Visitor’s Procedure - Upon arriving on campus, all visitors, parents/legal guardians must sign in at the main

office before proceeding to other areas on campus. Parent/legal guardians are encouraged to visit the school

to meet and confer with their child’s teacher, staff or the principal on matters concerning their children.

Parents/guardians are always welcome, and we recommend an appointment be made with the teacher in

advance. This ensures the conference will occur at a time when it’s convenient to both teacher and parent.

Visiting middle and high school students are not allowed in the classroom unless approval is obtained from the

principal.

Unauthorized Entry-“Any person found on a school campus without permission of the school administrators

shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and is punishable by imprisonment not exceeding thirty (30) days or a fine not

exceeding three hundred dollars ($300.00) or both.” (GCA Section 11503)

Student release – Student(s) leaving campus prior to the end of the day must be checked out at the main office

by the parent/legal guardian. NO phone calls will be entertained requesting for student(s) to be waiting in the

office. NO student will be released to any person that is not listed on the student emergency information sheet.

Proper identification is required-(Driver’s license or /Passport or Guam ID)

Attendance

We encourage regular and prompt attendance from our students. Please support your child by ensuring that

your child is at school ready to learn by 8:00 a.m. When your child is unable to attend school for a day or two,

send a note to school. The student must report to school with a written note from their parent explaining the

absence. If your child is absent three (3) or more consecutive days, he or she must present written certification

from a physician. (See attendance policy for more details)

Tardy- Students not in their classroom by 8:00 a.m. are considered tardy. The teacher will mark ““TT””

((TTaarrddyy)) on their attendance for students that are not in their classroom by 8:00 a.m. Students shall report to the office to obtain a tardy pass before going to class. Please keep in mind that tardiness is disruptive to the classroom instruction. The following are considered excused tardy: Lack of bus transportation (bus rider only), Doctor’s appointment and approved School Activity in/out of school. Excessive pattern of tardiness will be referred to the administration for attendance referral.

Withdrawal – Three “3” day process. If you plan to withdraw your children, please notify the school to prepare

documents. These documents may be picked up on the last day of attendance. Parent/legal guardian(s) will be

notified of any lost books, equipment or debts from the student.

Pre-arranged absence/Off-Island Absences Unless it is an extreme circumstance, all pre-arranged absences should be requested at least ten (10) days in

advance. A Pre-arranged absence form must be completed by the parent/legal guardian. The form is used to

inform the teacher the extent of the absence and allows time to plan for homework/make-up work to do while

out of school. This allows the student to keep up with activities in the classroom.

The Student Discipline Procedures of the Department of Education state that schools will generally excuse off-island absences for up to 10 days if they have the prior approval of a school administrator. Any pre-arranged absences will be required to submit documentation as required by the school administrators. Consequently, school administrators are under no obligation to excuse off-island absences if such approval is sought after the off-island absence occurred.

Change of address or phone number – Please let us know if you have changed your address or phone number.

Updating addresses and phone numbers is important to us. The safety of your child may depend on how

quickly we can contact/communicate with you. If you have moved to another attendance area, please let us

know. It is important that your children be enrolled at the school in their attendance area.

DISCIPLINE PHILOSOPHY STATEMENT The primary objective of school discipline is to maintain a safe and orderly environment that positively affects

academic achievement. Discipline provides an opportunity for students to understand that inappropriate

behavior results in appropriate consequences. These consequences are designed to keep the students

academically involved. Exclusion from learning opportunities is a final disciplinary option. We believe it is

imperative to provide students with feedback for their disruptive behavior and allow for positive behavior

intervention to avoid future incidents of behavior.

4. Party, fiesta, or rosary preparations

5. Missed the bus

Unexcused Absences- When a student accumulates twelve (12) unexcused absences

he/she falls under the compulsory attendance law and the teacher will refer the

student for truancy referral for further disciplinary actions.

Consequences for unexcused absences include mandatory parent conferences, work

detail, referral to counselor, attendance monitor, and/or referral to the Truant Officer.

Attendance Area Board Policy 318 defines students’ attendance areas as being where:

a. Their parents live b. Their guardians (defined as a an adult other than a

parent who has been lawfully invested with the power, and charged with the duty, of taking care of a child, as evidenced by a court order) live if the guardians are not the parents or

c. The adults who are caring for them live if their parents or guardians are not on-island. Note that where students live has nothing to do with their attendance areas. In other words, the attendance area of students is determined by where their parents/guardian/caretakers live, even if the students are not living with their parents/guardians/ caretakers live.

COMMUNICATION

Communication between the home and school is an essential part of the elementary program.

You are encouraged to contact your child’s teacher, principal or any specialist if you have

questions, concerns, or compliments about your child’s progress in school. There are a

number of ways for parents to receive information about their child’s progress and school.

• New Student Registration- All students must provide “Immunization Records” either from their physician or from their previous school. New/kindergarten students are required to have their physical exam, updated shot records, Mayor’s verification, birth certificate and social security card completed and presented to the school at the time of the registration.

• Back to School Night/Open House is a time set aside for the month of August or September for parents to visit their child’s school and meet with teachers. Curriculum, grading practices, homework policies and general expectations are explained by each teacher. This is not a time for individual parent / teacher conferences.

• Parent / Teacher Conferences provide opportunities for teachers to share information with parents about their child’s progress in school. The parent / teacher conference is an important means of reporting to parents and guardians. These conferences are scheduled in the fall and spring of the year. Additional conferences may be held at the request of the parent or teacher anytime during the year. Some teachers conduct Student-Led Parent / Teacher Conferences.

Email / Telephone contact is encouraged. Messages can be left during the day. Parents are

encouraged to utilize email as well. Please contact your child’s teacher and/or principal for their email address and/or phone number.

• Newsletters from the school are sent home with students on a monthly basis to provide timely information about school, classroom and district activities. Parents may view or download the newsletter from our school website: http://upielementaryschool.weebly.com/

• Parent Council Groups (also known as PTA / PTO / PTSA) are established in each school to provide valuable support and service to students and staff. Parents are encouraged to become active members. • School Improvement Plans (SIP) are developed in each school every year. Each plan outlines goals and methods for improving student achievement. A school community report based on the School Improvement Plan is shared with the parents each year. • School District Web Site at http://www.gdoe.net/provides general information about the District and its programs as well as current news items. Each individual school has a section on the district web site that has information pertaining to that school. Check out our school website for weekly updates at http://upielementaryschool.weebly.com/ or http://www.facebook.com/upielementary • Student Awards: Students are recognized quarterly or by semester if they meet the criteria for academic and behavioral expectations. The following are the list of awards: A Honor Roll, B Honor Roll, Honorable Mention, Citizenship Award, Most Improved, & Perfect Attendance.

INFORMATION FOR FACULTY

SCHOOL MANAGEMENT – SOP

COPYING:

respective preparatory period. It is highly recommended to schedule certain days amongst your grade level

colleagues to prevent the machine from overheating. So please ensure proper planning and effective time management.

Each teacher will be given an access code to use the machine. The code identifies you as the user and counts the number

of copies made. Please ensure that only you have access to your code. In the event that the teacher’s Xerox machine is not

functional, teachers may request for copies from the main office at least 24 hours in advance.

REQUESTING ADOPTED TEXT AND EQUIPMENT:
