School Day

It is extremely important for students to arrive on time and stay until dismissal. If a child consistently misses instruction, this will definitely influence the child's academic performance.

Arrival: The official school day begins at 8:30 A.M. Our building opens for students at 8:00 and adult supervision begins at this time. No student should arrive prior to 8:00, unless they are enrolled in our Before School Daycare Program. Students may report to their classrooms between 8:00 and 8:30. Teachers and assistants are on duty during this time to help supervise students. When arriving by car, parents should unload children in the carpool area at the front of the school where staff is on duty. Under no circumstances should parents unload carpool students at the back of the building. This is for the safety of all children.

Departure: Dismissal for car and bus riders begins at 3:00. If parents are going to change a child's regular form of transportation, we ask that they send a note or call the school by 2:00 P.M. Dismissal is an extremely hectic time. If a parent calls by 2:00, this allows the office staff time to contact the child and the child's teacher. All car riders will be dismissed in the afternoon at the gym area only. Car riders will not be dismissed through the front (office area), side or rear exits of the building. Parents are asked to stay in their vehicles and proceed through the line to pick up their children. Please do not park and walk up to get students. These procedures are designed for the safety and well being of your children.

Early Release Days: On early release days, students are dismissed at 12:00 noon. This includes buses and carpool. We will serve lunch before students are dismissed. On early release days staff members are involved in workshops and other required planning activities. Because staff members are involved in required activities and unavailable to supervise children, it is important that parents plan to pick up carpool students by 12:30 on early release days. Early release days scheduled for the 2008-2009 school year are: August 14, 2008, September 25, 2008, March 5, 2009, and April 16, 2009.

Carpool Information

Our major goal is to ensure the safety of our children! We realize that this is also your concern as parents. During the past several years with the support of parents, we feel that we have developed efficient and effective methods for use with carpool. We will work with you daily to make carpool work smoothly and safely.

Staff members will be on duty each morning and afternoon supervising children. We do need parents' continued support in making our carpool process simple, fast, and, most importantly, safe. Please help us by following the procedures listed below:

1. All children will be unloaded/loaded in designated areas only (morning carpool will unload in front of the main building at the office area; afternoon carpool will load in front of the gym).
2. Children will be unloaded/loaded by supervising staff members. Please reinforce with your child to follow the supervising adults' instructions. Safety is our first priority! We cannot risk the chance of a child running out in front of a car. Saving a few seconds of time is not worth a child's life! We ask parents to wait patiently.
3. Children should not be released from other exits to load in the afternoon. All car riders will be released at the gym.
4. If parents plan to pick up children prior to carpool dismissal, they must go to the office first. We cannot release children to parents who go to the classroom to pick up children without an office pass.
5. Parents must send a note or call the school if their child will be going home by a different form of transportation.
6. During afternoon carpool, please stay in your car to pick up your child. At dismissal, our policy is to release students in the carpool area by loading students into their cars. Please do not come into the gym to pick up your child. Because of the limited space, this will stop the flow of traffic and slow down the entire process for everyone. Please wait in the carpool line and we will load students as quickly and safely as possible. If you have an urgent need, please park and go to the office.
7. We will use the number system to help with carpool. Parents will be given a carpool number to display in their window. This number should be displayed throughout the year. We will have a corresponding list to identify children as they are picked up from school. Even if you received a carpool number last school year, you will need to get a new number for the 2007-2008 school year.
8. Keep in mind that the first few weeks of school, the process may be slower as students and parents become familiar with the process. Please be patient!

We will continously evaluate all areas of our school to make sure our environment is safe. We are extremely concerned for the safety of "our" children, and we must work together as a "school family" to provide the safest environment possible. By working together, we can make Lockhart even better!

Dress Code

The Wake County Board of Education has adopted a dress code for ALL Wake County Public Schools. Parents should read this dress code very carefully and make every effort to comply with the expectations. In the past, our parents and students have used good judgment in determining clothing. Because of this, we have had few problems in this area.  In the event that a student dresses inappropriately, the student is allowed to return to classes.

