WELCOME TO CORKSCREW ELEMENTARY! Welcome to Corkscrew Elementary School! As the Proud Principal of an “A” rated school, here at CES, Excellence is Expected! Our school’s mission is to foster a learning community where students engage in experiences that develop self-confidence and a love of learning resulting in respectful and responsible citizens. CES students show each and every day they are digital learners, global citizens and forward thinkers!

Last year, Corkscrew Elementary became a FranklinCovey Leader in Me school, focusing on learning and living the 7 Habits, in order to strengthen leadership skills. This year, we continue our Leader in Me journey, “Growing Leaders One Habit at a Time”! Students, staff and CES families continue to be foundation and core of CES and through the 7 Habits, students will thrive in the areas of academics, creating a positive culture and building their own leadership.

Our dedicated and caring faculty and staff create an environment that is focused on student engagement, rigor in the classroom and innovative learning. I know the beginning of this year is quite different than the previous 21 openings of Corkscrew Elementary but with all of our stakeholders working collaboratively, this one will be the best one yet! We look forward to continuing to educate our CES Bears while supporting their social emotional learning. We can’t wait to see all of our little Bears return to Corkscrew Elementary August 31st! Sincerely,

Dr. Rebecca Merhar

Arrival & Dismissal Procedures Arrival Details

The campus is open to students at 7:45 A.M. Adult supervision is not available prior to this time. Students may arrive between 7:45 AM - 8:20 AM Upon arrival students should:

• Have breakfast in the cafeteria • Go to their classroom

The tardy bell rings at 8:25 A.M.

Arrival Procedures Bus Riders Car Riders/Bikers/Walkers

Bus riders should proceed to the cafeteria for breakfast, report to their morning activity, or classroom.

In the morning, the gate leading to the Waterways Community will be open. Students can also enter on the sideways from the other communities. Only students will be permitted through the gate.

The following safety protocols are expected to be followed on school buses:

o Students will be required to wear a face covering. Safety glasses are optional. o Families should sit together, where feasible o School buses will be cleaned daily by drivers o Hand sanitizer will be used when entering the bus

Hand sanitizer will be used after exiting the bus and prior to entering the school

Dismissal Details • Students will be dismissed at 2:50 PM and led by teachers to their respective destinations: bus loop,

car rider pick-up, or after school program (cafeteria). • Parents are not permitted to sign out students after 2:30 P.M. as this disrupts a safe and

orderly dismissal process. • Transportation changes will be emailed to all staff and an announcement will be made when they

are completed. All staff are required to check the transportation changes, every day.

Dismissal Procedures For the safety and security of all students, students will be dismissed from 4 points:

• Car riders — east side of building (in the middle school bus loop) • Walkers (students who walk from school to home) front of building through bike rack • Walkers (students who walk from school to home) back of building by playground/hardcourt • Bus riders - bus loop is at the front of school

Page 6: Corkscrew Elementary School Student-Parent Handbook 2020-2021 · 8/11/2020  · Student-Parent Handbook 2020-2021 . Corkscrew Elementary School 1065 County Road 858 . Naples, FL 34120

Bus Riders • Any pupil missing his/her assigned bus shall report immediately to the adult supervising the area. The

student will then be brought to the office and the parents will be called immediately for transportation arrangements.

• A recurrent problem that has caused disappointment for children is to learn that they cannot go home with a friend on the bus to play, for a birthday party, etc. Please explain this to your child. The buses are for the purpose of transporting children to and from school. They do not function as a public carrier. Students who refuse to follow bus safety rules will receive a “Bus Referral” which is given to an administrator. For the first referral (depending on the severity of the referral), the student will receive a warning and appropriate consequence. Parent contact will occur upon the second referral, and MAY RESULT IN SUSPENSION FROM THE BUS FOR 1-10 DAYS AT THE DISCRETION OF THEPRINCIPAL/ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL.

