Thank you all for your patience and understanding as we kicked off the 2023-2024 school year. We apologize for any confusion or frustration bus routes may have caused. Last year, we implemented Stopfinder (the new bus GPS system) as a resource to help families. Invitations were sent to families of bus riders.

Please note, the invitation will go to the PRIMARY email address listed in Infinite Campus (only one contact). Once activated, the primary contact can share the link to register with other caregivers. We have shared instructions for how to share the bus schedule below or it can be found on our website.

It is important to download the mobile app as StopFinder will have the most up-to-date information regarding your child’s transportation.

Has your student received a minor? Have they received a major? These forms of behavior management are used for various offenses that can occur during the school day. Below is a guide to help you as the parent better understand what they are to help you support your student at home. If for any reason you are unsure or have any questions, please contact your child's teacher or Dr. Morris and Mr. Fabrikant.

What is a minor?

• Students have been taught what is expected at school in various settings. They are reviewed periodically throughout the year. We have visual reminders of our expectations displayed around school and Boosters three times a year as a school.

• A minor is a record of a behavior that is in violation of the Three B’s. It is a warning.

• Parents are notified either by email or by the teacher to help reteach the appropriate behavior at home.

• A student will receive a minor after he/she has been re-taught the appropriate behavior but continues the inappropriate behavior .

• If a student receives 3 minors within a month period, a Major will be issued.

What is a major?

• Major behaviors demonstrate a purposeful or serious disregard for expectations at Pleasant Hill. Some examples but not limited to are behaviors that can lead to injury, the safety of others and extreme disrespect towards students or staff.

• For a major offense students will be seen by administration.

• Consequences will be determined and given by administration.

• Parents will be notified by a school administrator when a major offense has been issued.

• Three minors equals one major. Staying in from lunch/recess and being retaught the appropriate behavior is a consequence that is issued but not limited to unless administration determines otherwise.

Doors Will Open at 8:18 each morning. For students in grades K-2, parking at Birchwood to walk your students to their door is encouraged.

Thank you for your support!

When visitors ring the doorbell at a school, the office staff will ask the visitor their name and the purpose of their visit. If the visitor is a parent or guardian that is just dropping off a forgotten lunch or homework assignment, etc. they will be asked to leave it on the "drop off" table in the vestibule.

Please remember to label the items you drop off with your child’s name and grade level/teacher to ease the delivery of the items.

We appreciate your support and understanding as we work together to keep our schools safe places for our staff, students, and visitors.

To help prevent the spread of illness, we would like to give you some guidelines to help with your decision on whether or not to send your child to school

We ask that you keep your child home if they:

• Have a fever of 100.4F or higher
• Have a sore throat with a fever
• Have diarrhea (3 or more episodes in 24 hours)
• Have abdominal cramps and/or vomiting
• Have a rash or open and draining sores

If your child has recently been ill, please be aware of the following guidelines before having your child return:

• Feel fit for at least 24 hours
• Be fever free for 24 hours without medication
• Be free of vomiting and/or diarrhea for at least 24 hours
• For strep throat, they must be on appropriate medication for at least 24 hours
• For conjunctivitis (pink eye), they must be on appropriate eye drops for at least 24 hours or cleared by physician
• Rash illness should be assessed by a doctor

If chicken pox suspected, keep home for at least 5 days after the appearance of the rash or until the blisters have scabbed over

The single most important thing you can do to keep your child free of illness is to teach them the proper way to wash their hands. Also, be sure they are dressed weather appropriate. Please notify the nurse if your child has a communicable illness (strep throat, influenza, lice, COVID, etc.), or any health concerns that need to be monitored at school.

Infinite Campus' Campus Parent is designed to provide parents real-time access to student information. The easy-to-use design displays what is currently happening in the classroom so you can understand, monitor, and participate in your child’s educational experience.

This portal also provides parents access to check for teacher placement and student schedules once their student is registered. District 15 has also used IC to gather parent survey responses. Make sure you have your account set up for the new school year! To learn how to set up your account, watch tutorials, or access a help center, please visit our website.
