PROCEDURES/INFORMATION
CHANGE OF PLANS
All changes of dismissal plans for your child must be in writing, preferably sent into school with your child in the morning. If for some reason you are not able to send the note in with your child in the morning, the office will accept changes up until 12:00 noon on the day in question. For your convenience, we will accept these changes via email. Please email the classroom teacher and dismissalchange@aufsd.org. If you are unable to notify the school in writing by 12:00 noon, your child(ren) will be dismissed according to their regular dismissal procedures. Telephone calls with regard to a change of plans will not be accepted unless they are of an extreme emergency nature.
DISMISSAL PROCEDURES All parents waiting for their children must wait outside. Once all the students are safely dismissed, you may come back into the building to conduct school business. All visitors must report in at the Reception Desk.
VISITORS TO THE SCHOOL
All visitors are required to report to the main office upon arrival at school and state their business. Visitations to classrooms for any purpose require permission in advance from the Principal or his/her designee. The Superintendent or his/her designee is responsible for all persons in the building and on the grounds. When individual Board members visit the school, they must abide by the regulations and procedures developed by the administration regarding school visits. For these reasons, the following rules have been developed by the Superintendent and apply to all visitors to the schools:
• Anyone who is not a regular staff member or student of the school will be considered a visitor.
• All visitors to the school must report to the office of the receptionist upon arrival at the school. There they will be required to sign the visitor’s register and will be issued a visitor’s identification badge, which must be worn at all times while in the school or on school grounds. The visitor must return the identification badge to the receptionist’s office before leaving the building.
• Visitors attending school functions that are open to the public during the school day, such as parent-teacher organization meetings or public gatherings are required to sign in.
• Parents/guardians who wish to meet with teachers while school is in session are required to arrange such visits in advance with the classroom teacher(s), so that class disruption is kept to a minimum.
• Any unauthorized person on school property will be reported to the Superintendent or his or her designee. Unauthorized persons will be asked to leave. The police may be called if the situation warrants.
• All visitors are expected to abide by the rules for public conduct on school property contained in the District’s Code of Conduct.
• We encourage all parents to attend the special events scheduled throughout the year by their classroom teacher. All visitations must be prearranged with the classroom teacher and office. Unannounced visitors will be asked to come back on a specific date and time.
• Friends or relatives of children attending Amagansett School will not be permitted to attend classes with his/her friend(s) or relative(s). Teachers cannot be expected to assume the added responsibility that such a visitation brings.
BUS SAFETY REMINDER
To ensure your child’s safety and security during the afternoon drop-off, all students in grades kindergarten through grade 2 must be met at the bus stop by a parent/guardian or an authorized adult. Please ensure you are at the stop AM & PM five minutes before your scheduled pick-up/drop-off time. Students in kindergarten through grade 2 will not be permitted to exit the school bus in the absence of their parent/guardian or previously designated person unless the school is advised in writing by the parent/guardian of an alternative pickup designee. This note/email must be submitted to your child’s teacher or school receptionist no later than 12:00 noon on the day in question. Any student who is not permitted to exit the bus will be returned to the school where the parent/guardian will be contacted to make other arrangements.
SAFETY ON AND AROUND SCHOOL GROUNDS
The Amagansett School strives to create a healthy and safe learning environment for our students both in and outside the building. Please be reminded of the following:
• Dogs, with the exception of service animals, are not allowed on school property.
• Please use the crosswalk at all times.
• It is not safe to double-park in front of the school to discharge or pick up students. The crossing guard and children stand and walk in this area and it is dangerous when cars enter this area.
• If you need to make a U-turn, please turn around at Meeting House Lane or Miankoma Lane rather than turning directly in the front of the school.
• Please do not use the bus lanes for drop-off or pickup at any time during the hours of 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
CHARGE FOR LOSS OF BOOKS, MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT
Parents will be charged for books, computers, instruments and other school property lost or damaged by students.