School Policy 6410.1 Student Dress Code
Inappropriate Dress- Principals shall exercise appropriate discretion in implementing this policy, including making reasonable accommodations on the basis of student’s religious beliefs or medical conditions. Students are expected to adhere to standards of dress and appearance that are compatible with an effective learning environment.  Presenting a bodily appearance or wearing clothing which is disruptive, provocative, revealing, profane, vulgar, offensive or obscene, or which endangers the health or safety of the students or others is prohibited. Examples of prohibited dress or appearance include, but are not limited to: exposed undergarments; sagging pants; excessively short or tight garments; bare midriff shirts; strapless shirts; attire with messages or illustrations that are lewd, indecent or vulgar or that advertise any product or service not permitted by law to minors; head covering of any kind; see through clothing; attire that exposes cleavage; any adornment such as chains or symbols, styles or attire frequently associated with intimidation, violence or violent groups about which students at a particular school have been notified.  Individual schools are free to specify additional examples of dress or appearance that are prohibited at that school under the terms of this policy.

If a student’s dress or appearance is such that it constitutes a threat to the health or safety of others, distracts the attention of other students or staff from their work, or otherwise violates this dress code, the principal or principal’s designee may require the student to change his or her dress or appearance.  A second or repeated violation of this policy may result in disciplinary action.

Attendance

Students are expected to attend school regularly.  However, there are circumstances that require a student to be absent from school which are considered approved absences.  These circumstances include:

• Illness or injury
• Quarantine
  
• Death in the immediate family
  
• Medical or dental appointments
  
• Court or administrative proceedings
  
• Religious observances
  
• Educational opportunities (unless school sponsored require prior approval)
  
• Educational leave (requires prior approval)
  
• Other reasons excused by the principal (requires prior approval)

Upon returning to school, students should present a written excuse within two school days from the parent/guardian stating the reason for the absence.  If a written excuse is not received within two days the absence will be considered unlawful/unexcused.  After six unlawful/unexcused absences, a report is made to the counselor or school social worker.  After ten unlawful/unexcused absences, legal consequences may be necessary.  To be considered in attendance for the school day, students must be present for at least three hours of instruction.

Attendance Areas and Proof of Residence:  In order for a student to attend Lockhart Elementary School, parents/guardians must reside in the Lockhart Elementary attendance area.  Board Policy requires that parents present proof of residence.  If you move outside the attendance area, Board Policy requires that parents request special permission for their child to remain in the school.  It is the parents’ responsibility to notify the school of any changes in residence.  Below is a list of possible documents that would serve as proofs of residence:

• Current utility bills (gas, water, or electric bills are accepted; no phone bills or cable bills)
• Signed lease agreement
• Settlement statement

Educational Leave for Students: By Board Policy, parents must make requests for Educational Leave to the principal in writing prior to a student’s absence from school.  The request can be in the form of a letter, or parents can pick up a form from the office.  This request should be made at least a week in advance in order to allow time to notify teachers of the upcoming absence.  When educational leave is approved, students are responsible for making up all work upon their return to school.  Teachers cannot be expected to compile assignments prior to the absence.  Before parents make a request for educational leave, they are strongly encouraged to consider the impact this will have on their child.  Even though students will be allowed to make up missed assignments, there is nothing that can make up for missed instructional time.  Students will be held accountable for learning the materials covered during the absence.

Perfect Attendance: At the end of the school year, students will be recognized for perfect attendance. If a child is late more than once, picked up early more than once, or misses any days from school, regardless of the reason, he/she will not be eligible for this recognition.

