Before School-Drop Off Times
Drop Off/Pick Up Procedures
Curbside drop off and pick up is in the lower lot. Please enter the south road from Heron Drive and follow traffic. Wait in your vehicle and students will load/unload curbside. Please do not skip ahead in the line or pull out in front of the line as this can be dangerous for students and for other drivers.
- Please travel at a slow, safe speed in the upper and lower parking lots.
The curbside lane in the upper lot is reserved for buses only. Should you need to enter the building, use the upper lot to park.
Students who walk or ride their bike will be dismissed from the lower doors at the rear of the building and will utilize the walking path.
Please make sure your child knows how they will be getting home each day. Inform your child’s teacher or the school office if there is a change in your family’s plan.
We are committed to keeping Rosa Parks students, families, and staff safe. Thank you for your cooperation!
Vision and Hearing Screening-October 15, 2018
Rosa Parks Vision/Hearing Screen date is October 15, 2018
Each fall Health Services conduct Vision and Hearing screenings for students. Students in grades 1, 3, 4, & 5 will have a vision screening and students in grades 1, 2, 3, 5 will have a hearing screening. Teachers or parents are always welcome to ask for screenings to be performed on specific students if there is a concern.
Impaired vision or hearing in children can contribute to the development of learning problems which may be prevented or alleviated through early identification and intervention.
Children with impaired vision often are not aware of their impairment; therefore, they do not complain or seek help. If they have always seen things in a blurred or distorted way, they accept the imperfect image without question. Children learn speech and language from listening to other people talk. If a hearing loss exists, a child does not get the full benefit of language learning experiences. With prompt referral and follow-up, children have an opportunity to receive appropriate, timely care and services, which lead to better health and educational outcomes.
If your child does not pass the vision and hearing, the parent will be notified with a referral letter. We, in Health Services, follow up on our referrals so we appreciate parents letting us know when the referral exam was completed and the results.
Schoolwide Title 1
Rosa Parks is a Schoolwide Title 1 School. In the past, Title 1funds were available to
provide additional support to students who qualified based on their test scores. As a Schoolwide Title 1 school we are now able to utilize those resources more flexibly to support any students that would benefit. This fits wonderfully with our WIN (What I
Need) time, which is a half hour each day when students receive acceleration or enrichment based on their specific needs. Information on our Schoolwide Title 1 plan is available on the Rosa Parks website. Feel free to contact the school if you have
questions.
