Student Accidents Bumps and scrapes do occur at school during the year. We

have Band-Aids, ice packs, and other supplies on hand to take care of minor inju-

ries. We have wonderful staff members who help our children when they get hurt

or are not feeling well.

Medications at School There are strict procedures for dispensing medication

at school. Under no circumstances can school personnel administer

any type of medication without a parent and physician signed form

being completed and on file in the office.

State guidelines require this form to be on file, the original container used, and

that all medication be kept in the school office. This includes all prescribed and

nonprescription medications such as pain relievers, cough syrup, cold medicines,

etc. Please contact the school office if your child will need to take any medication

at school. You’ll be given the correct form that needs to be completed by you and

the doctor.

Peninsula School District Attendance Policy and Procedures

Your efforts to make sure your student is on time, every day, all day, will greatly

improve their academic success. We want your student to attend school! Their

growth will be greater if he/she attends school regularly. Skills and lessons are

taught and reviewed daily. Below are some important pieces to our attendance

policy that you will need to know:

School starts at Evergreen at 9:00 am and dismisses at 3:30 pm. Please

make sure your student attends for the entire day.

If your student is not at school it is required that you either call the parent

call-in/attendance line at 253.530.1306 or send a written excuse to give us

the following information: reason for absence, date of absence and

projected length of absence.

Parents/Guardians with students who have (3) unexcused absences in a

month will receive a letter requesting a conference with student’s teacher,

parent/guardian, building principal and other support staff as necessary.

Parents/Guardians with students who have (7) unexcused absences in a

month or ten (10) or more unexcused absences in the year will receive a

letter notifying them that a truancy petition filing is in process.

Excessive tardies affect a child’s desire to attend school.

Parents/Guardians may excuse a student’s absence for a wide range of reasons

including illness, medical/dental appointments, vacations, bereavement and

religious holiday. If a student is absent more than three days for illness, a doctor’s

note will be required or a visit with our district nurse. Please try to plan vacations

and medical appointments around the school schedule.

Evergreen School Attire

Evergreen Elementary students can look forward to a busy and active year. We would like our students to participate fully in all that our school has to offer. The following will be helpful when sending children off to school in the morning.

Dress your child casually and comfortably for regular school days.

Students will be safer, have more fun, and be more active with shoes that do not restrict movement, such as with flip-flops, high heels and platform shoes.

Do not send your child to school in very low cut and/or tight pants, bag-gy pants, and extra long pants.

Skirts and shorts must be longer than where finger tips hit when the hands are down by their sides. Tank tops must have at least 2 inch straps, no spa-ghetti straps and belly-revealing tops.

Our approach for students who wear inappropriate attire to school is to speak with them and help them find an immediate solution to the issue, and ask them not to wear the garment again. Your child may be given an alternative garment to wear. Parents will be informed so that we can work together to ensure a positive learning climate at Evergreen.

As parents and grandparents ourselves, we know how difficult it is to allow children to be fashionable while at the same time keeping them comfortable, appropriate, and safe. Thank you for your efforts!
