Policies / Procedures:

> Safety Reminders: We have a Fire Lane designated in front of the building which means this is a NO PARKING AREA AT ALL TIMES. In case of any emergency this is the only access to our building for emergency vehicles. There are to be no cars in this during arrival and dismissal as it serves as a Bus Zone. Please note that cars should never pass a stopped bus in this zone during arrival and dismissal. This is a very dangerous practice as students and parents use the crosswalk to and from the parking lot and we have had "close calls" reported by bus drivers. All cars must exit through the front parking lot area during these times of the day. Thank you for helping keep our students safe.

> Arrival Procedures: Students are permitted to be dropped off and enter Bedminster Elementary School beginning at 8:35 a.m. Students can only enter prior to 8:35 a.m. if they attend the KidsCare Program or are part of before school activities. Entrance to KidsCare is through the main door. STUDENTS MUST NEVER BE LEFT UNATTENDED.

> Tardy Procedures: If Car Riders arrive after 8:50 a.m. Parents must park their cars and escort their child(ren) into the building and fill out the appropriate tardy information. STUDENTS ARRIVING AFTER 8:50 ARE CONSIDERED TARDY AND MUST HAVE THEIR PARENT PRESENT WHEN THEY ENTER THE SCHOOL BUILDING. A Tardy slip needs to be completed and given to the office. Please Sign In and Out: Please remember to sign in and out & use a visitor's badge when volunteering at the school. This is located is the main lobby.

> Dismissal Procedures: Please remember that all students will ride the bus home unless we have a note stating otherwise. You may write one note for the entire year if you pick your child up regularly. If you wish your child to go home with someone other than a parent, we must have a note. These notes are used to create the "Car Rider" sign out lists. If you discover during the school day that your child is not to ride the bus home, you must call the office before 3:00 pm and your child's name will be added to the "Car Rider" list. We call "Car Riders" at 3:25 pm each day. These "Car Riders" lists are placed on the tables in the Multi-Purpose Room for you to initial before you leave with your child. Once you have signed out your child, leave the school through the Multi-Purpose Room doors and use the crosswalk to the parking lot.

> Pennsylvania School Attendance Law: The Pennridge School District will be enforcing the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's School Attendance Law this 2008-2009 School Year. The law states: "A maximum of ten days of cumulative lawful absences verified by parental notification may be permitted during a school year. All absences beyond ten cumulative days should require an excuse from a physician." Absences include illness, quarantine, required court appearance, death in the family, educational tours and trips, as well as family vacations.
The law clearly states no student may be absent from school more than ten cumulative days without a written doctor's excuse including pre-arranged/approved educational trips or family vacations. Cumulative absences include: illness covered by parental contact (written excuse, fax, email, verbal communication via telephone call), family vacation while school is in session (pre approval needed), truancy, and other absences not classified as non-cumulative. Non cumulative absences include: extended illness verified by a doctor's note, death in the family, religious holiday as designated by the Department of Education, college visitation with proper documentation, and out of school suspension.

> Registration Procedures: Information available on the District's website regarding school registration procedures.
