Dear New Market Elementary Families,

Welcome to a new year at New Market Elementary! We are so excited about the 2011-2012

School-wide Title I Parental Engagement Policy

New Market Elementary is a school-wide Title I school. Title I is a federal program that

provides funding to schools based on the percentage of students who qualify for free and

reduced lunch. The funding from Title I is spent in ways to support the achievement of all

students at our school. The following information explains steps that New Market

Elementary will take in order to promote parental engagement.

New Market Elementary will conduct a Title I annual public meeting to which all

parents will be invited.

Parental Engagement meetings will include family nights which will provide parents

with specific instructional activities that may be utilized at home in reading and math.

Notification of the meetings will be provided in a language that is easily understood.

Parents will receive correspondence from the teacher weekly via work folders and/or

student agendas.

Parents will be included on the School Advisory Council, the School Improvement

Planning Team and the Parental Engagement Planning Committee.

The school will correspond with the home on a monthly basis through the Parents

Make a Difference Newsletter and the New Market Monthly Newsletter.

Students’ progress will be reported to parents through report cards, interim reports,

graded work sent home and spoken/written communication from the teacher.

Parents concerns will be addressed through the use of parent surveys.

Parents are invited to visit the school and volunteer for school and PTO/Advisory

Council activities.

A School Parent Compact will be provided for parents so that all stakeholders know

their unique responsibilities in supporting student achievement.

The ABC’s of School Policies and Guidelines

at New Market Elementary

Academic Problems:

When a student has trouble understanding what is being taught, or

the parent realizes that their child is having difficulty with the grade

level work, the first place to go for help is the classroom teacher.

Please encourage your child to ask questions in class when they do not

understand what is being taught.

Teachers are able to conference with parents after school.

Please send a note with your child for the teacher if you are in need of

a conference. The teacher will respond with a scheduled time for you to

come in for a conference. If you need to speak with your child’s

teacher over the phone, please call the school any time after 2:45 pm.

On many days our teachers do have meetings after school so if they are

not available when you call please leave your name and number with one

of our secretaries. Our office staff will get the message to the

appropriate teacher. Your child’s teacher should be in touch with you

within 24 hours. The faculty at New Market Elementary wants every

child to be successful.

Attendance:

Attendance in school and participation in class are an integral part

of academic achievement and the teaching-learning process. Regular

attendance and being on time develops patterns of behavior essential to

professional and personal success in life. To be counted present for

the entire school day a student must remain in school until 11:15 am. A

student must be in school a minimum of 3 hours and 20 minutes to be

given credit for attendance at school.

When a student must miss school, a written excuse must be signed

and dated by the parent/guardian stating why the student was absent.

The student should bring that note to school on the day he/she returns

from being absent. Parents have two days after their child returns to

school to send in a note to their child’s teacher. Please do not call the

school and tell us that your child is absent. Excused absences include

personal illness, dental or doctor’s appointments, death in the immediate

family, a court or administrative proceeding if the student is a party to

the action or under subpoena, religious observances, educational

opportunities approved by the principal in advance, and other

emergencies which occur with approval of the principal. If a student

becomes chronically absent the principal may require documentation from

a physician. Students who are absent from school more than 20 days

for any reason will generally be retained in the same grade for the

succeeding year.

According to Randolph County Board Policy, tardies are to be

handled in the following manner. “All elementary schools and the middle

schools shall allow three tardies and/or early sign-outs each semester

before denying a Perfect Attendance Award. After three tardies

and/or early sign-outs each semester, any additional three tardies

and/or early sign-outs will result in one absence being added to a

student’s absence total.”

Being at school everyday is very important for your child’s

academic progress. Please make sure that your child arrives at school

on time and attends school daily. If your child’s attendance becomes a

problem which does not improve through intervention, your child will be

referred to our school social worker.

Before and After School Care:

New Market Elementary runs a Before and After School Care

Program. The before school program runs from 6:30-7:30 am and the

after school program runs from 2:30-5:30pm. Our daycare is in

operation on regular school days, early dismissal days and most teacher

workdays. Our daycare is not open on holidays. In case of inclement

weather, our daycare will close early. Children can get help with their

homework; play outside or in the gym and make crafts. Parents

interested in this program should contact the After School Care

Director for weekly cost and enrollment information. Financial

responsibility includes making regularly scheduled payments for the

proper amount to the Before and After School Care Program.