Bicycle Riders and Walkers

Students who walk or ride bicycles should come directly to school using designated bicycle paths and follow all traffic safety rules. It is required by state law that all children, under the age of 16, must wear helmets when riding bicycles. For security, bicycle riders must use locks for their bicycles while parked at school. Children are required to walk their bicycles while on school grounds. The privilege of riding a bicycle to school may be rescinded if safety rules are not followed.

• Only students who walk/ride a bicycle from school to their home should dismiss in the walker dismissal areas. Parents who are walking with their students to their home may meet walkers at the bike rack. All others are asked to follow proper dismissal procedures.

Car Riders • Parents who drive their children to school are reminded that the safety of all children is dependent upon

all drivers being safe, cautious, and courteous. Please observe safe driving rules around the school. Please follow the directions of the school staff to follow proper traffic patterns for the safety of children and adults.

• Children who ride home by car are dismissed only to the east driveway (formerly the bus loop). A double line of cars will be used to facilitate the dismissal process. Children may not approach their car until all traffic has stopped in front of the loading area. Please watch the staff members on duty for instructions. Please note that any car parked in the No Parking areas adjacent the campus can receive a citation.

• Because of the amount of traffic, all parents should drive into the car dismissal line and stay with their car until school staff loads their child. We realize that some parents are volunteering in the school or attending end of the day activities and will need to cross with their children. For your child’s safety, we ask that you wait for assistance from school staff to cross. Children are not allowed to cross the street without adult supervision. Parents are not permitted to go to their child’s classroom to pick up their child before or at dismissal.

• Students in the car line holding area will be dismissed only to those who are in their car, in the car line, following correct car line procedures.

• Signs with student names will be provided for each vehicle during the first week of school. Signs are to be placed on the driver’s side of the dashboard or on the visor. If the sign is not displayed, the student must be picked up in the office where identification must be presented. The students will only be released if the person is on the authorized pick-up list (emergency card). If you do not receive a car sign, one can be picked up in the front office.

• Please make sure the appropriate dismissal location is clearly marked on your child’s emergency card and please update this with the teacher and the office if it changes during the school year.

Early Dismissal Procedures

Students are dismissed at 11:50 and led by teachers to their respective destinations: bus loop, car rider pick-up, or after school program (cafeteria). Follow all regular dismissal procedures.

Rainy Day Procedures Follow regular procedures unless otherwise directed by administration. If there is a lightening delay, walkers will be held in the media center until the weather clears. Phone calls will be made to inform parents that we are holding students for their safety. Parents will be able to come to the front office or car line and pick up their child. Please be prepared to provide proper identification.

Transportation Changes

All transportation changes must be called in to the main office (239-377-6500) or be written by the parent or legal guardian and given to the front office. No changes in transportation will be made based on the student’s word. All transportation changes should be received by 2:00 PM on the day of the change to ensure there is time to communicate the change to the necessary staff.

Attendance

Parents/Guardians are responsible for their child’s attendance. Arriving to school every day, on time, and remaining all day is important for academic success. Regular attendance is essential to a child’s success in school. Most subjects are taught in sequence, requiring the understanding of each concept in the order of its presentation. Persistent absenteeism creates a genuine hardship for a child and is regarded as a very serious problem. Please be advised that excessive or unexplained absences will result in an inquiry by the Department of Pupil Services. Chapter 232.10, Florida Law, states, “Each parent of a child within the compulsory attendance age shall be responsible for such child’s school attendance as required under the provision of the Florida School Law. The absence of a child from the school shall be prima facie evident of a violation of the School Law”.

CCPS Policy - http://collierschools.com/student_relations/docs/Attendance%20Policy.pdf

School Hours – 8:25 AM – 2:50 PM

Early Release Dismissal Time 11:50 AM

Absences: If your child will be absent from school, we ask that parents call our school office (239-377-6500) before 8:45 AM, to notify us that he/she will not be in school. Parents should give the child’s name, teacher’s name, and reason for the absence. If a child is absent with no parent/guardian notification, the school will activate an automatic phone call informing the parent of the absence from school.