Child Nutrition Services

Cafeteria Program: The mission of our Child Nutrition Program is to serve nutritious breakfasts and lunches as well as a la carte items.  The program is committed to removing foods that are high in fat and/or sugar from the choices available to elementary students.  Changes being seen include new ice cream products, baked packaged snacks, reduced fat items, and 100% juices.  Juice drinks and highly sweetened snack items have disappeared.  There are many choices, but all meet the Winner’s Circle criteria.  Students may pay for their breakfast or lunch on a daily basis or make weekly or monthly prepayments.  Prepayment may be made in cash or by check to Lockhart School Cafeteria.  Once a student has prepaid, the amounts of the meals purchased are subtracted from the child’s account.

Breakfast:  The cafeteria is open for breakfast each morning from 8:00-8:25.  Students participating in the daily breakfast program should report directly to the cafeteria upon arrival at school.  Students must arrive in the cafeteria before 8:20 in order to participate in the breakfast program (unless they arrive on a late bus).  All students are expected to be in their classrooms by 8:30.

Lunch: Students may buy lunch at school or bring it from home.  If they bring lunch, they may buy milk or juice.  We ask that no bottled drinks be sent to school.  If a child forgets his/her lunch money, he/she will be given a vegetable plate.  A fund for lending money is not available.  Because we are concerned for the health of our children, we will not allow students to purchase extra items unless they have purchased lunch or brought lunch from home.  Extra items are not intended to take the place of a healthy lunch. 

Lunch and Breakfast Numbers:  At the beginning of the school year, students will be given lunch/breakfast numbers.  This number will be used to identify students, their lunch status, and whether they have money in their account.  It is mandatory that students know this number.  Please assist your child in learning this number.

Breakfast and lunch prices for elementary students are as follows for the 2008-2009 school year:

                       
Student Breakfast          Full Price   $  .80           Reduced Price    $  .30
Student Lunch               Full Price   $1.75           Reduced Price    $  .40

Adult Breakfast             a la carte prices
Adult Lunch                   a la carte prices

Milk      $  .50                Ice Cream   $ .75           Juice    $ .50 and $ . 75 

Free/Reduced Lunch Applications:  Parents can request an application to apply for free or reduced prices.  Applications are submitted to Food Services where they determine if parents qualify based on income.  Once applications have been submitted, it is mandatory that parents complete a new form if their income changes during the school year.  Parents will be required to pay for their child’s breakfast and/or lunch until the status of the application has been determined.

Purchasing Extra Items:  During lunch we sell extra items for students to purchase.  Students cannot purchase these items unless they have brought their lunch from home or have bought lunch from the cafeteria.  These items are not intended to take the place of a healthy lunch.  We do require that students purchase no more than two items. These items should be eaten in the cafeteria at lunchtime only and should not be taken back to the classroom.  We do not sell items for snack time.  If you wish for your child to have snacks at other times during the day, please send them to school with your child.

Discipline

Belief Statement

The reasons for a school-wide discipline policy are to insure a safe environment for students and staff, and to create an environment conducive to learning.  Our purpose for being here is to provide our children with the best possible instruction on a daily basis.  When a child misbehaves, it takes away from instruction for all the children.

Automatic Referral to the Office

The following offenses will result in automatic referral to the office.  Once the child is referred to the office for these offenses, the child may be suspended and/or a parent conference may be required.

• Fighting  
• Serious physical harm to and/or physical assault on an employee or another student  (Regardless of previous referrals to the office, students will be automatically suspended for serious physical harm to an employee or another student, and a referral will be made to the appropriate community agency.)
• Weapons on the school grounds  (Bringing weapons on the school grounds, including school buses and bus stops will result in an automatic referral to the office.)
• Serious damage to property
• Chronic stealing
• Chronic behavior problems
• Serious threats to staff members and/or other students
• Leaving school without permission

Pulling Fire Alarm

Pulling the fire alarm will result in automatic suspension.  This is very serious and could create an extremely dangerous situation for students and teachers.  Teachers are required to explain this to students during the first week of school.

