SHEFFIELD-SHEFFIELD LAKE CSD ELEMENTARY STUDENT HANDBOOK
PUBLIC SOLICITATIONS IN THE SCHOOLS
No person may sell or offer for sale within school buildings or on school property any articles or services or solicit contributions except those approved by the Superintendent or the Board. This policy does not prohibit any school fundraising activity authorized by the Superintendent or other appropriate building administrator.
Salespeople representing educational companies may be granted the opportunity to speak to teachers by making arrangements through the principal’s office. Such appointments must not interfere with the classroom work of the teachers.
The school directory or lists of students are not made available to any outside person or agency for a profit-making purpose.
REGISTRATIONS, TRANSFERS, WITHDRAWALS
Preschool and Kindergarten registration will take place at the building. First and Second grade registration will take place at the Board of Education.
Parents of students transferring or withdrawing to any other school out of the district are asked to notify the school office. The proper forms will be prepared for parent signature and a copy of the withdrawal will be given to the parent to take to the new school.
RESIDENCY
Ohio Attendance Law and Policy 6.14 of the Sheffield-Sheffield Lake City School District, stipulates that a child is entitled to attend school ONLY in the district which he/she or his/her parent(s) or legal guardian(s) reside. Sheffield-Sheffield Lake City Schools may attempt to verify residency at any time. Shared residency must be updated at the beginning of each school year.
ROOM ASSIGNMENTS
A lot of thought and input goes into assigning a child to a particular classroom. The child’s reading level, style of learning, math ability, peer relationships, teaching style of the classroom teacher, balance of class size, etc. are all taken into consideration. Therefore, once all the data is reviewed and a placement is made, it becomes very difficult to change. The administration of a building is always willing to listen to the parent’s input. Specific requests for class placements are not accepted. The classroom lists are posted on the entrance doors the day before school starts.
SCHOOL PICTURES
School pictures are taken in the fall and spring. Parents may purchase pictures if desired; however, pictures are taken of all students.
TELEPHONE USAGE
The telephone in the office is to be used for school related emergencies or illness. Permission for a student to use the telephone must be given by the secretary or principal. Cell phones are permitted in the building, but must be turned off, kept in book bags and may not disrupt the school. If cell phones are confiscated, parents are responsible for picking up the cell phone from the main office.
VALUABLES
Children should not bring large amounts of money or any valuables to school. The following are examples but not limited to: toys, video games, cameras, radios, iPods, laser pointers. THE SCHOOL WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE TO THESE ITEMS.
VISITORS
ALL VISITORS MUST IMMEDIATELY REPORT TO THE SCHOOL’S OFFICE UPON ENTERING THE BUILDING. Parents are welcome to visit the building and observe classes. It is requested, however, that prior to the visitation, arrangements are made through the classroom teacher or the school’s office. Students not enrolled in the
Sheffield - Sheffield Lake City Schools are not permitted to attend classes.
Any visitor to the school whose presence or conduct is disruptive, whose behavior, past or present, suggests that he/she intends or is likely to become disruptive, may be requested to leave the premises. If the visitor so addressed does not withdraw, the principal may summon assistance from the local law enforcement agency.