Parents/Guardians are required to notify the school when their child is absent and inform the school of the reason for the absence within twenty-four (24) hours by a telephone call or written note/email order to qualify for an excused or validated absence. Below are the types of absences:

• Excused Absence – Student is absent and a doctor’s note is provided • Validated Absence – Student is absent and parent/guardian contacts the front office to inform the

school (this call should take place each day a child is out of school) • Unexcused Absence – Student is absent and the school is not notified of the absence

Attendance Communication:

If a student is absent with no parent notification, the school will activate an automatic phone call informing the parent of the absence from school. Parents will be contacted via telephone after five absences per semester. A letter will be sent home after both 7 and 10 days documenting absences.

Page 8: Corkscrew Elementary School Student-Parent Handbook 2020-2021 · 8/11/2020  · Student-Parent Handbook 2020-2021 . Corkscrew Elementary School 1065 County Road 858 . Naples, FL 34120

Tardies: Student tardiness is a concern that must be addressed in order to provide the best education for all our students. Prompt arrival at school is expected of all children. Students should be in the classroom by 8:20 AM. Late arrival disrupts the class and causes loss of instructional time. Any child who arrives at school after 8:25 AM is considered tardy and must come to the office for a pass to enter class. This also applies to children coming in late from an appointment (doctor or dentist). The only exceptions are children arriving on late buses, those on safety patrol duty, and news crew participants. It is the parent’s responsibility to bring the tardy student to the front office for check-in.

Habitual absences and/or tardiness have a negative impact on student achievement and development. Any situations of habitual absences and/or tardiness will be investigated requiring a parent conference to address attendance concerns. Please help your child develop responsible habits. Develop a morning routine that will get your child to school on time.

Make-Up Work:

If a student is absent from school, it is the student’s responsibility to make-up work missed during this time period. If a student misses more than two days for sickness, a parent may contact the school to collect information about assignments missed. Teachers must be given 24 hours to prepare make- up work and materials. At least one (1) day shall be allowed for each day of missed work. A student or teacher may agree on an alternate schedule of make-up work when the length of time for make-up work needs to be modified.

Technology Collier Connect- One-to-One Devices for Students PRE-KINDERGARTEN AND KINDERGARTEN

o Students will be assigned an iPad The iPad will be available for students to take home GRADES 1-5

o Students will be assigned a laptop o The laptop will be available for students to take home o CCPS will use a common template in the Canvas Learning Management System (LMS) for courses to ensure a

consistent experience for students, parents, and educators o Canvas LMS will be used daily on campus in courses and will provide flexibility to pivot to remote learning as

needed

Advances in technology have fundamentally altered the ways in which information is accessed and communicated in our world. These changes have created new tools to enhance teaching and learning.. BYOD is an acronym for Bring Your Own Device. For BYOD, a “device” is a privately owned laptop, tablet computing device, netbook, e-Reader, iPod Touch, iPad, or cell/smart phone for this program. The term “device” also includes any similar product owned by CCPS and provided for student use. Our students are digital natives and live in a world where information creation and consumption is constantly occurring. We feel that access to the tools and resources is imperative in each student’s education. We envision a learning environment where technology is a part of us, not apart from us.

CCPS Social Media Resources - https://www.collierschools.com/Page/6767

Cell Phones School Board policy states that student possession of cellular phones and other electronic devices on school grounds and school buses is a privilege for communication with parents/guardians, law enforcement, or under the direction of the teacher as part of the BYOD initiative. In order to preserve the proper educational environment and prevent disturbances, cellular phones and electronic devices are to be turned off and concealed from view from the time the school day officially begins until dismissal.

Cafeteria Program Menus for breakfast and lunch are published in advance on the Collier County School’s website. It is recommended that meals be paid for in advance on Monday mornings. CCPS is excited to offer MySchoolBucks®! This online payment service provides a quick and easy way to add money to your student’s meal account using a credit/debit card or electronic check. Go to www.MySchoolBucks.com or download the mobile app and register for a free account.