Offenses That Require Immediate Action by Staff Members
For the following offenses, teachers will issue consequences and contact parents by phone.  If parents cannot be reached, the teacher should send a letter to the home.  These offenses could result in a referral to the office.

• Profanity (including inappropriate language and/or gestures)
• Disrespect
• Cheating/Forgery
• Disruptive behavior
• Damage to property including textbooks and library books
• Stealing
• Leaving class without permission

General Rules

• Students will respect staff and classmates in words and actions.
• Students will keep their hands, feet, and possessions to themselves.
• Students will walk quietly in the halls and on the breezeways.
• Students will have hall passes unless they are with an adult.
• Students will follow school and classroom rules.

Cafeteria Expectations
We recognize that children need time to socialize.  We want to maintain a positive atmosphere at lunch which requires certain expectations to be enforced consistently.  Our general expectations are listed below.

• Students should enter and exit the cafeteria quietly.
• Students should use “inside voices” and talk only to those students seated at their table.
• Students should clean up after themselves.  Items/trash should not be left on the table or floor.
• Students should not share food.
• Students should not leave their area without permission.

Weapons
Weapons including knives, razors, explosives, fireworks, guns, facsimiles of guns, and/or any other object that can reasonably be considered dangerous instruments are forbidden on any Wake County school campus.  (Please refer to WCPSS Board Policy 6427)

Pagers, Laser Pointers, Radios, Games, Cell Phones, Etc.
Pagers, laser pointers, radios, games, cell phones, and other non-instructional items are not to be brought to school.  These items are also forbidden on school buses.  Students who violate this policy will be required to leave the items in the office until parents/guardians come to school to collect them. 

Toys
Toys should be left at home unless they are brought to school with the permission of the teacher as a part of a class project or activity.  Toys distract from instructional activities and our staff cannot be held accountable in the event that toys from home are lost or stolen.  Staff members will collect “unauthorized” toys and keep them until parents/guardians come to school to collect them. 

Sale or Trade of Items
Students are not to engage in the sale or trading of any items with other students (for example: selling/trading cards, games, music, candy, gum, pencils, clothing, or any other personal items).  Selling/trading items is prohibited and could result in suspension.  Confiscated items will be held in the office until parents/guardians come to school to collect them.

Positive Behavior
The best discipline policy focuses on the positive rather that the negative.  We cannot allow the misbehavior of a few students to consume our time, energy, and effort.  Our focus must be on positive behavior.  The majority of our students do behave in a manner that supports school-wide rules.  For that reason, we use methods to recognize and reward positive behavior. 

Please Note:

All students are responsible for complying with and are expected
to be familiar with the WCPSS Code of Student Conduct and
school board policies governing student behavior and conduct. 
All Code of Student Conduct policies are contained in the WCPSS
Student/Parent Handbook (PDF- 2.1mb) , which is distributed to all students and
parents at the beginning of each school year or upon enrollment in
the WCPSS.  If there is a conflict between the rules expressed in
this handbook/agenda/planner and the Code of Student Conduct
policies, the WCPSS Code of Student Conduct policies shall take
precedence.

Todas las politicas del Codigo de Conducta Estudiantil se encuentran
en el manual de WCPSS de Estudiantes/Padres (PDF- 1.0mb) , el cual se distribuye
a todos los padres y estudiantes al principio de cada ano escolar o al
matricularse en el WCPSS.  Si hay un conflicto entre las reglas
expresadas en este manual de Estudiantes/Padres y el
manual/agenda/planificador de la escuela de su hijo(a) las reglas
expresadas en este manual deben tomar prioridad.

Health Issues

Medication:  School officials may administer medication to students only if the following criteria are met:

• The Parent Request and Physician Order for Medication Form (en Espanol)must be completed and submitted to the school.  The form can be obtained from the physician’s office or the school.  Once the physician has completed these forms, parents can bring these by the school or have the physician fax the forms to school (school fax number is 266-8537).
• Medication must be sent to the school in the original bottle with the physician’s label.  The parent/guardian should bring the medication into the office; please do not send medication in by the child.
• Medication forms must be completed each school year by the physician.
• School personnel cannot administer over-the-counter medication to students unless the doctor prescribes it.

