For students from kindergarten to grade one, there will be opportunities to visit a grade one <br /> classroom to get a feel for the next level. Also, a Step Up to First Grade parent night is <br /> conducted. All kindergarten parents are invited and encouraged to attend to learn about the <br /> grade one requirements, curriculum, instruction, etc. Grade two students will visit Quashnet <br /> School several times before transitioning to grade three. Individuals or small groups will be <br /> provided even more opportunities than the general class to meet their needs. <br /> An educational parent evening will be conducted at the Quashnet School for our grade two <br /> parents/guardians whose children will be third graders. Guidance personnel from Quashnet <br /> School visit every grade two classroom in the spring to speak with them about their upcoming <br /> new school. Coombs second grade staff will ensure good communication between Coombs and <br /> Quashnet regarding our children. <br /> SECTION VI <br /> HEALTH (School Nurse) <br /> The Nurse is on duty during the entire school day. Students who feel ill in the school must have <br /> authorization from staff to visit the Nurse's Office. <br /> Absence - When a child is absent, it is the responsibility of the parent or guardian to telephone <br /> 508-539-1526 by 8:45am to inform the school that the child will not be attending that day. <br /> In addition to phoning in an absence, parents/guardians must send in an absentee note with the <br /> child upon returning to school after an absence. <br /> Emergency Card — The emergency card needs to be updated immediately if you have any <br /> changes in your employment, home phone number, home address, cell phone number or <br /> emergency contact persons (two local individuals). <br /> Be aware that your emergency contact person will be contacted and responsible for your child in <br /> the event of an injury or illness if we are not able to reach you. If the individual who comes to <br /> school to pick up your child is not on the emergency card, but has been designated by you for <br /> pickup, he/she will be required to produce a picture ID upon arrival to school. If no one can be <br /> reached in the event of an emergency, 911 will be called, and your child will be transported to the <br /> nearest hospital. <br /> Parents/guardians will be notified, as needed, throughout the school year of occurrences of <br /> communicable diseases. Under certain circumstances, further information will be disseminated <br /> through the School Messenger computerized notification system. <br /> Dismissal for illness - The Nurse will determine whether the student is not well enough to remain <br /> in school and the parent/guardian will be contacted. Parents/guardians are required to list two <br /> alternate names on the Emergency Procedure Cards of persons to be contacted if the <br /> parent/guardian is unavailable. <br /> 51 <br />