Breakfast – Is served daily from 7:45 AM to 8:15 AM. Students who need to eat breakfast must go to the cafeteria first upon their arrival at school. Students choosing to eat breakfast at school will not be charged. Lunch - Hot lunch will be served daily. Families may pay for lunches with cash, checks, or utilizing the online pay option. If paying by check please make checks payable to “School Food Services” and place the check in an envelope marked with your child’s name, student number, teacher, date, and amount. Bag Lunch - If students elect to bring lunches from home, they should try to include all necessary items (spoons, napkins, etc.). Milk and water may be purchased in the cafeteria. Glass containers are not allowed. “Snap top” cans are often difficult for youngsters to open and are dangerous. Therefore, please use plastic containers for drinks and or food. Please help us to help our students make healthy choices in their lunches and do not include soda or candy in their lunch boxes.

Nutrition Services - https://www.collierschools.com/Page/241

Cafeteria Charges The cafeteria is required by law to balance its books daily. This means no charges for lunch will be permitted without prior approval from the principal. In the event of an account not having money to purchase lunch, students will be permitted to charge eight lunches. Parents will be contacted to inform them of lunch charges by phone, email and debit letters sent home a minimum of once a week in their child’s backpack. We recommend that the parent not reach their limit and to let us know if they are struggling with this and let us help them to apply or reapply for reduced or free meals. The Nutrition Department is implementing “MySchoolApps.com“ for the parents to easily apply online. https://www.myschoolapps.com/

Lunch with your Child Parents are welcome to enjoy lunch with their child. Please follow our sign-in procedures by entering through the main office. For security reasons, parents may only eat with their child at the family table, in the café or outside in the picnic area. Food items are not permitted to be brought to share with other students.

Social-Emotional and Mental Health Supports o Continuation of CCPS 5 Social Emotional Learning (SEL) priorities will include strategies and a toolkit for coping

with loss, change, and challenges o Professional development for educators will be provided in trauma-induced care, self-care, and strengthening

classroom communities (on campus and virtually) o CCPS will continue to work with the Collier County Mental Health Workgroup in order to meet the needs of

students and families

Character Education The District School Board of Collier County, in partnership with the home and community, has a critical role to play in helping our youth develop into responsible citizens. Character education prepares our youth to address life’s moral and ethical problems. Students develop character through interaction with family, peers, teachers, and community members. A person of character is a good person, someone to look up to and admire, knows

the difference between right and wrong and always tries to do what is right. It is our goal that all CES Bears internalize these traits and make them part of their daily lives.

Classroom Celebrations Collier County School District’s Wellness Policy 8510 guides our four yearly classroom celebrations. Parents wishing to provide party food/drink are asked to coordinate with the classroom teacher and/or the classroom parent prior to the event. Refreshments provided to classrooms must be store bought. Classrooms that contain students with documented allergies may have additional restrictions regarding the types of foods permitted. The health and safety of all students is our top priority.

Birthdays Birthday celebrations are special for all students, and each classroom teacher acknowledges a student’s birthday in various ways. In all cases, children are recognized at school on their special day. If you wish to send in an item for your child’s birthday, you may send in a B-fit food item for the class or non-food item that will be shared/passed out at the end of the school day. Please refer to the below link to the CCPS B-fit policy for healthy birthday snack that can be shared. Some non-food items include: a colorful pencil, eraser top, stickers, bookmarks, or a small novelty item. Distributing party invitations at school will only be permitted if there is an invitation for all students in the classroom, or all girls, or all boys. CCPS Bfit Policy - https://www.collierschools.com/Page/791

Classroom Placement Corkscrew Elementary administration and staff will carefully consider all aspects of academic data, social development, and students’ unique needs as placement criteria. Because we believe that parents are important partners in the education process and provide valuable input, those who desire to share additional information about their child, but not specific teacher name, may do so. Each spring, families will be notified of the parent input process and have a timeframe to submit their input for the upcoming school year.

Communication Folders/Wednesday Folders Each Wednesday, Communication folders will be sent home with students. These folders will contain important Collier County Public School and CES school information. This is a great opportunity for families to discuss upcoming school and district events.