Immunizations: State law requires that every child have an adequate record of immunizations on file at school. Generally, if a student has been enrolled in another school and transfers to Lockhart, this information will be provided to us from the previous school.  However, if this information is incomplete or not included in records sent, it is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to provide the school with this information. Failure to provide the school with your child’s immunization record within thirty (30) calendar days of his/her entry into school may result in suspension from school until the record is provided and/or immunizations are complete. 

State law requires the following minimum doses:

• 5 DTP, DtaP, or DT doses (If the 4th dose is on/after the 4th birthday, 5th dose is not required.  DT requires medical exemption for pertussis.)
• 4 OPV/IPV doses (If 3rd dose is on/after 4th birthday,  4th dose is not required.)
• 1 – 4 Hib does (If a child is younger than 5, requirement is met if 1 dose is given on/after 15 months of age.  Not required after age 5.)
• 3 Hep B doses (Children born on/after July 1, 1994 are required to have 3 does.)
• 2 Measles doses (At least 30 days apart.  1st dose on/after 12 months of age.)
• 1 Mumps dose (On/after 12 months of age.)
• 1 Rubella dose (On/after 12 months of age.)
• 1 Varicella dose (On/after 12 months of age and before age 19 months, exception being individuals with a laboratory test indicating immunity or documented history of varicella disease.)

Accidents: Parents will be notified of accidents needing medical or immediate attention.  Parents must be sure that the school always has a current emergency phone number on file.

Insurance: School insurance will be available to each student at the beginning of the school year.  Parents will be provided with information about this voluntary program at the beginning of school.  The premium and responsibility for completing the forms will be assumed by the students’ parent/guardian. 

(back to top)

Emergencies

Information Sheets:  At the beginning of the school year, all parents will be asked to complete student information sheets for their child.  It is extremely important that these forms are completed and returned to school at that time.  This allows us to update addresses, phone numbers, and other information that would be needed in the event of an emergency.  Parents should also include those individuals to whom their child can be released.  It is also mandatory that parents notify the school in the event that this information changes at any time during the school year.

Messages: Emergency messages may be left for students by calling the office at 266-8525.  Office staff will see that the message is delivered.  Messages may be left for school staff through the office.  Class will not be interrupted for telephone messages.

Emergency Drills:  Emergency drills are scheduled periodically throughout the school year.  Visitors, volunteers, and parents who are at school during a drill are asked to follow our evacuation procedures.

• Fire Drills: A fire drill is held each month that school is in session.  Students are expected to follow the directions of their teacher during a fire drill.  There is no running, talking, or disorderly conduct during a fire drill.
• Severe Weather Drills:  Severe weather drills are held periodically.  When the signal bell sounds, students and adults evacuate the classrooms and proceed to the designated areas.  Teachers will practice drill instructions with students.

Visiting Campus

Office: Our school office is located to your left as you enter the main front doors.  Mrs. Frazier, Mrs. Lohse, or Mrs. Pope will be happy to assist in any way. 

Visitors: Anyone visiting our school must first check-in and check-out at the office and wear a visitor’s badge while on campus.  Please remember to enter through the main entrance.  Visitor parking is available in the front of the school and to the side of the gym.  Visitors should not park at the back of the building. 

Observing in Classrooms:  Parents are encouraged to visit classrooms; however, parents/guardians are asked to notify the teacher a day in advance of their visit.  It is important that we make the most of our instructional time.  Visitors in the classroom can distract the children and, as a result, disrupt instruction.  For the benefit of all children, it is important that the teacher is aware in advance and can prepare the children for visits.