Students enrolled are expected to follow rules set up in the After

School Care Program. Parents will be notified if the rules are not

followed. Failure to follow the rules and/or delinquent payments will

result in suspension from the program.

Birthday Celebrations/Balloons/Flowers:

It is thoughtful of parents to give balloons, flowers, or stuffed

animals to their child for their birthday or a holiday. However, these

items cannot be carried on the school bus at the end of the school day.

They also cause distractions which could lead to accidents. When these

items are taken to the classroom, they may also hinder the learning

process. It is often difficult for students to concentrate on their work

when they are thinking about the gift that they or another child

received. For these reasons, no balloons, flowers, or other similar

celebratory items will be accepted in the school office. Please make

plans for these items to be delivered to your home.

If you would like for your child’s birthday to be recognized at

school, please contact your child’s teacher for information on how this is

handled in the classroom. In order not to interfere with classroom

instruction, celebrations are held at lunch or snack time. Please

remember that all refreshments served for students must be store

bought.

Birthday party invitations, or other party invitations, should not

be sent to school to be distributed to students. There are often hurt

feelings when all students are not included.

Books and Book Bags:

All students have the responsibility of seeing that his/her books

are not lost or damaged. This includes textbooks, supplementary books

and library books. If a student loses or damages a book, replacement

or damage fees will be collected. Each student should have a book bag

that he/she can bring to and from school to protect their books and

assignments. No rolling book bags are allowed. The wheels are damaging

to our floors.

Buses:

Responsibilities of Students:

Be ready and on time for the school bus each morning.

Stand away from the road, in an orderly manner, while waiting for

the bus.

Wait for the bus to stop and watch for the traffic before

crossing the road.

Always cross the road in front of the bus when loading or

unloading.

Never stop to pick up anything you drop in front of the bus. Tell

the driver first.

Sit quietly in your assigned seat at all times until the bus reaches

the stop where you exit. Do not behave in any way that might

distract the driver’s attention, such as shouting, fighting,

throwing objects, or moving up and down the aisle while the bus is

moving.

Obey all safety rules, and do your part to help the driver provide

safe transportation.

Use the back door only in an emergency.

Do not damage the bus in any way. Parents will be responsible for

any damage their child does on the bus.

Show the bus driver the same respect that should be shown to any

teacher or adult.

Food and/or drinks are not allowed on the bus at any time.

Responsibilities of Parents:

Become familiar with rules and regulations of safe bus operation.

From time to time talk with your child about the importance of

bus safety.

Encourage your child to respect and obey the school bus driver.

If your child experiences problems on the bus, report this

immediately to the bus driver, assistant principal or principal.

If you observe a school bus from any school in the county

operating in an unsafe manner, record the bus number and

immediately phone the nearest school principal or the Randolph

County Transportation Department.

School Bus Discipline and Control:

If a student fails to follow the rules and regulations for riding the

school bus the following actions will be taken:

First Offense:

The principal/assistant principal or their designee will talk with the

student about his/her behavior and encourage full compliance with the

rules and regulations. A written report of the violation will be made and

kept on file in the principal’s office. A copy of the report will be sent

home with the student to be signed by the parent and returned.

Second Offense:

The student’s parents may be phoned to discuss the problem and

may be asked to come to the school for a conference with the

principal/assistant principal. Parents will be asked to help solve the

problem so that the student will abide by the rules and regulations. A

written report will be made and kept on file in the principal’s office. A

copy of the report will be sent home with the student to be signed by

the parent and returned.

Third Offense and Additional Offenses:

Parents will be phoned to discuss the problem and may be asked to

come to the school for a conference with the principal or designee.

Parents will again be asked to help solve the problem. The principal or

designee may suspend the student from riding the bus for a period of

days or weeks. A written report will be made and kept on file in the

principal’s office. A copy of the report will be sent home with the

student to be signed by the parent and returned.