Conferences All meetings will be conducted using virtual format for at least Semester 1 of the 2020-2021 SY. We encourage communication between home and school. If you have any questions, concerns or wish to discuss your child’s progress, please email or call the voicemail of your child’s teacher. For your convenience, be sure to schedule meetings in advance to ensure the availability of your child’s teacher. Teachers’ work hours are from 7:40 AM to 3:10 PM. Student arrival and dismissal times require our teachers’ full attention. They are unable to adequately meet with you at these times.

Audio Enhancement Microphone

o Every District classroom is equipped with an Audio Enhancement microphone and sound system o Provides enhanced volume, clarity, and projection of a teacher's voice and computer sound o With students/teachers wearing masks, a microphone/sound system is especially important to ensure students

can clearly hear their teacher o Provides equity of projection of a teacher's voice to all students throughout the classroom.

Page 12: Corkscrew Elementary School Student-Parent Handbook 2020-2021 · 8/11/2020  · Student-Parent Handbook 2020-2021 . Corkscrew Elementary School 1065 County Road 858 . Naples, FL 34120

The following will be provided:

o Students - two (2) washable face coverings o Staff - three (3) washable face coverings

The following will be provided: o Students - one (1) pair of safety glasses o Staff - one (1) pair of safety glasses

The policy printed in its entirety is as follows: Policy Changes School Board policies 5511 (Student Dress and Grooming) and 3216 (Staff Dress and Grooming) have been revised to include criteria for wearing protective gear such as face coverings and safety glasses during health emergencies, including situations involving pandemic and infectious diseases. The Code of Student Conduct is applicable regarding student accountability. 5511 - STUDENT DRESS AND GROOMING The School Board recognizes that each student's mode of dress and grooming is a manifestation of personal style and individual preference. The Board will not interfere with the right of students and their parents to make decisions regarding their appearance, except when their choices interfere with the educational program of the schools. The Board authorizes the Superintendent to establish a dress code in order to promote a safe and healthy school setting and enhance the educational environment. Where the District is confronted with a health emergency, including pandemic and infectious disease situations, which might require or warrant the wearing of protective masks, shields, glasses or other coverings pursuant to guidelines and/or directives issued by the Federal Centers for Disease Control and /or the State of Florida Department of Health ("FDH"), including those issued by the FDH of Collier County, shall be considered. While the protective items may have varying colors, patterns, designs, and/or District, school, or college/university logos on them, students shall not put on them markings, writings, depictions of any sort or kind. The purpose of the referenced protective items is for medical and health reasons only and may not serve as a forum or billboard for student expression. With the foregoing limitations in mind, and in accordance with the free expression and related provisions set forth in the Code of Student Conduct, it is recognized that students have a right to express their views on political, social, economic, religious, and aesthetic issues provided, they are not disruptive to the school and learning environment. This includes expressing one's views on a t-shirt, for example. The discussion of controversial issues should be encouraged during classroom instruction as appropriate and in conformity with Board Policy 2240 which is incorporated by reference herein. The provisions of this dress code policy are incorporated into the Code of Student Conduct and made a part thereof. Revised 8/11/20

RULE 11. DRESS AND GROOMING CODE Students and parents need to be aware of the importance of good grooming and its effect upon the learning environment. Good taste is knowing where and when to wear the appropriate clothing and accessories. Since the home provides the funds, guidance, and upkeep of the student's clothing worn in school, it is the responsibility of the parent to see that grooming reflects the modesty and good taste expected in school. The following dress and grooming requirements are to be followed by all students as may be reasonably determined by the Principal (designee). Other requirements may be made to avoid disruption of the

Page 13: Corkscrew Elementary School Student-Parent Handbook 2020-2021 · 8/11/2020  · Student-Parent Handbook 2020-2021 . Corkscrew Elementary School 1065 County Road 858 . Naples, FL 34120

educational process. 1. Safe footwear shall be worn at all times. No rubber flip-flops or bedroom slippers shall be worn. 2. Halter-tops, tube tops, short shorts, muscle shirts, midriff or backless shirts and blouses shall not be

worn. Shoulder coverings must be at least two inches in width. Tops must be three inches below the waistband or remain tucked in so that the midriff area is not exposed. No bare skin should be exposed at the waist or abdomen area. Clothing must cover the chest area to ensure that cleavage is not exposed (See examples).

