Special Reminders for Parents and Guardians
Name Badges from the Office
We
consider ourselves very fortunate to have tremendous parent help and
support here at Rio as we have clocked as many as 10,000 volunteer hours
in years past. With so many adults on campus, it's imperative for us to
monitor who is here and where they are in order to ensure the safety of
our children. So, we now have a strict procedure that will be enforced
to ensure campus safety. All volunteers and visitors are required to
sign in at the front office, as was our policy last year. Any adult on
campus between 8:00 and 1:45 must wear one of our name badges with the
location clearly written. Parents at school to pick up students at
the end of the school day must stay in the quad area between the MPR and
the office. Please help us keep our children safe.
Tardy
Students
We also have a new, revised procedure for tardy
students. Our intention is to reduce classroom interruptions and promote
student learning by reducing the amount of repeated tardies we have here
at Rio. We certainly understand that "life happens" and being tardy or
late can be an unfortunate and, hopefully, rare event for all of us.
Nonetheless, students are tardy if they arrive after 7:49 and must get
an admit slip from the office as it has always been. Now, any
student arriving after 8:00 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian to
be signed in for the day. Students will not be released to class
until the parent/guardian signs him/her in. Students who report to the
classroom without following this procedure will be sent to the office
until the parent/guardian signs the student in for the day. Having
students at school on time is one of the best ways supporting him/her
both academically and behaviorally.
Medications at School
No medications can be given to a student or taken by a student
without Dr.'s orders. This includes over-the-counter pills, syrups,
ointments, and eye drops. Medications appearing in the classroom will be
confiscated and the parent will be called. If this is a medication that
needs to be taken on a daily basis for a period of time, the Health
Office will obtain Dr.'s orders upon the parent's written request on the
proper form. A parent may come to school to administer a medication to
their child at any time. Thank you for your understanding and your
assistance in keeping all our children healthy and safe at school.
