immunizations. If the required immunizations have not been completed, the child must be in the process of completion. The health care provider administering immunizations to the child must verify this in writing. This verification should include the date of the last vaccine given and the date of the next scheduled vaccine. Upon termination of the 30 calendar days or the extended period, the Principal/Head of School shall not permit the child to attend school unless he/she is immunized. The school shall maintain information required for a certificate of immunization on file with the School Nurse. These immunization records shall be open to inspection by the Wake County Health Department (N.C.G.S. 130A 153-155). Exemptions may be possible for medical and non-medical reasons. Please contact the nurse for further information. Medication Policy The School Nurse or designate will not administer ANY medication to students unless the Medication Administration Form is properly completed and signed by the physician/licensed health care provider and the parent/guardian. In the absence of the School Nurse, designated personnel will administer medication. In the event that medication administration requires special expertise, involves unusual risks, or a student or parent refuses to adhere to the medication policy, Cary Academy reserves the right to decline to administer the medication. Medications will be kept in a locked cabinet and stored as prescribed. All medications brought to school for a student is to be in the original container (for administration during school hours and school activities). Prescribed medications not in the original container can not be accepted or administered by Cary Academy. Each student’s medication and medication administration record will be maintained in a confidential manner. Self-Medication:A student may be allowed to carry and self-administer asthma medications, insulin, and epinephrine when parent(s) and physician assess, in collaboration with the School Nurse, that the student is able to use them appropriately. A parent may elect to have asthma medication, insulin, and epinephrine administered from the School Nurse in accordance with other medication procedures. Cary Academy will assume no liability for monitoring self-administration, including frequency, dose, or failure to self-medicate when necessary. Students may not self-medicate with any over-the counter or prescription medication during the school day, except for those students with asthma, diabetes, or those requiring emergency epinephrine for severe allergic reactions, without prior permission from their Physician, Parent/Guardian and School Nurse. Students who violate this policy may be subject to disciplinary action. Parent(s)/guardian(s) of children who self-medicate during the school day may be held liable if another child takes the medication. Emergency Administration of Epinephrine and/or Diphenhydramine by School Nurses: The School Nurse is authorized by the Cary Academy Physician Consultant to administer oral diphenhydramine hydrochloride (Benadryl) and/or subcutaneous epinephrine to any student or staff member who exhibits symptoms of severe allergic response or anaphylactic shock. The student’s parent and physician will be notified immediately after emergency administration. If further emergency care is needed, 911 will be called. 911 will always be called in any case where epinephrine is administered. Library Students are encouraged to use the Cary Academy library for quiet study, reading, checking out materials, and conducting research. Access Privileges Access to the library and borrowing privileges are granted to members of the Cary Academy community. This includes faculty, staff, students, and parents of currently enrolled students. Students will use their ID cards to check out library materials.

Dining Services All Cary Academy students eat together by division in the Dining Hall. Cary Academy offers a lunch designed to strengthen community and broaden student friendships. The Dining Hall staff carefully prepares all meals, paying close attention to students’ nutritional needs. Students always have a moderate amount of choice, including a salad, pasta and sandwich bar, on a daily basis. When a student has been placed on a special diet, every effort will be made to accommodate that student’s needs. A written note from a physician must be filed with the School Nurse to allow Cary Academy to plan for these accommodations.
