Parent Information

Playground supervision begins at 7:40 AM M, T, Th, F, and 8:40 AM on W.  Please time your child’s arrival accordingly.

1. The goal of the plan is to assist the child to remain in school.
2. The school team should try to develop the plan with participation from the child’s parent, HOWEVER, the plan must still be developed even if the child’s parent fails to cooperate.

• Fever, vomiting or diarrhea: Your child should remain home for 24 hours after symptoms end.
• Colds / respiratory viruses: Keep your child home at the beginning of a cold.  This is also the time when one is infectious and least likely to feel well enough to participate in class.  When s/he feels better and no longer has a persistent cough, it is permissible to return to school.
• Strep throat: Your child may return to school after taking the antibiotic for 24 hours, and feeling better.
• Chicken pox: Your child should stay home until there are no new lesions and all existing lesions have scabbed over.
• Eye: Bacterial and some viral eye infections must be treated by a health care provider before the student returns to school.  If antibiotic therapy is prescribed, the student must remain home for at least 24 hours after treatment has begun.
• Open sores on skin: All skin lesions must be covered by a bandage or clothing during the school day.  This may include impetigo, ringworm, scabies, and other fungal, bacterial, or viral skin infections.

• Generalized skin rash: Any student with an undiagnosed skin rash must consult a health care provider for diagnosis and/or treatment before returning to school with a note from the health care provider.
• Head lice: Your child may return to school only after treatment.

• Medications may not be in the personal possession of students. 
• For all prescription and non-prescription medications, a student’s parent or guardian shall make a written request for school personnel to administer medications by providing a completed Medication Administration Authorization form, which is to be signed by both parent and physician. 

• A new form must be signed and submitted for each new prescription medication, non-prescription medication or dosage change. Authorization forms must be completed each year.
• Medications should always be delivered to the health room staff or office staff by an adult.
• The student must report to the health room or school office to take medications. EXCEPTION: Any student who requires the use of an inhaler or EpiPen may carry and self-administer the prescribed medication if the physician signs a specific statement on the Medication Administration Authorization form, endorsing the student’s capability for this.
• Prescription medication supplied by the student’s parents or guardian must be in a properly labeled bottle dispensed by a pharmacy.
• Non-prescription, “as needed” medications must be in the original labeled container. The bottle should also be labeled with the student’s name.
• It is the responsibility of the parent to obtain all unused medication from the school when the medication is discontinued, the school year ends, or the student transfers to another school. At the end of a school year, school staff will dispose of all unclaimed medications. 
• Parents may always come to school and administer medication to their child. 

At elementary schools, students with cell phones or other Personal Technology Devices (PTDs) must keep their PTDs turned off and away during school hours. A PTD includes, but is not limited to cell phones, wearables (watches, headphones, etc.), cameras, audio and/or video recorders and players, and all other hand-held or mobile electronic communication and data storage devices. If students have an emergency and need to use a phone, they should always ask an adult for permission to use a school phone. Please make sure that your children are clear with their after-school plan prior to coming to school.

Please refer to BVSD Board Policy: JRCT - Student Use of Cell Phones and Other Personal Technology Devices

• Students and teachers use technology to foster a culture of curiosity, creativity, and risk-taking. The tools support a personalized approach to learning where inquiry drives the learning process.
• Learning goals, not devices or apps, drive classroom engagement. Teachers and students begin with the underlying learning objectives and find the appropriate materials and tools to support instruction during the school day.

• When students use technology, they will think critically, behave safely, and participate responsibly in the digital world.

• Establish regular methods of communication with our students, colleagues and community to share why and how students use technology during the school day.

• Crest View encourages a healthy balance of technology use with other tools to support our purposeful instruction during the school day.
