I. SCHOOL PROCEDURES
ABSENCE
The only absences considered to be excused are those caused by illness or injury of the student (medical, dental, or counseling appointments) or funeral services of a student’s immediate family member. A telephone call on the day of the absence indicating the reason for a child’s absence is necessary to verify an absence.
Any absences reported after 5 school days will be documented as Unexcused.
Please note: There is an answering machine number (447-2813) that is on 24 hours a day. Callers must be at least 18 years of age. When calling, please state:
A. Your child’s name
B. Your name and your relationship to the child
C. Your child’s grade level and teacher
D. Date of absence
E. Reason for absence
Thanks for your help in seeing that your child attends school each day he/she is physically able.
The Fullerton School District receives state funding only for students who are present in school.
1
TARDINESS
In order to begin instruction promptly each day, it is absolutely necessary to have ALL students arrive by 8:25 a.m. The bell for students to line up will ring at 8:25am. Everyone should be in class and ready to begin the day at 8:30am. For safety on campus, students should not arrive at school earlier than 8:00am. There is no supervision on the playground until that time.
The following procedures will begin the second week of school:
1. Students who are late must check in at the office before going to class.
2. Only illness or a doctor/dental appointment will be considered excused tardies. A note from the doctor/dentist will be required.
3. Each student will get 3 free ‘Unexcused’ tardies for the trimester. After a student receives their 4th unexcused tardy, they will receive detention. Detention will be served in the school office during the student’s A.M. recess on the same day the tardy occurred.
4. The procedure for excessive tardies and absences is as follows:
a. Letter from principal to parent
b. Second letter from principal
c. School Attendance Review Board (SARB) informed
5. Students must be picked up promptly after school is dismissed. All children not picked up within 15 minutes of school dismissal must be signed out at the office.
TRUANCY
By California State law (Education Code #48200) every child between the ages of six and sixteen years must attend school full time unless exempt under state law. A child is considered truant when he/she is absent from school without a valid excuse for more than three days in one school year. By state law (Education Code #48260), any student who is truant shall be reported to the district attendance supervisor or to the superintendent of the district.
SSOAR (Saturday School Opportunity Attendance Recovery)
The program will provide students with an opportunity to recover an unexcused, unverified, or excused absence. Students who have missed 1 day will have the opportunity to make up that absence and receive perfect attendance.
RELEASE OF STUDENTS DURING THE SCHOOL DAY
There may be circumstances that arise when it will be necessary for parents to take their children out of school for part of the day. When this is necessary, the parent must go to the office in order to sign out the child. A student will not be released to anyone except the parent or an adult listed on the student’s emergency card. In an emergency, permission over the phone may be granted to release the student to someone not on the emergency card, provided the person checking the student out is 18 years or older and can provide proper identification. Students will not be called from class until the parent arrives to the office.
EMERGENCY CARD INFORMATION
It is imperative that in case of an emergency the parents of the student or an authorized adult be reached. For this reason, every effort should be made to fill out a new card if any changes of address or telephone numbers occur. The names and telephone numbers of friends, relatives, and babysitters listed on the card must also be local and kept current.
2
ELECTRONIC SIGNALING DEVICES
Electronic signaling devices include but are not limited to pagers, beepers, cellular/digital/satellite telephones, PDAs, and two-way radios. Any electronic signaling device with the capability to capture digital images and/or take photographs of any kind shall be prohibited from student possession or use during school hours and school events unless specifically authorized in writing by the principal/designee.
