• Follow all State traffic laws -(no passing in a no pass zone, no left turns (this is a City Ordinance, No blocking Rockwell as you turn into the parking lot)
• Please take turns pulling into the lot
• Children MUST exit on the curb side - This is a huge Safety issue
• Do NOT get out of your car, this slows all traffic
• 8:55 staff will go inside to start school. If you are still in line at that time, you will need to park and walk your child into the office.
• Pull up as close as you can to the car in front of you
• DO NOT pull away from the drop off zone until the STOP sign has been lowered. This is a HUGE SAFETY CONCERN
• If you have a student in Antler Care, please park in a parking space to pick up your child.

Birthday Invitations & Parties

Please do not hand out party invitations unless every child in the class is invited. Birthday parties at school are not allowed. Please do not have gifts, flowers, or balloons delivered to your child, at school, for special occasions. Transportation will not allow any gifts, flowers, or balloons on the bus after school.

**BIRTHDAY SNACKS - must be store bought and a simple bite size snack. Please do not send any other birthday type items (candles, balloons, favors, hats, etc.) as this is just a snack to honor the birthday child. Snack items are not allowed on the bus per transportation rules.

If your child has any lunch restrictions for any reason, please reach out to Nirali Mickow at our Administration office. We are not able to make any changes to what we serve without authorization from her. Nirali's email is: niralimickow@dcsok.org

I'm listing some of our menu items that include pork. If your child should not be eating pork, please advise him/her to choose the other lunch choice or pack a lunch for that day. You will find the link to our monthly menu towards the bottom of this email.

Please know that we have a lot of children that bring their lunch from home everyday, so your child will not feel singled out by bringing a lunch.

I'm hopeful this information is helpful, but if you need additional help, please contact Nirali.

In an effort to provide additional protection of students and staff, we have made District wide changes for visitors. However, we are excited to have volunteer help back in our buildings this year (with Background checks). Please see below for specific information.

• Visitors will not be allowed to eat lunch with students on campus. For special occasions, parents will be encouraged to check their children out for lunch and recess. This safety procedure is remaining in place in order to reduce the level of visitor traffic in the building.

• Families will be allowed to attend school day assemblies on an "invitation" basis. Your child's teacher will call you when he/she is being recognized so you can join us for Friday Celebration.

• Volunteers are welcome back to school sites but will still be required to complete a background check. This includes Deer Moms, Watch D.O.G.S., Library volunteers, PTO.

• Families will be allowed to attend class parties on designated party days.

• Birthday treats will be allowed. Treats must be store-bought (not made from home), individually pre-portioned (no cakes, pies, ice cream cakes). Any treats must comply with any classroom food allergies, as we have an increase in children with severe food allergies.

• In an effort to reduce congestion and provide a safer environment for everyone, we will continue with our normal Arrival/Dismissal procedures. Arrival and Dismissal will consist of Bus, Daycare, or Car Rider. Walkers are only for the children who live in the adjoining neighborhood.

• FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL ONLY - Parents will be allowed to walk your child up to the front door.

Again, these changes have been made in an effort to increase student and staff safety while at school.

TRANSPORTATION RULES AND REGULATIONS

“The Deer Creek School District has made arrangements to offer Student Accident Insurance for all students from K&K Insurance Group. We make this coverage available to parents for their children who are students enrolled in our schools. The Deer Creek School District does not provide insurance coverage or medical reimbursements to parents for injuries that occur during school, including those incurred during gym classes, recess, etc.

While this coverage is optional, it is important that you review the coverage options available to you and consider purchasing this coverage, especially if your family has health insurance with a high co-payment for doctor and emergency visits, or a high-deductible plan, etc. Go to the link below for the application and additional information.
