  1. Briarwood Elementary School 2011-2012 Student Handbook Briarwood Elementary School 265 Lovers Lane Bowling Green, KY 42103 (270) 782-5554 Jason Kupchella – Principal JoAnna Jones – Assistant Principal

  2. Briarwood Elementary • July 5, 2011 • Dear Briarwood Parents and Students: • I hope this letter finds you all having a wonderful summer break. As we approach the start of another school year, I wanted to take a few moments to inform you of a few things that will hopefully ensure a smooth start to the 2011-2012 school year. • The front door will not be unlocked until 7:40 A.M. Students are not to be dropped off prior to 7:40 unless they are a paid participant of the Community Education Morning Program. • Open House will be Sunday, August 7th from 2:00 – 4:00. Parents and students may meet their teachers and tour the classrooms. Kindergarten has a separate open house on Friday, August 5th. (Boys: 4:30-5:00 and Girls: 5:15-5:45). We will also have agenda books ($10), Briarwood T-shirts ($10), and car decals ($5) for sale at open house. Agenda books are to be used by all students in grades 3-6. Please take time to fill out our Emergency Cards at Open House as well. It is imperative that these are filled out correctly and updated when necessary. • A volunteer training will take place following Open House on the 7th. Please remember that if you plan to chaperone a field trip or volunteer in our classrooms, you must have this training and a criminal records check. • The first day of school is Tuesday, August 9th. Students will report directly to their classrooms. Our first morning meeting in the gym won’t take place until Friday, August 12th. • Each school day begins at 8:10. Students that arrive after 8:10 will be considered tardy. Once a child has received a total of 6 unexcused tardies and/or absences, he or she will be considered truant per state law and the court system will be notified. • Parents and other family members are always welcome at Briarwood. However, please remember all visitors must sign in at the front office and receive a visitor’s pass. • Please be patient with the car-rider line for the first week or so of school. It is our goal to have all cars through the car-rider loop in 15-20 minutes, but it will take a little time as new parents and students learn the routine. Always remember that you must use Ironwood (not Steeplechase). It would also be a good idea to write the name of your child on a piece of paper and place it in the dashboard until the staff becomes familiar with your car. • The front sidewalk cannot be used to drop off students, nor may students be allowed to walk in from the parking lot unsupervised. If you do not wish to use bus transportation or the car-rider loop, you must park and walk your child in to the building. • Medication must be brought to school by a parent and be in the original container. A medication form must be completed. Warren County Board Policy prohibits medication from being sent to school by a child. This does include over-the counter medication. • Our Family Resource Center will be conducting a Food Drive at the beginning of the school year. We are asking the following items be donated to help our Briarwood families: Kindergarten-Juices, 1st-soups, 2nd-tuna or chicken canned meat, 3rd-noodles, spaghetti, or pasta sauce, 4th-peanut butter, 5th-canned vegetables or fruits, and 6th-cereals. If you want to bring the items to Open House, we will have an areas to receive them. • Once again, we will have a large number of students. Please understand that it is necessary to follow the guidelines for the safety of all of our students. We are looking forward to an outstanding year. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns. I can be reached at 782-5554 or jason.kupchella@warren.kyschools.us. • Sincerely, • Jason Kupchella - Principal Home of the Huskies Jason Kupchella Principal 265 Lovers Lane Bowling Green, KY 42103 Phone: (270) 782-5554 Fax: (270) 746-9264

  3. 2011-2012 Calendar • August 9 – First Day of School • September 5 – Labor Day • October 3-7 – Fall Break • November 8 – Election Day • November 23-25 – Thanksgiving Break • December 19-January 2 – Christmas Break • January 16 – Martin Luther King Day • February 20 – President’s Day • March 15-16 – PD Days • April 6-13 – Spring Break • May 22 – Election Day • May 24 – Last Day for Students • **This year, we have make-up snow days built into the calendar. For example: If we miss a day of school prior to December 19th, then we would come to school on the 19th instead of it being part of Christmas Break. Hopefully, this will keep us from having to extend the calendar long into the summer. • Dec. 19th • Dec. 20th • Jan. 7th • Jan. 14th • Feb. 4th • Feb. 11th

  9. Attendance Warren County Schools, in cooperation with Mrs. Amy Milliken, Warren County’s Commonwealth Attorney, believes that in order to learn; become productive citizens; and develop good habits that will carry over to their adult life; regular and punctual attendance in school is essential. School starts at 8:10 and ends at 3:10 Please call the school prior to 9:00 A.M. if you child is going to be absent. Follow each absence with a note that includes the date of the absence, the child’s full name, parents name, and cause for absence. Notes are to be presented no later than five days from the date of the absence in order for them to be excused. In the event that a student misses 10 or more days, a statement from the doctor will be necessary in order for the absence to be excused. **The court system does not differentiate between a tardy and an absence. Your child is considered habitually truant and must be referred to the court system after 6 or more unexcused absences/tardies. Attendance Policy – Warren County Board Plicy 4390.01 states that pupils are required to attend school regulary and punctually. 4390.02 states: Any pupil who has been absent from school without a valid excuse for three (3) or more days, or tardy for three (3) or more days without a valid excuse is truant. Absence for less than half a school day without a valid excuse shall be regarded as being tardy. A pupil who has been reported as a truant (3) or more times (absent or tardy nine (9) or more times without a valid excuse) is a habitual truant. Parents will be notified when absences/tardies become a concern. This documentation will begin once a child has three or more unexcused absences/tardies with a phone call or face-to-face conversation. Letters will be sent home on the after 5 unexcused absences/tardies and a home visit will be made on the 6th unexcused absence/tardy. All of this documentation will then be turned over to the Truant Officer of Warren County. A court date will then be assigned by the Court System.

