Procedure Reminders

Parents please remember that your child’s attendance is a very important element in their success here at school. If a student arrives after the 9:00am bell, that student is tardy. If a student leaves the school prior to our dismissal bell, they are being released to a guardian and it is also a tardy. Perfect attendance is all day, every day with two or fewer tardies. LCSC Student Handbook pages 31-36 has all the details and policy procedures.

Parents must call by 9:00am everyday that your child is out of school. We have a 24 hour attendance line that you can leave a message at 482-5950.

According to the LCSC Student Handbook, every student has: 4 Parent Days each semester 4 Doctor Excused Days each semester All other absences are Unexcused for the semester Any extended amount of school days needing to be

missed for a vacation or family situation need to be approved by Mrs. Sollman or Mr. Delarosa

If a student is missing for a funeral, it must be an immediate blood relative to be an excused absence (grandparent, aunt, uncle, mom, dad, brother or sister)

No School Monday, October 9th

Staff Training Day

Mobile Dentist will be at HBS on October 19th and 20th. Forms have been sent home

Lessons and Lifelines Our Student

Ambassadors are hard at work being trained for their upcoming Lifeline

Lesson on October 19th. Ambassadors have been

assigned their classrooms and training every

Thursday morning at 7:45 has started.

Ambassadors will go into your student’s classroom

and teach about the lifeline of the month every few weeks. As students show staff

behaviors that align with the lifelines, they can

earn Cub Callouts from any staff member here at

Stokes. Students will proceed through the

Superhero Justice League as they earn the Cub Callouts!

Lifelines: September-Persistence October-Respectfulness

November-Gratitude December-Caring January-Initiative

February-Efficiency March-Resilience

April-Integrity May-Dependability

Our kindergarten students have been working hard and learning a lot about the alphabet!

This past Friday the students were able to show off their hard work to the school is their

ABC Fashion Show. Students were given a specific letter. They took pictures and drawing

and wrote out words that represented their letter and put them on a paper coat to show

off to the school. Great job kindergarteners!
