New Kindergarten Eligibility Dates
On Monday, April 29, 2019, Gov. Eric Holcomb signed a bill that changes the eligibility cutoff date for students entering kindergarten in the 2019-20 school year. If your child will turn 5 on or before Sept. 1, 2019, you are eligible to apply for kindergarten. Previously, a child was eligible for kindergarten in the fall of 2019 if they turned 5 on or before Aug. 1, 2019.
Registration is now open! For more information, visit perryschools.org or 317-789-3700.
End of the year Negative Food Service Balance Information
At the end of the school year, any negative food balances of more than $50.00 will be sent to a professional collection agency. The negative balance stays with the student's account until graduation or upon withdrawal. Graduating seniors must pay all charges in full. Failure to do so may results in not being allowed to participate in the graduation ceremonies.
Payments can be made in person with your student's front office staff or through the Child Nutrition Department by contacting Janet Nataren at 317-789-3738 or Teresa Stinnett at 317-789-3741. Payments may also be made online through e-funds, but please note that no payments will be accepted through e-funds between Monday, June 17th through Friday, June 28th due to a system update. In-person payments will also not be accepted Monday, June 17th and Tuesday, June 18th due to this update.
Visitor Policy
Volunteer Policy
SCOPE: Volunteers who in the course of performing their service and have access to vulnerable populations, specifically minor children less than 18 years of age. This policy will cover all volunteers who volunteer on a regular basis with “ongoing contact” with students.
Such volunteers consist of:
- Volunteers who are with children on a regular basis
- Tutoring/Mentoring
- Coaches
- Extracurricular sponsors
- Volunteers who chaperone overnight trips/ or are attending field trips and have sole responsibility over a group of students or any student other than their own child.
PURPOSE: To establish a pre-screening program and an ongoing evaluation process to protect the students we are attempting to serve.
POLICY: It is the policy of Perry Township Schools to promote an environment in which the students we serve do so in safety and without fear in an atmosphere of trust and respect. Perry Township Schools, therefore, requires an expanded criminal history of volunteers who will have as part of their duties access to minors under the age of 18. Volunteers must wait until after their background screening process is complete to begin their volunteer assignment. However, the volunteer must contact Perry Township Schools if there are any personal arrests or filing of criminal charges while serving as a volunteer. A volunteer MUST complete the background check through Raptor each year. Volunteers will be interviewed by Administrators, teachers and/or Human Resources when deemed appropriate.
There is a $5.00 charge for the volunteer background check. The background checks usually take 5-7 days to be completed. Background checks will be maintained in Human Resources Office. The school will maintain a list of all current volunteers.
