achievement. Student work habits and effort are also noted on the formal report
card.

Safety Drills

Safety drills are conducted for possible emergency situations on a regular basis.
Students, staff and parent volunteers are instructed to follow procedures
appropriate for these situations. The school is in regular contact with the
community safety services that help us monitor the quality of these drills. For your
well-being and the safety of our students, if you attempt to pick your child up from
school in the event of a real emergency (e.g. fire, tornado, intruder, etc.), you will
be asked to participate in the prescribed safety drill procedures until it is deemed
safe by school officials and/or local authorities for children to be excused.

School Rules

In order to ensure that all of our students experience a nurturing and safe
environment, we have established an umbrella of three basic expectations: Be
Respectful, Be Responsible, and Be Ready. In addition, students are expected to:

 Show respect to one another at all times.
 Keep hands, feet, and objects to yourself.
 Follow directions the first time they are given.
 Do nothing to hurt another person physically or verbally.
 Walk in the hallways and to and from busses.

These rules apply at school, at school events, and while riding the transportation
system to and from school.

Consequences for misbehavior may include the following:
 Conference with the student/parent
 Removal of privileges
 Time-out in the office
 Community service (in school)
 In-school suspension
 Out-of-school suspension
 Expulsion

Speed Limit

All drivers should limit their speed to 10 m.p.h. on Ellsworth Hill property for the
safety of the students.