(back to top)

Lost and Found

Please be sure to mark your child's coats, sweaters, hats, book bags, and other personal belongings with your child's name so that items can be returned if misplaced. Articles that are found are taken to the office.  Lost items can be claimed by proper identification.

Valuables: School staff try to prevent losses, but they are not responsible for students’ personal property.  Unnecessary money and/or valuables should not be brought to school.  Please be sure that personal belongings and clothing are labeled with your child’s name.

Damaged or Lost Materials:  If students lose, destroy, and/or damage a book, musical instrument, etc., while it is in their possession, it is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to reimburse the damages.  This includes theft.  Please note: Once payment has been made for a lost textbook or library book, payment will not be refunded.  As a result, if the student locates the book after payment has been made, then the book will belong to the student.

(back to top)

Conferences

Parent conferences are considered an essential part of a child’s education at Lockhart.  Open communication between home and school foster success.  Parents are encouraged to talk with teachers about their child’s progress.  We hope that you will feel free to come in at any time that you have questions or concerns.  Conferences may be arranged by a note to the teacher or by calling the school (266-8525) to leave a message for your child’s teacher.  Times may be arranged to conference with your child’s teacher after school or during his/her planning time.  Parent-teacher conference evenings scheduled for 2008-2009 are:

Fall Conference for Track 1:                   August 28, 2008            4:00-7:00 PM
Fall Conference for Tracks 2, 3, and 4:   September 18, 2008      4:00-7:00 PM
Spring Conference for Tracks 1 and 2:    January 29 , 2009          4:00-7:00 PM
Spring Conference for Tracks 3 and 4:    February 26, 2009         4:00-7:00 PM

Inclement Weather

Delays, Early Dismissals, or Closings due to Weather Conditions:  Please inform us of the method of transportation you plan for your child in the event school is dismissed early due to inclement weather (ice, snow, flooding, early release, etc.) or any other unforeseen incident.  The first notification of early school dismissal, delayed opening, or school closing is made to the local television and radio stations.  If the weather appears threatening, please turn to a local station for information (TV channel 5 and Radio station 101.5 are recommended). 

Parents are requested to listen to the news media to learn of delays, early dismissals, or closings rather than calling the school for this information.  When calls are made to the school, it ties up our incoming lines to the extent that calls cannot be received or placed at the school.  Parents of students enrolled in day care centers should check with the center to learn if the center will pick up students when school is dismissed early. 

Please note that year-round schools do make up days missed due to inclement weather on Saturdays.

Kindergarten Registration

Certain information is required for enrolling a student into kindergarten.  This information includes:

Curriculum

Proficiency Standards: Proficiency standards for promotion have been established for all students in kindergarten through fifth grade.  Throughout the year, your child’s teacher will be able to share information with you concerning how your child is performing in relation to grade level expectations.  Teachers will talk with parents about possible strategies to support their child’s continued growth.  During the school year, we will conduct informational sessions related to promotion standards.  Parents are strongly encouraged to attend.  It is crucial that parents understand the expectations for each grade level.  Please familiarize yourself with what your child must accomplish to be promoted to the next grade level.  Parents should feel free to contact the school to arrange conferences with questions or concerns. Should you have questions, our school staff will be happy to talk with you.

Fourth Grade State Writing Testing: Fourth Grade students are given the N.C. Writing Test.  The test is usually scheduled in early March.  The test lasts approximately one hour and 15 minutes.  Copies of this test are kept in the student’s cumulative folder.  Passing scores on the writing test are benchmarks for promotion. On the test, students write a narrative.  A narrative paper tells a story.  Students must present a clear story that the reader can easily follow.  The written narrative must include:

Title I Literacy Program

Our Literacy Program is geared toward building reading skills and accelerating reading progress.  It is available to eligible kindergarten through fifth students.  Students who are having difficulty with reading skills and reading comprehension may be eligible.  Our Title I Literacy teachers work with small groups of children with reading skills and strategies.
