DAILY SCHEDULE:

EMERGENCY CLOSING/SNOW
DAY:
In the event of an emergency closing/snow day, announcements
will be made over radio stations WTKO/Q104, WKRT, WPCX, WCII, WXHC, and WSKG and
television stations WTVH5, News10Now ch. 10, WSTM Ch. 3, TV12WBNG and WIXT Ch.

In case of an early dismissal due
to an emergency closing, please discuss with your child what he/she should do if
transported to home/daycare and no one is there.
PROGRESS
REPORTS:
The Dryden Central School District
issues formal student evaluations three times per year. Parent/Teacher
conferences are scheduled toward the end of November. Additional conferences
can be arranged as needed. Parents are encouraged to keep open lines of
communication with the school staff.
PTO:
Cassavant Elementary school has an
active Parent Teacher Organization. We strongly encourage you to participate.
It is a great way to show your support to your child and the school. Meetings
are held monthly - more details to follow throughout the school
year.
RECESS:
Recess is scheduled each
day for 30 minutes during your child’s lunch hour. Weather conditions are
carefully observed. We have a field, basketball hoops, a creative playground
and a blacktop area behind our building.
It is essential that all
children come to school prepared to go outside for recess. This should
include appropriate outerwear and footwear that can be removed upon re-entering
the building. Children will be permitted to remain in the building
only if there is a medical reason that is supported by a doctor’s
request. Your cooperation is appreciated!
SAFETY
DRILLS:
Twelve fire drills are held
throughout the school year. Children practice an orderly evacuation of the
building. Other drills such as evacuation and lockdown drills are practiced as
needed.
SCHOOL CYCLE:
The school runs on a
four-day cycle. School days are numbered one through four on the lunch menu to
help parents know when their children are scheduled for art, music, physical
education, etc. classes. In the event of an emergency closing, the number day
missed will be the next day of school. Consequently, your menu calendar will
need to be adjusted for the remainder of the month.
STUDENT DISMISSAL
PRECAUTIONS:
In order to ensure student safety,
the building principal maintains a list of individuals who are authorized to
obtain the release of students in attendance at the school. No students may be
released to the custody of any individual who is not the parent or guardian of
the student, unless the individual has been designated in writing by the
parent.
If the parent, or properly
designated person picks up the child either at the end or during the school day,
they are required to sign the student out after presenting satisfactory
identification to office personnel.
VISITING
SCHOOL:
Parents/guardians are encouraged
and welcome to visit their child’s school. Visitors must first check in at the
office before going to
classrooms.
VOLUNTEERING:
For the safety
of our students all volunteers working with our students are required to
complete the registration form in the back of this handbook and return it to the
principal.
