Page 7 - Elementary - 2021-2022 Handbook

Dear Parent/Guardian,
Welcome to the Sheffield-Sheffield Lake Elementary Schools. This handbook has been developed to assist you and your child in making the current school year a successful educational experience. We urge you to keep this handbook in a convenient place for handy reference as many of your concerns can be answered even before contacting the school.
In order for us to educate your child, we need your support and cooperation. Rules and regulations are an integral part of any well-planned organization. Actually, no organization could operate without guides to assist in the functional process. Much confusion and misunderstanding is avoided by presenting a written guide.
This set of discipline guidelines does not identify the complexities associated with managing students who exhibit a variety of unacceptable behaviors; neither does it take into consideration extenuating circumstances or time factors. Accordingly, the administrator must be given latitude in the application of these guidelines.
If questions arise that this handbook does not answer, please feel free to contact the office. Often, we find parents are not familiar with whom to call should a problem arise. A school district follows the same “chain of command” of any large organization. We request you follow this order should you need a question answered: classroom teacher, building principal, and superintendent. If questions arise that are not answered in this handbook, please contact the person in charge closest to the problem. We are here to do the best job possible in educating your child.
We, in the Sheffield-Sheffield Lake Elementary Schools, feel that if the guidelines herein are followed, we can continue to channel our energies into the educating of the children.
We are looking forward to another year of quality education in our district.
Sincerely,
Ms. Jennifer Martinez, Principal Forestlawn Early Learning Center Mrs. Colleen Mudore, Principal Knollwood Elementary School Mr. Michael F. Cook, Superintendent