3. Hair shall be clean and neatly groomed. Hair color and style shall not interfere with the educational process in the reasonable discretion of the Principal or designee.

4. Intentionally altered clothing or unbuttoned and ill-fitted garments are not acceptable. Ill-fitted garments include, but are not limited to, garments that are too small so as to reflect immodesty or too large so as to appear to be falling off the body. Transparent, mesh, or see-through clothing may not be worn without other appropriate clothing underneath.

5. Clothing shall be free of inflammatory, suggestive, or other inappropriate writing, advertisement, or artwork.

6. The wearing or display of flags on our campuses has historically and currently caused dissension, along with a potentially unsafe and hostile learning environment for our students. In an effort to provide safe schools and prevent potential disruption, the following flags are the only ones that may be displayed and/or worn on Collier County Public Schools campuses and at off campus school-related activities: (1) the United States and POW/MIA flags; (2) the State of Florida flag; and (3) official school flags. In addition, any related symbols may not be displayed or worn on campus and at off campus school-related activities. Exceptions to this rule may be made for national flags on special occasions or in designated areas consistent with the learning objectives of the district and at the discretion of the Principal.

7. Body adornment (i.e., adornments which pierce flesh) in any visible body part other than the ears shall not be displayed if such display presents a health or safety issue or if such adornment interferes with the educational process in the reasonable discretion of the Principal or designee.

8. The length of skirts/dresses and shorts shall reflect modesty and good taste and be monitored by regulations enforced at each school. If a student’s fingertips touch skin when the arms are held straight at the sides, then the clothing item is too short and may not be worn.

9. Costumes, sleepwear, or other clothing/adornment that creates a distraction is not permitted. 10. Shorts/pants must be fitted or cinched so as not to slip. 11. Gang clothing, symbols, or other items associated with gangs may not be worn, displayed, or carried.

Health Information Parents are requested to notify the school of any child’s absence by calling the school on the day of the absence at 377-6500 before 9:00 AM. Facilities for emergency care in school are very limited. Arrangements for taking your child home should be made promptly. Regarding communicable disease, only a physician or a nurse from the Collier County Health Department can certify that a child is free of a communicable disease. We can only call the parent and request that the child be kept home until an official clearance in writing has been obtained. We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.

WHEN SHOULD STUDENTS STAY HOME (click here for the COVID-19 Student Health Screener) Student Sickness - if your child has any of the following symptoms

o fever o cough o shortness of breath or difficulty breathing o chills or repeated shaking with chills o muscle pain o headache o sore throat o unidentified rash o congestion or runny nose o nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea o new loss of taste or smell

Children who have a temperature of 100 degrees or higher should be monitored at home for other signs or symptoms of illness until fever free for 24 hours. A child’s ability to perform in school is diminished if he or she does not feel well. If your child has repeated episodes of diarrhea or vomiting, a rash or general weakness, please consult with your health care provider and keep your child at home until the illness passes or your doctor recommends the child return to school. If a serious illness or injury occurs, the parent will be notified immediately, and the Principal may call Emergency Medical Services or take the student to an emergency care facility. Medical treatment will require parental permission. In a case where the legal guardian cannot be reached, the Principal may make any emergency medical decisions if the injury is life threatening.

Health services are an important part of a student’s total school program. School health staff promotes academic success by helping to ensure that students are healthy and ready to learn. School nurses and school health assistants help students manage chronic health conditions, identify and follow-up on suspected health problems, manage illnesses and injuries, monitor immunization and physical examination documentation, and serve as a resource for health and wellness information. To help protect the health of all students, parents are asked to follow the guidelines below.