If a student is guilty of an act that is dangerous to the safety of

other students riding the bus, the principal or designee has the

authority to immediately suspend him/her from riding the bus. A

written report will be made and kept on file in the principal’s office.

When suspensions are made, students will be granted an informal hearing

with the principal or assistant principal. Written reports of all

proceedings will be made and kept on file by school officials.

Cafeteria:

It is required for all students to exhibit respectful and

appropriate behavior in the cafeteria. We welcome parents to come and

have lunch with their child. Our cafeteria staff prepares delicious and

healthy lunches each day so please take advantage of this and enjoy a

school lunch when you visit rather than bringing in fast food.

Students who are required to pay for meals are expected to

provide payment in a timely manner. Students can prepay for meals on

a weekly or monthly basis. They may also choose to pay on a daily basis.

On occasion a student may have forgotten lunch money; therefore a

student is allowed to charge two meals. When a student incurs two

uncollected meal charges, an invoice for the charges and a free/reduced

meal application will be sent home. Parents/guardians are responsible

for all charges.

Change of Address:

Please notify the school immediately if you have a change of

address or phone number. Randolph County Board of Education policy

requires that parents notify the school principal immediately upon the

change of residence if they move outside the school attendance area.

Permission must be secured from:

Sherri Trotter

Randolph County Schools

2222-C South Fayetteville Street

Asheboro, N.C. 27203

Phone: (336) 318-6177

for the student(s) to remain in the Randolph County Schools contingent

upon space availability, student conduct, attendance record, and

payment of tuition as required. If a parent/guardian has failed to

notify the school of a change of residence or give an erroneous

residential address the student may be denied continued enrollment.

Clubs:

Safety Patrol and Student Council are the student organizations

that provide services to the entire student body. Membership for these

two organizations is determined by teacher input and classroom voting.

Other clubs that are provided are Earth Kids, New Market

Ambassadors, Mile Club and Technocats.

Discipline:

Bobcats Always do their Bobcat BEST… Behave Responsibly,

Expect to Learn, Strive for Excellence, and Treat Others with Respect.

The Bobcat Pledge exemplifies New Market Elementary School’s and

Randolph County’s expectation for daily student behavior. We expect

that our students will be respectful, show good manners, get along with

his/her classmates, and complete all assigned work. When a child does

not live up to these expectations, teachers will conference with the

student, call a parent and assign classroom consequences.

If a student continues to not make good choices he or she will be

assigned to a setting called “Redirect and Rethink.” The goal of R&R is

to redirect the child’s actions and assist them with rethinking their

choice of behaviors. This means that your child will be placed in

another teacher’s classroom or in the office for a certain amount of

time. This could be for one hour or even for the entire day. The

administrators or guidance counselors will make the assignment to this

setting. Parents will be notified when a child is going to be placed in

another setting.

If a student continues to make bad choices he or she will be sent

to the intervention center. The intervention center is housed at

Randleman Middle School. Students spend the entire day at the center

working on assignments. This is a classroom setting where students

work on assignments in an isolated manner under the supervision of a

teacher.

Elementary students should not have to be suspended. However,

should a child’s behavior be such that he/she has to be suspended,

parents are immediately informed by telephone whenever possible. A

letter is written to his/her parents explaining why the action was taken

and indicating when the student may return to school. Students who are

suspended may not attend any school activities during the time they are

suspended.

Dress Code:

New Market faculty and staff strongly recommend that students

wear sneakers or other types of shoes which are appropriate for

outdoor play. No flip flops, please. Sneakers must be worn on PE day.

No shoes with skates are allowed. Parents will be called if a child’s

attire/shoes are deemed inappropriate.

Students are expected to dress in a manner which is not

disruptive or distracting to others. If it causes a disruption, it is

inappropriate. The following rules of dress will apply:

Blouses, shirts and other types of tops should extend to the top

of the pants or skirt.

Spaghetti straps, tank tops, halter tops, fishnet or other mesh

clothing, or other tops with openings that reveal inappropriate

body parts or underclothing should not be worn.

Pants that are baggy or drag the floor (pants/shorts must be

worn around the waist) are not appropriate.

