Welcome Back!

Welcome back to all of our Poston Road families. If

you are new to Poston Road, I hope you have found

that Poston Road Elementary is a warm and friendly

environment filled with excellent staff members,

families and students.

If you are visiting the building you will need to come to

the office and use our School Check-In system to sign

in and get a name tag.

If you want to eat lunch with your child or volunteer in

the classroom, you must have a completed background

check on file. In order to do that you will need to stop

by the office to fill out the form. New this year, we

will also need a copy of your driver license or state

issued ID. Background checks are only good for one

school year.

If your student is going to be

absent, please call Poston Road’s

Office at 342-8408, Ext. 0. Please

do not send a message via Class

DOJO to report an absence. Thank

you.

We will be using Class Dojo as

our school-wide behavior

management system again this

year. You can check it out at:

www.classdojo.com

Arrival Procedures

New School Hours are

8:40-3:40.

Doors open at 8:25.

Breakfast is offered to all

of our students free of

charge.

We do not have staff to

supervise students before

the doors open at 8:25.

Please do not drop off your

children early.

Thank You,

Mrs. Jill Vlcan

Principal

Appropriate Clothing

We consider proper dress to mean: For girls: dresses, slacks, jeans or shorts. For boys:

slacks, jeans or shorts. We encourage students to look neat in their dress. The way we dress is

the way we act. Short shorts, halter-tops and net shirts are not permissible. Shoes should be

appropriate for safety and comfort. Please make sure that shirts and tops with (sayings) printed

on them are in good taste. No alcohol, drug, gang symbols, satanic symbols, inappropriate

language or pictures permitted. Any attire that disrupts the educational process such as

clothing that does not fit appropriately, underwear exposed, spaghetti straps, midriff showing

and hats in the building are not permitted. Hip hops or low riding pants are not appropriately.

Flip Flops: Due to several students’ injuries, our corporation has decided that flip flops will

NOT be allowed on the playground. If your child wears flip flops to school, they must have a

pair of tennis shoes to change into for recess. If they do not, your child will not be allowed

outside for recess that day. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