The security of the device is strictly the responsibility of the student and his/her parents/guardians. The school and school personnel will accept no responsibility or liability of its loss, damage, destruction or theft, in use or misuse or its operation. School officials may confiscate any device that is used on campus or at a school activity in violation of District Policies, Regulations, State Laws or school rules. Confiscated devices may be returned to the parents. Failure to follow District Policies and Regulations, State Laws or school rules concerning the possession and/or use of electronic signaling devices may result in disciplinary action including suspension and/or expulsion.
VISITING SCHOOL
To insure the safety of our students, visitors MUST check/sign in at the office and receive a visitor or volunteer badge before proceeding onto the campus.
LUNCH PROCEDURES
Hot lunches can be purchased daily ($2.55) on a cash basis in the cafeteria. You may also put money on your student’s account by using the website “myschoolbucks.com” or dropping off payment in the school office. Milk may be purchased if children bring sack lunches for 50¢ (Please note: All prices subject to change.) In order to plan for the correct number of lunches per day, each teacher takes a lunch count immediately after the beginning of each school day.
Effective November 2002, the Nutrition Center no longer allows students to borrow if they forget their money, or lunch. The Nutrition Center will, however, provide an alternative lunch, which consists of cheese & crackers, fruit, and milk if money or a lunch is forgotten. If a child does not have a lunch, they may call home to have a lunch delivered. There is a “lunch drop off” table in the office.
Free and reduced price lunches are available to students who qualify due to family emergencies or limited family income. These forms need to be updated every year during the month of September. Forms are not available at the school site, only at the district Nutrition Center located at 389 W. Truslow, Fullerton.
SNACKS
Please no candy or sodas. Only healthy food.
BREAKFAST
Please feed your child breakfast. Children perform better when they are not hungry.
LOST AND FOUND
Children who have lost something should first check with their teacher, then in the office, and finally on the table in the multi-purpose room. We only keep articles for one month. Students’ personal belongings should be labeled with first and last names. Articles left on the buses are taken to the district’s transportation office (447-7445).
SCHOOL PARKING LOT
Please remember that traffic is often heavy at dismissal, especially in front of the school. We ask that parents who drop children off do so by entering from Fern Drive Street. Please do not make a U-turn at the Pico entrance of the parking lot. Please pull into a parking space when waiting for your children and follow the parking lot markings. We want to insure the safety of all children. Also, please be aware that the Fullerton Police Department periodically monitors the traffic at Fern Drive and issues tickets where necessary for traffic violations.
3
REPORT CARDS AND CONFERENCES
Report cards are issued three times during the school year. Parent conferences will be scheduled twice during the year. You will receive notification prior to conference times. Feel free to contact your child’s teacher at any time throughout the year if you have a question or concern regarding his/her program.
FERN DRIVE FOLDERS/COMMUNICATIONS
Every student will receive a Fern Drive Folder at the beginning of school. This folder is used to send home information and student work from school and is sent home every Wednesday. This folder should be returned the following day.
II. SCHOOL SERVICES
BOOKS AND SUPPLIES
Students are expected to take good care of all school supplies. All textbooks must be covered at all times. Parents will be requested to reimburse the district for lost and/or damaged books and materials.
BUS CONDUCT
Being able to ride the bus is a privilege. Please cooperate with the bus drivers as they are in complete charge while transporting students. Any misconduct may result in suspension of bus privileges.
HEALTH SERVICES
Each school is given the health services necessary to develop a coordinated program for the improvement of health education and health status of the pupils. A school nurse is available to Fern Drive School on an on-call basis. The school district offers the following services to our children through the school nurse:
A. Provides vision screening for Kindergarten, 3rd, and 6th graders.
B. Provides hearing screening for Kindergarten, 2nd, and 5th graders.
C. Provides dental screening for Kindergarten through 3rd graders (Dental
screening is performed by an outside organization with the approval of the
school district.)

