BICYCLES

 

Students in 4th & 5th grades are the only students allowed to ride a bicycle to school.  All bike riders must wear a helmet as required by state law and lock their bike to the bike rack.  NO student is allowed to bring a skateboard, scooter, or roller blades/wheelies to school.

 

PLAY EQUIPMENT

Ample play and athletic equipment is provided for pupils at Kingsley School.  All equipment meets health and safety specifications as set forth by State and District codes.  We request, therefore, that pupils do not bring toys or athletic equipment from home for use on the playground during school hours.

 

PHONE CALLS

 

With 800 students and a surcharge for each call made, we must limit the number of phone calls children can make.  Your child will not be allowed to call home for such things as forgotten homework or lunch money.  In addition, phone calls to school interrupt instruction.  Therefore, phone calls to teachers need to be placed during non-instructional (class) time.  Children need to know daily after school instructions and lunch plans prior to coming to school to each day.  Children should not bring a CELL phone to school.

 

LUNCH

 

If a child is not eating in the cafeteria he/she must bring their lunch in the morning. Parents may not bring a lunch from home or a fast food lunch to the office as it interrupts the instructional day.

 

PERSONAL CELEBRATIONS

 

Because instructional minutes are so very important, personal celebrations such as birthday parties are not allowed during class, recess, or lunch time.

 

HEALTH OFFICE

 

A health clerk is on duty each school day. It is important that the clerk always have a current home number for each child in case of emergency.  California State Education code requires that you be informed that all medication must be administered through the health office with a doctors consent on file.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

STUDENT INSURANCE

 

Student insurance forms will be sent home. This is an optional plan which is provided for your protection. Send the application directly to the insurance company, not to

the school.

 

 

LIBRARY

 

Kingsley students and parents may check out books from our school library.  A permission slip will be sent for each child. Children visit the library on a weekly basis.  Parents, grandparents, and / or friends volunteer their time so each class has a time to check out books.  We hope you will let your child participate in the library services and will donate any time you might have available for this special project.  The library is open to parents to check out books before school one

day a week.

 

 

LOST AND FOUND

 

Articles of clothing that are turned in as "lost" are sent to the cafeteria to a clothes rack.  You and/or your child should check there if something has been misplaced.  Purses, keys, jewelry, and other valuables are kept in the office.

 

 

DISASTER ALERT

 

Kingsley has a disaster plan in case of emergency.  All staff have been assigned responsibilities for keeping children safe.  Children remain at school until they can be picked up by parents or others indicated on the emergency card as having permission to take children home.

 

INFORMATION/FLYERS

 

A monthly calendar is sent home letting parents know of upcoming events or information.  We also post upcoming dates on our marquee in front of the school.  Our revolving message board from the office window gives short announcements in English and Spanish.  You may also call the school at any time at 397-4608.
