The school day begins at 8:45am and ends at 3:00pm.

• Parents are reminded that students may arrive after 8:15am when our supervisory staff arrives.
• Students arriving after 8:45am must be escorted to the front door by an adult to be buzzed in by the office. For safety, please do not have your child walk in alone.
• Students will be marked tardy if they arrive after 8:45am.
• If you are dropping off or picking up, it is best to park in the lot adjacent to the gazebo. Please avoid parking where "NO PARKING" signs are posted. Failure to do so often results in difficulty with arrival and departure for our buses.
• DROP OFF- Please pull up to the side of the walkway closest to the cafeteria. Have your child exit on the passenger side for safety reasons. If your child needs assistance getting out of the car, please park in the lower lot near the gazebo and walk your child up the walkway. This will ensure traffic moves smoothly for busses and cars. Thank you for your understanding.

Please remember to always have identification with you at DISMISSAL. Safety first :)

***If you plan to pick up your child prior to the end of the school day without sending in a note, it is very helpful to call the school prior to your arrival. This will ensure your child's teacher and your child have been notified of the early dismissal and can be properly prepared to leave school upon your arrival.

Students are welcome to order lunch for $2.60 and reduced is $0.40. Students can purchase milk as well. You may send in a money or check with your child or you can make a payment at myschoolbucks.com. You can register for a username and password where you can add money to your child's lunch account.

Breakfast is served from 8:15-8:45am in the cafeteria. If a student is ordering breakfast, he or she should come eat breakfast prior to going out to the playground. Breakfast cost is $1.25 and reduced is $0.30.

Dear North Scituate Elementary Families,

This note is to remind and inform you of a few important health policies in order to help your child have a healthy and safe school experience this year.

Please take note of these important health policies and procedures in the North Scituate School Handbook:

• Medication Policy
• Procedures for Food in the Classroom
• Peanut/Tree Nut Free Classrooms
• Guidelines for attendance when ill
• Calling to report absences

In order to protect our students with life-threatening allergies from being exposed to peanuts and/or tree nuts, the following classrooms will be designated as Peanut Free and/or Tree Nut Free for this school year:

• 1 Fraser Peanut Nut Free
• 2 Bettez Tree Nut Free
• 4 Augustine Peanut Free AND Tree Nut Free
• 4 Scucces Peanut Free AND Tree Nut Free

Depending on the allergy listed, no foods containing peanuts and/or tree nuts will be allowed in these classrooms. If your child is in one of these classrooms, any foods with peanuts or tree nuts brought to school for lunch will be stored in the cafeteria. Students in PEANUT FREE OR TREE NUT FREE Classrooms should NOT TAKE SNACKS containing peanut and or nut ingredients to school, since snacks are eaten in the classroom. Please read the ingredients label on packaged food before sending them in with your child.

Please take a moment to complete the Annual Health History Update (sent home in first day envelope) in order for your child’s health record to be updated, the classroom teacher to be notified of any health concerns, and the best possible care for your child can be provided while they are at school. Please return this form to school ASAP.

Thank you so much and please call or stop by the health office anytime, if you have any questions or concerns. My door is always open!

Sincerely,

Colleen McCann, RN, School Nurse/Teacher

A tiny item that makes a BIG difference for others is the aluminum pop tab! Last year our school collected and donated more than 2 recycling bins full of aluminum pop tabs to Ronald McDonald House in Providence. Ronald McDonald House uses the proceeds from the recyclable aluminum to help fund their “home away from home” for families with children in Hasbro Children’s Hospital.

Students are great collectors! Please help them find opportunities to round up lots of pop tabs…and to spread the word to family and friends that we are collecting them here at school.

Your child may leave pop tabs at the office, pass them to his or her teacher, or deliver them to Room 6 (Mrs. O’Grady’s class) at any time. Thanks for helping North Scituate Elementary School help others.