Head apparel hats, headbands, scarves, bandanas, picks, combs,

etc.) or sunglasses may not be worn inside the building unless the

headgear is worn based on a sincerely-held religious belief.

Colored hair (pink, purple, etc.) is not appropriate and is not

allowed.

Sleepwear or bedroom slippers are not allowed.

Bare feet and/or flip flops are not allowed for safety reasons.

Students are not permitted to wear clothing that contains

advertisements for tobacco, alcohol, or drugs. Clothing with

pictures or words depicting racism or violence are not appropriate.

These include items which show skulls, knives, guns, blood,

offensive messages, or any violent theme.

Items that are potentially dangerous such as fish hooks, chains,

or spiked objects are also not allowed.

If a student’s dress, appearance or lack of cleanliness is

detrimental to the health or safety of him/herself or others,

substantially disrupts the school or work environment, or otherwise

violates this policy, the principal may require the student to adjust

his/her appearance or clothing. Failure to comply with this policy or the

school dress code will result in the student being removed from the

classroom and/or school until his/her appearance or clothing meets the

school district policy or rules. The student’s parent/guardian will be

notified prior to any removal from school.

Field Trips:

Field trips can be an important part of a school experience.

Students going on a field trip are expected to:

Have a signed permission slip from parent/guardian

Pay the student’s share of expense

Be on their best behavior at all times

Follow school rules and regulations

(Siblings are not permitted to go on field trips due to safety

requirements and student supervision needs. Parents are not allowed to

ride on the activity bus.)

Grading System:

Report cards and the grading systems differ for kindergarten

through second grade. K-2 teachers do not give letter grades. Grades

for 3-5 will follow the grading scale listed below:

93-100 A

85-92 B

77-84 C

70-76 D

69 and below F

Homework:

Homework is a very important part of each student’s education.

Homework gives students practice on skills learned that day. The

Randolph County Schools Board of Education has established board policy

governing homework. The policy expresses an understanding of the

importance of homework and states that student homework shall be

equivalent to ten minutes times the student’s grade level. For instance,

a fifth grader can expect to have 50 minutes of homework nightly. This

time does not include nightly reading.

Honor Roll/Special Recognition:

Students in Grades 3-5 are recognized each nine weeks for making

all A’s or A’s and B’s. Students in all grade levels will be recognized for

perfect attendance each nine weeks.

Inclement Weather:

In case of bad weather, and when there is a chance that school

might be delayed or canceled, please listen to the radio and/or watch

your local television station. Unless you have heard something by

6:00 am, you should plan to attend school. If snow or other bad

weather begins after school is in session, school may be dismissed early.

Listen for announcements from local television and radio. Please do not

call the school.

Insurance:

Students are NOT automatically covered by insurance when an

accident occurs at school. Therefore, insurance for dental and/or

student accidents is available to you. Information on insurance coverage

will be sent home with your child. Payment should be made directly to

the company. The school is not responsible for student accidents which

occur in the school unless negligence is proven on the part of the school.

Unfortunately, many parents are not aware of this until it is too late.

Lice:

A student determined to have lice will be isolated from the school

population. The parent or guardian will be contacted to pick the student

up from school. The parent will be instructed on how to complete the

treatment process. A child may return to school after treatment.

Before returning to the classroom, the child’s head will be checked by a

designated staff member.

Lost and Found:

Clothing and other items that are found at the school or on the

bus are put in the Lost and Found, which is located in the office and/or

outside the cafeteria. Many of these items are never claimed by the

students. To help us return these items to your child, please write your

child’s name, using a permanent marker, in all the clothing that they

take off while at school – coats, jackets, sweaters, etc. and items such

as lunchboxes and book bags.

Make Up Work:

In the event of an excused absence, a student shall be entitled to

make up work. Make up work shall be assigned at the convenience of

the teacher.

Medication:

If under exceptional circumstances a student is required to take

medication during school hours, the parent must:

Pick up a Medication Permission Form from the office.

Have the form completed by a physician.

Bring medication to school, DO NOT SEND THE MEDICATION

ON THE BUS.

