When the students arrive for the first day of classes they should go to the appropriate playground (see the map) to pick up their nametags and daily schedule.  Posters will be hung along the outside school wall for each class.  At 8:55, a warning bell will signal for all students to line up in front of the poster with their class.  Their teacher will then take them into the classroom from there.

Students arriving after 9:00 should stop by the CollegeBound office (room 130) for a nametag before going to the classroom.  If they are early for a class, they should sit quietly outside the classroom door and wait for the bell before going inside.

Breakfast AND Lunch

Franklin Elementary hosts a free breakfast and lunch program for children and youth under the age of 18.  Breakfast will be open from 8:00 – 9:00 am.  If your child is here during the lunch hour (between periods 3 and 4, 11:55 – 12:40), he/she may either bring a lunch from home or eat a school lunch free of charge.  There will also be supervisors out on the playground between 3^rd and 4^th periods to monitor the students during this time.

Discipline

Rules

1. Respect people and property.
2. Stay with the class. 
3. Leave personal belongings at home.
4. Follow teacher instructions.
5. Have fun!

Consequences

If a student violates these rules they will be sent to the office.  Below are the consequences that accompany each progressive trip to the office:

1. Warning/Goal setting for making future right choices.
2. Phone call to parents and in-school suspension (time-out in another classroom).
3. Student sent home immediately and suspended for the following two consecutive program days.  No refunds will be given for suspended students.

*Serious misbehavior will result in an immediate 2-day suspension.  This includes fighting or malicious physical contact, destruction or theft of the property of others, harassment, and/or obscene, vulgar, or abusive language or actions.

Dress Code

Students are not allowed to wear short shorts, 2 piece swimsuits, bare midriffs, spaghetti straps, or halter tops. For safety reasons, shoes must be worn at all times.  Students dressed inappropriately will be sent to the office to call parents for a change of clothing.

Early Check-Outs

In order to maintain the security of our students the following procedures for early child check out will be enforced.  If a child must leave early, an adult on the “approved pick-up” list must come in to the CollegeBound office (room 130) and sign him/her out.  That person will then receive a note to give to the teacher stating that the child has been properly checked out.  Unless an adult has a “check-out” note from the office, teachers will not let the students leave.

Halls

Before school (1^st period only), students should remain outside until the bell rings when teachers will come and take them in.  Students arriving at a later hour (for periods 2^nd-5^th) should sit quietly outside the classroom door and wait for the bell to ring before entering the classroom.  Students are not allowed to wander or play in the halls.

Health/Safety

Illnesses

Please do not send your child to school with any of the following symptoms:

-Fever over 100 degrees       -Discolored nasal discharge

-Sore throat                            -Undiagnosed rash

-Severe cold                           -Diarrhea

-Vomiting                                -Inflamed, red, or mattery eyes

Parents will be called to pick up a child that arrives with or develops any of these symptoms during the day.

Medication

If your child needs to take medication during the day, you can:

---Come in and administer it yourself OR

---Stop by the CollegeBound office to get a medication form, have your doctor fill it out, and bring it back along with the medication in a properly labeled prescription bottle.

CHILDREN ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CARRY MEDICATION WITH THEM AT SCHOOL.

Special Needs

If your child has any special medical needs, please include necessary information on their profile.  This includes allergies, asthma, diabetes, hearing problems, etc.  We would also appreciate specific information from the doctor as to what we should do if there is a problem.

Emergency care

Parents will be notified if a child receives an injury more severe than the typical bumps, bruises, and scrapes.  This includes any head injuries, possible breaks, large or deep wounds, or allergic reactions.  If the child’s condition appears to be life-threatening and emergency medical attention is deemed necessary, 911 will be called and then the parents will be contacted immediately.  When the paramedics arrive, they will determine what medical attention is required and, if necessary, which medical facility to take the child to.  Parents will be responsible for all medical costs.

Seven Peaks

We will be going to Seven Peaks on Friday, July 16^th.  Students as well as any immediate family members can attend for just $5 each (children three years and under can get in for free).   Any children under the age of 18 who is not enrolled in the program MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY AN ADULT.  Students in the program will be accompanied by teachers and volunteers.

Transportation

BUS--There will be a bus provided for students who live along the regular bus routes for Franklin Elementary.  This bus will collect students before periods 1, 3, and 4 and then return them after periods 2, 3, and 5.  You may obtain a copy of the bus schedule in the CollegeBound office.   A bus will be provided after lunch at 12:40  (not 2:40 as previously posted) to the Boys and Girls Club located at Joaquin Elementary (550 N. 600 E. in Provo).  All busses will pick up and drop students off on the west side of the building.

PICK UP--Someone from the “authorized pick-up” list must come TO THE CLASSROOM to sign a student out at the end of class. This method is recommended for smaller children who might easily get lost in the crowd.  Please be prompt—the teachers have other classes to teach or are waiting to go home themselves.  (Older students can pick up younger siblings IF their names are on the pick-up list).

WALK HOME

Water Bottles

Since we will be holding the program during the hot summer months, we encourage students to bring a water bottle, labeled with their name.
