From the Principal
 August 2011
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Welcome to the 2011/2012 School Year at Babeck Elementary! I am glad to be back at Babeck again as the principal for this coming year. It will be an exciting and challenging year, as our district has made some changes to our elementary buildings. Babeck will be the Early Childhood School for the Edgewood School District. All of us, staff, students and parents, need to work together to create the best learning atmosphere for our students. Here are a few important items to help us accomplish this task.
ACADEMIC SUCCESS:
Your child's academic, emotional, and social well-being is our primary concern. It is our goal to help all of our students be happy, healthy and succeed academically by meeting the standards established by the Edgewood Board of Education as well as those set by the state and federal governments. Together, we can achieve this goal.
ATTENDANCE:
Students should not arrive before 8:15 A.M. School begins at 8:40 A.M. so please have your child to school no later than 8:35 A.M. so that he/she will get a good start to his/her day. Thanks for your cooperation with this matter. Attendance is directly linked to academic success! Should your child be sick and have a temperature of 100 degrees or higher, please do not send them to school. You can send in a note the next day to have the absence excused.
BREAKFAST PROGRAM:
Breakfast is offered to all Babeck students beginning Thursday, August 18th. The cost of breakfast is $1.25. Students who qualify for free and reduced lunch qualify for a free or reduced breakfast as well. The reduced breakfast price is 30 cents. Students who wish to eat breakfast should arrive to school at 8:15 AM. Breakfast is served from 8:15 until 8:35 A.M.
EMAIL:
Please make sure we have your current email address as weekly emails are sent out to keep parents informed. This is a great way to receive communication from the school about what is happening.
LATE ARRIVAL:
Starting Thursday, September 1st, the Edgewood School District will have late arrival starting times. This has been approved by the state to give our staff additional professional development time. Babeck staff will be using this time to dig deeper into our curriculum, assessments, and intervention to best meet the needs of our students. School will start at 9:40 AM starting Thursday, September 1st. Breakfast will begin at 9:15 AM on Thursdays, starting September 1st.
FIRST DAY PAPERWORK:
Like every year, on the first day of school, your child is coming home with many papers for you to fill out and return to school. We know evenings are busy, but we need you to complete the following forms and return them to school no later than Wednesday, August 31. Please return all forms that are required by the school.
• EMERGENCY MEDICAL FORM: (Triplicate copy – top is white)
• PICTURE AUTHORIZATION FORM (Yellow) This is to give permission for student's pictures to be used in school calendar and newsletters
• DIRECTORY INFORMATION/RECORDS (White) This is an annual notice to inform you of what information may be released)
• FREE OR REDUCED LUNCH (white form – if applies)
• DIRECTIONS FOR ARRIVAL & DISMISSAL (green sheet – please read and understand traffic flow)
• FEES & LUNCH PRICES (pink sheet – information on fees and lunches)
• FROM THE COUNSELOR (blue sheet)
• ADDRESS CHANGE (lavender sheet) Half sheet in case you have recently moved
TRAFFIC FLOW:
Drop off and pick up will occur on the East side of the building at the circle turn. Students being dropped off will enter through the gymnasium doors and then either be seated in the gym or walk to the cafeteria for breakfast. Students may be dropped off between 8:15 and 8:45 AM. Students arriving after 8:45 AM should be signed in by parents at the main office to receive a tardy slip. Afternoon PS and KG students may be dropped off at the circle turn between 12:45 and 1:00 PM. They will enter the gymnasium and wait for their teacher to pick them up. Students arriving after 1:05 PM will need to be signed in by parents at the main office. Dismissal of all car riders will be at the circle turn on the east side of the building. See arrival and dismissal map for more information.
PARKING LOT:
Parents are welcome to park in the North parking lot and meet their child at the door for dismissal. The north exit (to Cypress) is a one-way exit from 3:00 – 3:45 PM for dismissal. Please let your child's teacher know so they can exit out the walkers' door (East end of building near overhang).
APPROPRIATE ATTIRE:
Please help your child arrive to school dressed appropriately for the weather and for their classroom schedule. On days your child is scheduled for physical education, please make sure she/he wears gym shoes. While popular, flip-flops are not the best footwear for the school environment and I highly discourage students from wearing them (we had a lot of accidents with flip-flops last year). Healies are not permitted in the building at any time. Please remind your child to wear footwear with backing around the heal to help keep their shoes on and their feet safe.
SCHOOL PICTURES:
School pictures are scheduled for Tuesday, October 4th and Wednesday, October 5th. on a pre-paid plan. Please watch for further information.
SCHOOL FUNDRAISER:
Our school fundrasier runs from Sept. 9th through Sept. 23rd. All the money raised goes back into the school to help with needs in the classrooms. Thanks for your help to make this another successful fundraiser.
VACATION FORM:
We have a vacation form that must be completed before students are gone on vacation during the school year. All absences during a vacation will be counted as unexcused according to Board Policy. You can see the secretaries for a vacation form.
VOLUNTEERING/VISITING:
We love to have visitors and volunteers at Babeck helping out. All visitors must sign in at the office and they must leave their drivers license. No one will be permitted to visit a classroom without leaving their driver's license. This is for the safety of all students in the building.
If you have any questions regarding your child or any questions about our school, please stop by, email, or call me at 988-0111. On behalf of the entire staff at Babeck Elementary School, I welcome you and wish you and your child a successful and fun-filled school year!