E. Coordinates immunization requirements.
F. Maintains all health records.
G. Processes special health referrals.
H. Gives emergency care in case of accident or illness at school.
I. Supervises control of communicable diseases in the school.
J. Interprets health information to staff.
K. Assists in welfare cases.
L. Important: Please notify the office if your child has a severe allergy or
other medical condition.
PHYSICAL SCREENING
Every child entering Kindergarten is required to present a certificate to the school stating that a physical screening has been done within six months prior to Kindergarten entry. The school will provide a physician’s certification form.
DENTAL ASSESSMENT
To make sure your student is ready for school, California law, Education Code Section 49452.8, now requires that your child have an oral health assessment (dental check-up) by May 31st in either kindergarten or first grade, whichever is his/her first year in public school. Assessments that have happened within the 12 months before your child enters school also meet this requirement. The law specifies that a licensed dentist or other licensed or registered dental health professional must do the assessment.
4
IMMUNIZATION
The law requires that proof of immunization for polio, DTP, measles, mumps, rubella, Hepatitis B, and T.B. be presented at the time of kindergarten registration or whenever a new student enters school. Students who have not fulfilled the immunization requirements will be excluded from school.
Documentary proof must include the following minimal information:
A. Name of person immunized
B. Birth date
C. Types of vaccine administered
D. Date each immunization was administered
E. Name of physician or agency administering the vaccine
In the event that immunizations are contrary to the beliefs of the parent, the parent must sign an affidavit accordingly. A physician’s statement of medical exemption may be accepted.
ILLNESS
Good health is more important than perfect attendance. Please do not send your child to school when he/she is not feeling well. Call the school at once if your child has a communicable disease. The staff continually observes the students for possible symptoms or exposure to contagious diseases.
Please make sure the school has a current emergency card on file at all times with telephone numbers at home and work for both parents, a doctor’s name and number, and the number of two other adults in case the parents cannot be reached.
It is suggested that parents file a medical “permission to treat” form with the hospital emergency room nearest the school authorizing emergency medical treatment in the event they cannot be reached.
PUPIL MEDICATION
Medication is given only on the written request of the parents with written authorization and explicit directions from the doctor (forms are available in the office). This authorization must be renewed each year. The school should be contacted when this need arises. All medication should be clearly labeled and will be kept in the office where office personnel can supervise distribution. A STUDENT IS NOT ALLOWED TO CARRY ANY MEDICINE AT SCHOOL. This includes over the counter medication such as Tylenol, cough drops.
INSURANCE
Insurance forms are sent home with students at the beginning of the school year. If parents choose to take advantage of this service, they mail the form and premium directly to the company.
MEDIA CENTER/COMPUTER LAB
Students will visit the Media Center with their classroom at least once a week for book checkout and computer lab. The computer programs are used as an extension of concepts being studied in the classroom and supports the Fullerton School District Technology Plan.
1. All students will attend a Media Center orientation with their class during the first weeks of school.
2. Kindergarten and 1st grade students may check out one book for one week. The book
may be renewed for one additional week only.