CCPS Health Resources - https://www.collierschools.com/HealthServices PREVENTATIVE MEASURES Handwashing and Hand Sanitizing Handwashing and hand sanitizing time will be built into the schedule during transitions

o Entry to school (from car/bus) o Elementary transition between class/recess and recess/class/lunch o After use of restroom o Before leaving the classroom for the day/dismissal

Hand sanitizing stations will be placed in high traffic areas (building entrances, cafeterias, media centers) Preventative supplies (hand soap, sanitizer, and general-purpose cleaner) will be provided in each classroom, educational space, and common areas

Page 16: Corkscrew Elementary School Student-Parent Handbook 2020-2021 · 8/11/2020  · Student-Parent Handbook 2020-2021 . Corkscrew Elementary School 1065 County Road 858 . Naples, FL 34120

Social Distancing Reminders Signage will be placed throughout each campus as a reminder to practice social distancing. Signs will be placed in the following areas:

o Video doorbells: school entrance, receiving, childcare entrance

o Front office/main lobby o Hallway bathrooms o Guidance office o Food lines o Bus lineup areas o Car line areas o Media Center check out area o Areas that do not have assigned seating areas such as

music rooms, gyms or PE pavilions, multipurpose rooms, or auditoriums without seating

Medication Whenever possible, medications should be given at home. However, if it is necessary for your child to receive a medication at school, the parent must bring the medication to school in the original container, complete, and sign a Medication Authorization Form. If a prescription medication is required at school, the prescribing doctor must also complete and sign the Authorization. This form is located on the District website or can be obtained from our school nurse. Medications are kept in the school clinic. Students may not carry medications at school except in very specific situations which require the written approval of the physician, parent, and school nurse. If your child has a health condition that requires medication or treatment, please contact the school nurse. Parents are also required to pick up unused medication. At the end of the year, any unused medication that has not been picked up by a parent will be disposed.

Head Lice

Instances of head lice and nits (eggs) are not uncommon in the elementary school. Parents are called to take home those children who have infestations. These children cannot return to the classroom until the parents have successfully treated the problem. Verification of treatment must be provided to the office, and your child’s hair and scalp will be examined for nits before he/she may reenter the classroom. Re-infestation may occur if only one viable nit remains on the hair shaft. Head lice, often spread by direct head to head contact outside of school, are most commonly found in young children. Head lice and nits (eggs) do not transmit disease and are not a significant health hazard. The Collier County Public Schools’ procedure regarding management of head lice is based on recommendations from the American Academy of Pediatrics, the National Association of School Nurses and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

Immunization & Health Certificate

Florida law requires all students enrolled in school to have on file evidence of a physical examination conducted within the twelve-(12) month period immediately preceding enrollment and an immunization certificate. The updated immunization certificate should be provided prior to the start of school each year. The Collier County HRS Public Health Unit will give free immunizations to all children. Please check with our office staff to find the nearest location that can assist you in this area.

Use of Sunscreen in Elementary Schools:

• Students should apply sunscreen, if desired, before and after school • If a parent wishes his/her child to apply sunscreen during the school day or during school

sponsored events, the parent must provide the sunscreen which must be:

Page 17: Corkscrew Elementary School Student-Parent Handbook 2020-2021 · 8/11/2020  · Student-Parent Handbook 2020-2021 . Corkscrew Elementary School 1065 County Road 858 . Naples, FL 34120

• approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for over-the counter use to limit ultraviolet light-induced skin damage.

• in a lotion, cream or wipe preparation - use of aerosol or spray preparations are not permitted

• labeled with the student’s name, ID number, grade and teacher • It is the parent’s responsibility to instruct the child in the proper use and application of

sunscreen • Classroom teacher may maintain individually labeled sunscreens in a basket or other

receptacle • Individual plans will be developed for students that are unable to safely and properly apply

sunscreen independently. Emergency Cards We will send home an emergency card requesting that you provide information important to your child. This card will remain on file should it be necessary to contact you. It is imperative that you inform the office of any changes in address, phone numbers, or emergency contact throughout the school year. Should an accident or illness occur, we must have accurate information in order to contact you promptly. EMS (Emergency Medical Services) will be contacted for serious emergencies. Custody concerns must be clearly indicated and legal documentation provided. At the top of the emergency card, there are three choices for dismissal. Please clearly mark how your child will get home.