Have all medication containers labeled by a pharmacist including

the child’s name, the pharmacy’s name and address, the serial

number and date filled, the name and strength of the drug,

directions for use and prescriber’s name.

The time that the student takes the medication must be stated on

the bottle. It may state a specific time or say “take before lunch” or

“after lunch.” It cannot say “take two times a day” or “three times a

day”, etc. Be sure the doctor states on the medication form the times

and amounts to be taken. The medication permission form and bottle

must match.

We cannot give over the counter medications of any kind to

students. This includes such things as aspirin, Tylenol, calamine lotion,

cough drops, and Neosporin. All over the counter medications can only

be given when we have a completed medication form has been signed by

the parent and physician.

Newsletter:

We will publish on a monthly basis, a school newsletter to keep

you informed of school activities. We hope that you will take the time

to read these.

Parent Teacher Organization:

The New Market Parent Teacher Organization exists to promote

the welfare of our children. They sponsor many opportunities for our

students, staff and community. Parents are encouraged to participate

in the activities of our P.T.O. We have four scheduled meetings per

year and notification is sent home before each meeting. We look

forward to your attendance.

Cell Phones/Radios/Tape Players/Cards/Toys/Etc:

Students are not permitted to bring cell phones, IPods, radios,

tape players, trading cards, toys, comics, etc. If any of these items

are brought to school they will be taken and returned only to the

parents.

School Day:

Schools hours are 7:30 am until 2:30 pm. Students arriving after

7:50 am must be signed in at the office by the parent/ guardian and will

be counted tardy. Students may get out of their cars and enter the

building at 7:30 am. Prior to 7:30 am the school is not open and

teachers are not on duty to supervise students.

In the afternoon students must be picked up by 2:30 pm. Many

teachers have meetings and conferences to attend in the afternoon.

We appreciate parents/guardians making every effort to be here on time

in the afternoons.

Selling/Trading/Borrowing/Lending/Buying:

When students bring personal items to school, problems usually

occur. These practices tend to cause misunderstandings among

students. Students are often “cheated” or have items stolen from

them. Selling and trading are not permitted at school or on the school

buses.

Student Check Out Procedures:

All students must be checked out through the office.

Office staff will check identification as needed.

Parent permission must be provided to the school for a student to

be checked out by anyone other than the parent or guardian.

If the parents are divorced or separated, their child may be

released to either parent unless the school has been provided with

a copy of a court order or a separation agreement that specifies

one parent as primary custodian of the student or which

specifically prohibits the non-custodial parent access to the child.

Students will not be called to the office for checkout until the

person picking up the student has been appropriately identified.

A student checkout log will be kept in the office, which includes

the signature of the person checking out the student, the

student’s name, purpose of checkout, time and date.

Tobacco:

The Randolph County School Board has adopted a 100% tobacco

free school policy. This policy prohibits all tobacco use by everyone,

everywhere on campus, at all times including school events even after

regular school hours. This policy also prohibits students from bringing

tobacco products on campus.

Transportation Changes:

It is very important to the New Market faculty and staff to be

sure all children get home safely each afternoon. All transportation

changes different from your child’s regular way home should be sent by

the parent or guardian to your child’s teacher in writing. Only for

absolute emergency reasons should calls be made to the school for a

transportation change. This policy is for the safety of your child.

Visitors:

We are excited to see you when you come to visit! We know the

students enjoy seeing their families come to school whether to eat

lunch, share a snack or activity with the class, or to volunteer. Upon

your arrival, please report to the school office. For the safety of our

students, all visitors are required to sign in and receive a visitor’s

badge. Please note that no unauthorized person is allowed to go to the

classroom without permission or a visitor’s badge from the office.

Anyone who does not have a badge will be sent back to the office by

the teacher or other school personnel.

Website:

The Randolph County School System provides an excellent website

that can provide many links of interest for parents. To access this

website you can type in: www.randolph.k12.nc.us By logging on to this

site, you can follow the school link directly to New Market’s Website.

Weekly Folder:

Each Monday your child will bring a weekly folder home containing

work samples, graded papers, important information, etc. Please look

carefully over these items. This weekly folder is one of the ways that

the school and home can communicate.
