EARLY CLOSING A decision to close early should be made by 10:30am except in the case of an unforeseen emergency. We will normally close two hours early at all schools from their regularly scheduled dismissal times. All students in PK-2 will have their parents/guardians called to notify them of the early closing. If we are unable to reach them, their child(ren) will be kept at the Kenneth C. Coombs School's cafetorium until they are able to be picked up. Early Closing Schedule K-2 12:55pm 3-6 12:50pm 7-12 11:45am If, after students have already arrived at school, a decision is made to sent students home early due to an emergency situations, parents/guardians will be notified through our Connect Ed computerized notification system. Our student personal Data/Emergency Information form requests the telephone numbers by which you wish to be notified through this computerized system. PASSES Students must have authorization to be out of a classroom when class is in session. This permission is given through the use of a student pass which is issued by the teacher permitting the student to be away from class. Otherwise, a student is accompanied by an adult. A student arriving late to school must obtain an office pass for admission. A student arriving late must be escorted to the office by a parent/guardian or a person designated by them and must have a note from the parent/guardian regarding the reason for tardiness. A student entering school after 8:25am is tardy. SNACKS Classroom teachers have snack daily with the children. Snack is either in the morning or afternoon, per their daily schedule. Teachers will notify you in September regarding snacks in your child's classroom. Some suggestions are plain popcom, soy nuts, pretzels, Wheat Thins, Triskets, yogurt, applesauce, cheese slices, raisins, cherry tomatoes, cottage cheese; cut up vegetables such as carrots, celery, cucumbers, broccoli; cut up or whole fruits such as pears, raspberries, strawberries, bananas, kiwis, plums, nectarines, watermelon, apples, oranges, cantaloupe, peaches, grapes, cherries, blueberries; a bagel, tortilla chips, graham crackers, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, lunch meat slices, granola bars, breadsticks, a muffin, comcakes and bottled water. Pre-packaged snacks should be avoided as most are loaded with preservatives, sugar, sodium and carbohydrates that are not nutritionally beneficial to your child. Also, refer to Wellness Policy in this handbook. 22