CCPS Portal Make sure your contact information is up to date! By visiting the CCPS Portal, parents can update their contact information, choose their communication preferences, choose to receive text messages from their school and the District, and verify important information.

Homework Homework demands will vary according to grade level. For specific information, please contact your child’s teacher. You should also contact the teacher if your child seems to spend an inordinate amount of time on homework. In order to assure that grades clearly reflect the student's performance and mastery of standards, homework is not to be a factor in any of the academic area grades in grades K-5.

It is the policy of the School Board that homework is an integral part of a successful educational experience. Not only does homework reinforce learning through the practice, application, integration, and/or extension of knowledge and skills, but it also serves to develop the study skills and sense of responsibility that will enable students to become independent learners.

• Corkscrew Elementary maintains a consistent homework policy where a variety of opportunities exist for children to independently, or with parental assistance, complete homework. Regular homework assignments will begin in Kindergarten and will continue to increase in length and complexity through the fifth grade. These assignments are intended to reinforce academic skills that were taught during the day, to provide an additional drill in areas that are weak, and to develop a sense of responsibility in the child.

• Homework assignments will be reasonable, purposeful, and meaningful for the student. Because of varying teacher expectations and an awareness that each child works at a different pace, there is no predetermined amount of time to be spent on homework at each grade level. However, if a child frequently spends more time on homework than the parent deems reasonable, a conference with the teacher is recommended to determine if part of the homework is unfinished class work and/or if study skills and work habits need to be improved.

Leader in Me We believe that every student at CES should be provided with the opportunity to shine in a “Leadership Role” within their classroom and throughout the school environment. Our school’s vision of “Growing Leaders One Habit at a Time” is the heart of our school’s mission of ensuring high levels of performance for all students. It is our job as the developers of leaders to find what each child at CES is passionate about and to help them showcase that passion in the form of leadership. This commitment is not just for those students that perform well academically, complete their homework or behave in school, it is intended for every student in our school. We believe that children do not earn the right to a leadership role, but rather they are entitled to it simply because they are a student in our school. Please open the links below for additional information on “Leader in Me”.

The Leader in Me Appendix - The Leader in Me Publisher Document

Lost & Found Please label your child’s lunch box, jackets, sweaters, and sweatshirts with their name. Many such articles are lost and unclaimed.

Appendix - B-Fit Information Collier County Public Schools & Corkscrew Elementary Classroom Celebrations Per Federal and State requirements, Collier County Schools has created the B-Fit Nutrition Program. This Wellness Policy is Board approved and reviewed annually. In the best interest of ourstudents, Corkscrew Elementary School will be embracing this Policy and working toward healthy school celebrations.

Focusing on students rather than the food… Celebrating birthdays and other special occasions in the classroom is fun and provides a great way to teach students about healthy eating. While a child’s birthday comes only once a year, multiply that by the 20+ students in a class, then add parties for Halloween, Valentine’s Day, and other holidays year round and you have a routine flow of celebrations which could involve potentially unhealthy food choices. The occasional treat is okay, but we want to work together as a school district and with parents to ensure students participate in healthy celebrations at school, reducing the exposure to high-fat, high- sugar, low nutrient treats.

Healthy alternatives for celebrations There are many non-food alternatives for celebrations that our students enjoy just as much as cupcakes and cookies, but if you choose to send food please refer to the list to the right as a healthy start to options and ideas. Teachers also appreciate if you let them know in advance that you will be sending in a treat. Below are additional ideas that are fun for students and won’t distract from our healthy learning environment.

• Stickers

• Pencils

• Erasers

• Bookmarks

• Donate your child’s favorite book to the classroom library to be shared with the class.

Consistent Messages - Providing healthy classroom celebrations demonstrates a school commitment to promoting healthy eating habits. It supports the classroom lessons students are learning about health, instead of contradicting them. Healthy celebrations promote positive lifestyle choices to reduce student health risks and improve learning. Thank you for your continued support! Please check the district website for healthier habits http://www.collierschools.com/wellness/
