Changing plans after school In order to ensure the safety of our students we must strictly adhere to the handbook policy for changing the dismissal of a student. The policy states: For the safety of your children, we ask that you request any changes in transportation in PERSON or send a NOTE to the school for his/her teacher. We will accept emails to the office (before 2:00 pm) for emergency situations. The office will no longer accept phone calls changing student’s routines for dismissal. Early Release of Students If your student has an appointment or is being picked up during the school day, the appropriate procedure is to come to the school office and sign your student out. The office will call your student out of class to the office when parents are present to sign them out. The office cannot call students down beforehand. Notification of PCS for students Please notify the office if you are PCSing. If you do not have a final day of attendance but know the time frame of the PCS please let us know anyway as soon as possible, so we can add your child/ren to the departure list, inform teachers, and start the preparation process. We will however eventually need a copy of the sponsor’s PCS orders and an actual final date of attendance. A complete set of your children’s records will be prepared for hand carrying. Records will need to be signed for and picked up by parents on that final day of attendance between 1200-1600.

Revised Sure Start Application-February 2014

SURE START APPLICATION

Dear Parent(s),

Thank you for your interest in our school’s Sure Start program. Sure Start is an early intervention program for families in our school community with priority given to children whose sponsor’s rank is in the E1 to E4 or GS1 to GS4 or *Non Appropriated Fund (NAF), NAF1 or NAF2 range, living and working at military installations overseas. Any sponsor whose rank is E5 to E9 or GS5 to GS9 or NAF3 - NAF4, rank equivalent*, who wishes to apply for the program, is eligible to do so – with the understanding that priority is given to students whose sponsor is the first eligibility category. The Sure Start Advisory Committee, comprised of school and community members, reviews applications for enrollment. Priority in selecting 18 children to enroll in the program is given to dependents in the first category. Children must be four years of age by 1 September in the school year in which they enroll.

Prioritization of Sure Start Income Eligibility

RANK PRIORITY

E1–E4, GS1–GS4 or NAF 1-NAF 2, rank equivalent First Priority

E5–E6, GS5–GS6 or NAF 3, rank equivalent Second Priority

E7–E9 or GS7–GS9 or NAF 3-4, rank equivalent Third Priority *NAF Rank Equivalent: The non-appropriated fund rank is used to determine Sure Start eligibility for the dependents of NAF employees. The NAF employee rank uses different banding levels than its counterparts (i.e. Enlisted (E) service members or General Schedule (GS) civilian employees.) In order to determine the priority order for enrollment in the Sure Start Program, the NAF employee rank must be at level which is equivalent to the enlisted service member and General GS civilian employee.

Sure Start views parent participation as integral to the success of the program. Parents must agree to volunteer their time as a precondition to their child’s enrollment. Thirty hours per parent is required for each participating family. Both parents in two-parent families are expected to contribute their time equally. Parents who are deployed for an extended period of time are still expected to volunteer, but will have a modified schedule during the time of deployment. Sure Start offers a comprehensive approach to early childhood education that involves both children and families. The Sure Start program is dedicated to providing comprehensive services in the areas of education, health, social services, and family involvement. Please complete the following questions and discuss your answers with the school principal or office secretary, if necessary. They will advise you whether or not you should complete the application. 1. Will your child be four years old by 1 September of the school year in which you hope to enroll your child in Sure Start?

______________

2. Is this the school your child would be eligible to attend if he/she were school age? _____________ 3. What is the sponsor’s rank? _______ (The sponsor is required to show proof of sponsorship (e.g., military orders) and

proof of current rank (e.g., pay stub). The proof of current rank must be dated within one month of the application date).

SURE START APPLICATION (This form is subject to the Privacy Act of 1974.)

PRIVACY ACT STATEMENT

AUTHORITY: Title 20 United States Code, §§ 921 - 932; Title 10 United States Code § 2164, DoD Directive 1342.20,

“Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA),” October 19, 2007) PRINCIPAL PURPOSE: To establish eligibility to enroll in

DoDEA Sure Start programs.

ROUTINE USE(S): In addition to the disclosures within DoD generally permitted under 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(1) of the Privacy Act, this record or information contained herein may be disclosed outside the DoD as a routine use pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(3) and the DoD Blanket Routine Uses, described at the beginning of the Office of the Secretary, DoD/Joint Staff compilation of systems of records notices, located at: http://www.defenselink.mil/privacy/notices/osd/.

DISCLOSURE. Furnishing the information collected by this form is voluntary. Failure to furnish the information collected by this form may delay or prevent the enrollment of a child in the DoDEA Sure Start program.

PROGRAM STATEMENT: The Sure Start program is based on the successful Head Start program implemented for those children needing more time and attention to achieve school readiness.

PARENT RESPONSIBILITIES: The Sure Start Program consists of four components. The Educational Component is designed to meet the individual needs of the children enrolled. A developmental screening will be provided for all Sure Start students. Medical and dental screenings are required for students and will be completed under the Health Component. The Social Service Component will deal with improving the conditions and qualities of family life. The Parent Component formalizes the parental role in the education of their child(ren). Therefore, dual parents need to volunteer in the classroom the equivalent of 10 days per year (60 hours) and single parents need to volunteer the equivalent of 5 days per year (30 hours) as a condition of enrollment and have two to three home visits by the Sure Start Program. Immunizations, along with other required documentation for DoDDS registration, are necessary for enrollment.

QUALIFICATIONS: All Sure Start students must be command sponsored. In order to keep this program consistent with DoDDS kindergarten enrollment dates, 4 year-olds considered for Sure Start must have a birth date on or before September 1 of that school year. Four year olds whose sponsor is equivalent of E9 and below may apply for enrollment in Sure Start. Priority will be given to students whose sponsor’s rank is E1 to E4 or GS 1 to GS4 or *NAF rank equivalents. Considerations for enrollment include one or more of the following conditions:

Child in a family with E1 to E4 or GS1 to GS4, General Schedule, or Non Appropriated Fund (NAF), NAF1- NAF2, rank equivalent – FIRST PRIORITY;

E5 to E6 or GS5 to GS6 or NAF 3, rank equivalents, SECOND PRIORITY

Students enrolled in the Sure Start Program are selected by the Sure Start Advisory Committee, which includes school and

base services personnel. For more information, please call the school your child is eligible to attend and find out where the nearest Sure Start program is located.

Please complete the application and turn it in to the Sure Start site that your child will be eligible to attend. *NAF Rank Equivalent: The non-appropriated fund rank is used to determine Sure Start eligibility for the dependents of NAF employees. The NAF employee rank uses different banding levels than its counterparts (i.e. Enlisted (E) service members or General Schedule (GS) civilian employees.) In order to determine the priority order for enrollment in the Sure Start Program, the NAF employee rank must be at level which is equivalent to the enlisted service member and General GS civilian employee.
