SCHOOL LUNCH POLICY

Please provide a lunch or lunch money for your child(ren) every day. Free and reduced meals are available to all students who qualify according to USDA guidelines. Applications are sent home the first week of school and must be submitted each year. You must complete an application for each child. Breakfast is served from 8:30 a.m.-8:50 a.m. Breakfast must be prepaid. We encourage parents to use the prepaid system. Students may purchase lunches on a weekly or monthly basis by paying in advance with cash or check. (Place money in an envelope clearly stating your child’s name, teacher, and lunch number.) Please make sure that your child(ren) has a lunch or lunch money provided every day. You may call 926-8222 to inquire about your child(ren’s) current credit/debit lunch money balance throughout the year. Lunch menus will be sent home monthly in The Warrior Way and may be accessed at www.shadevilletribaltribune.net.


CAFETERIA RULES

After going through the serving line, students will sit at their designated table. The students will empty their own trays and return to their original seats and wait for dismissal. Students are to enter and leave the cafeteria in an orderly manner. Students are expected to control their behavior while in the lunchroom. We expect students to behave like ladies and gentlemen. Lunchroom behavior problems will be communicated to the classroom teacher or principal.

 


MEDICATION POLICY

Any medication to be given to a student during school hours must be delivered to the school nurse by an adult. It must be in the original container and be accompanied by a written statement from the child’s doctor as to need and/or a note from the child’s parent giving consent to administer the medicine. This policy applies to over-the-counter medicines, as well. Medical release forms are enclosed.


STUDENT DRESS

Students are expected to dress appropriately for school, safety, modesty, and the weather. Mini-skirts, short shorts, tank tops, hats, sunglasses, baggy pants, midriffs, spaghetti strap shirts, shirts displaying inappropriate language or pictures, high heels, wheeled shoes, and flip flops will not be permitted. For safety reasons tennis shoes should be worn on P.E. days.


HEAD LICE

Shadeville has a no nit/lice policy. Head checks are conducted as requested by teachers, and students sent home must be brought back to school by an adult for clearance by the school nurse before returning to their classroom.

LOST AND FOUND

Please write your child’s name on their coats, sweaters, lunchboxes, and backpacks with a permanent marker before coming to school so that they can be returned to them if the item becomes lost at school . We make every effort during the school year to return lost items to your child, but unlabeled items are rarely claimed and are eventually given to local charities. Encourage your child to check for lost items as soon as they are lost.


DISCIPLINE

Proper student conduct and behavior are fundamental to the educational process. Teachers and staff will maintain a classroom management system that is consistent with a productive learning environment. A list of classroom rules and consequences from your child’s teacher will be sent home the first week of school.