until payment is made. In addition, reports cards will be withheld until payment is made.
5

Fourth grade students have the opportunity to attend classes for religious instruction approximately 45 minutes a week on Wednesday. Non-denominational Protestant classes are held in the Chapel on Wheels trailer parked on Fern Drive Street. Children who do not attend this program remain in the classroom and do teacher-directed activities of an enrichment nature. The Chapel on Wheels also conducts an after-school program for Fifth and Sixth Grade students.
III. SPECIAL SERVICES
Special support services are provided for students with exceptional needs. The School Intervention Team is primarily responsible for identifying students who are experiencing academic or social difficulties, developing interventions for these students, and conferring with parents regarding program recommendations.
Prior to any evaluation, written parental permission is obtained after informing the parents of all information relevant to the evaluation activity. Parents are informed of the method and names of tests to be used in the evaluation. Persons on the School Intervention Team include the child’s teacher, principal, school psychologist, resource specialist, speech and language specialist, and a nurse, when needed.

School Programs (cont.)
BIRTHDAY BOOK CLUB
We realize that birthdays are exciting times for children; however, we prefer that you do not send treats with your child when he/she has a birthday. Fern Drive has a school-wide book club program that has been developed to enhance and extend our literature and Language Arts curriculum. In celebration of a birthday, a student may donate a book to Fern Drive’s Media Center. Books from which to make your selection will be available at the Media Center. A nameplate with the student’s name and year of donation will be put inside the book and each student will receive a Certificate of Participation. The student’s picture with the book will be on display in our Media Center.
ENGLISH LEARNER (EL) PROGRAM
The goal of our program is to assist students to develop high levels of English language for academic, interpersonal, social skills and positive self-concept. The English Learner program is staffed by trained aides who work with students who do not speak English. He/she works at the direction of the EL director who is a teacher. Students who are limited English proficient are given English language instruction by trained staff within the classroom thirty minutes every day.
GIFTED AND TALENTED EDUCATION (GATE)
The California state-funded program for the Mentally Gifted Minors, which exists in the Fullerton School District, is termed the GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) program. Children who are identified as mentally gifted are given the opportunity to attend one of four cluster schools. Identified gifted students from nearby schools are transported to one of the cluster schools where they are enrolled as full-time students. Golden Hill School is designated as our cluster school. Students are screened in the second grade, and placement in GATE classes begins at the third grade. State criteria for participation in a GATE program include an intelligence test score in the top 2%, as measured by an individually administered test, and recommendation by school personnel familiar with the child’s performance. If more information is needed, please call 447-7492.

VII. DISCIPLINE PLAN
Fern Drive School promotes an environment that positively reinforces students who are doing well and uses an incentive plan to encourage all students to make positive choices.
REWARDS
1. “Gotcha” tickets are given to students who demonstrate exceptional behavior or service. Children can trade their accumulated “Gotcha” tickets for prizes in grades 1-3.
2. A “Student of the Month” from each classroom is recognized at a monthly assembly. “Student of the Month” awards are presented for excellence, or improvement in any academic area. They are also given for improvement in behavior or attitude.
3. Every Friday there will be a FYI reward recess. This recess is awarded to students who have not received an FYI (see ‘consequences’ below) during that week. Upper grade classes (4-6) will receive an additional 15 minute recess and primary grades (1-3) will receive an additional 10 minutes added to their afternoon recess.
4. There will be monthly drawings at the Student of the Month assemblies for upper grades. Any student who has not received an FYI for the month will be eligible for the drawing.
CONSEQUENCES
Students who choose not to contribute to a positive environment will receive consequences from school staff, including their classroom teacher. Fern Drive uses F.Y.I.’s (For Your Information) to record student consequences. The consequences are as follows:
1st FYI -- Student will sit out recess and write a note about the incident.
2nd FYI -- Student will sit out recess and write a note about the incident, which will require a parent signature.
3rd FYI -- Student will sit out recess, write a note about the incident requiring a parent signature, and the classroom teacher will call the parents.
After three FYI’s the principal will be notified and take further action deemed appropriate.

VIII. HOMEWORK GUIDELINES
Homework is a valuable and integral part of the curriculum. It is designed to challenge students independently and to build responsibility. Assignments include real-life situations, problem solving, and research in all curricular areas, and may be written or non-written.
The homework policy by grade level is as follows:
Kindergarten: 10 minutes of reading 4 days a week.
Grade 1: 10-15 minutes of reading, 10-15 minutes of written work, 4 days a week.
Grade 2: 15 minutes of reading, 15 minutes of written work, 4 days a week.

All students are encouraged to read recreationally at home for at least 10-15 minutes in grades K-2 and 30 minutes in grades 3-6. We encourage an adult to read to all children, and especially to Kindergarten students and beginning 1st graders. Limiting T.V. time encourages reading.
The types of homework activities assigned are at the discretion of the teacher. The student has the responsibility to communicate the homework assignment to his/her parents either through written or spoken communication.
Parental involvement is vital to insure the success of homework. The benefit gained from homework assignments will depend to a large extent upon the encouragement and assistance you provide. Your child’s teacher will suggest appropriate activities that will extend learning in the home. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the school.