  10. Search & Seizure Policy  Regular Inspection  School property, such as lockers and desks, are jointly held by the school and the student. School authorities have the right to conduct general inspection of all such property on a regular basis. During these inspections, items which are school property, such as overdue books, may be collected. Students should not expect privacy to items left in such locations. A single desk or locker may be searched if reasonable grounds exist to believe that evidence of a violation of the law or a school rule is contained therein. Reasonable Suspicion  No pupil's outer clothing, pockets, or his or her personal effects (e.g., handbags, backpacks, etc.) shall be searched by authorized school personnel unless there are reasonable grounds to believe the search will reveal evidence that the pupil has violated or is violating either a school/district rule or the law. Search of a pupil's person shall be conducted only with the expressed authority of the Principal or designee. Authorized Personnel   Searches of a pupil's person or his/her personal effects shall only be conducted by a certified person directly responsible for the conduct of the pupil, or the Principal, or designee. Witness   When a search of a pupil's person is conducted, the person conducting the search shall have a witness. Personal Searches   No search of a pupil shall be conducted in the presence of other students unless the situation warrants immediate attention. Strip Searches   No strip searches of students shall be permitted.  Illegal Items Illegal items (e.g. weapons, drugs, etc.) or other possessions reasonably determined by proper school authorities to be a threat to the pupil’s safety or to the safety of others may be seized by school officials.  Other Disruptive Items   Items which may be used to disrupt or interfere with the educational process may be removed from the student's possession by a staff member. Such items may be returned to the pupil or pupil’s parents by the staff member or through the Principal’s Office. Use of Video Cameras Video cameras may be installed in areas used for instruction and transportation to record student behavior. Evidence of student misbehavior recorded on video my be used to discipline students. Failure to Cooperate Students who fail to cooperate with school authorities when requested shall be subject to disciplinary action.

  11. Cell Phone & Paging Devices Warren County Policy 4190.01 states: During the school instructional day or while being transported on any Warren County school bus, no student shall use or activate a personal telecommunications device while on school property or while attending a school-sponsored or school-related activity. Exceptions may be made by the Principal on a case-by-case basis. A personal telecommunications device is defined as one that emits an audible signal, vibrates, displays a message, or otherwise summons or delivers a communications to the processor. All phones are considered paging devices. Warren County Policy 4190.02 states: A person who discovers a student in possession of a paging device in violation of this action shall report the violation to the appropriate school administrator, who shall confiscate the device. Other disciplinary action by be evoked at the school level. (KRS 158.165) Homework Policy Site-based policy 20.04 states that students attending Briarwood Elementary School will have homework assigned and that it will vary with each grade level. Homework assignments will be meaningful and appropriate practice for what the child is learning in the classroom. The basic rule of thumb would be for homework that would take no more that ten minutes per grade level. It is our intention that homework will be used to reinforce skills hat are currently being taught in the classroom.

  12. Dress Code Briarwood The teachers, guidance counselor, assistant principal, principal, and family members will deal with any situation that arises that is considered disruptive to the instructional process on an individual basis. Shorts, skirts, and dresses: must be no shorter than mid thigh length.A good measure for this is that the bottom of the shorts/skirt should extend to the fingertips when the arms are held naturally to the side of the body. Hats: (of any kind; i.e. ball caps, hats, scarves) may not be worn by male or females in school unless they are necessary for health, safety, or religious purposes.  Hats may be worn outside during recess for sun protection and during special “hat days” when announced.

The information on this card, supplied by the parent/guardian of the student, authorizes school personnel to make necessary emergency arrangements in the event of any accident or illness of the student or emergency school closing. At such times, parents are sometimes difficult to reach and treatment need not be delayed. It is necessary that we have at least three emergency numbers listed on the back of the card. Every attempt will be made to reach the parents first School personnel reserve the right to ask for identification of a person requesting access to a child. Only those individuals whose names appear on the card will be allowed to check the student out of school and/or eat lunch with the student. These cards will be available during Open House. We hope parents will take the time to fill them out at that time. The cards need to be filled out completely and accurately. Please, take your time in supplying information asked for. Should you need to take the card home and fill it out, please return the card immediately to school. This information needs to be updated throughout the school year. It is very important that you list at least two neighbors, family members or friends that you trust to make decisions concerning your child(ren). We need the phone numbers, as well as any cell numbers.

Medicine is kept in a safe, locked location with only trained personnel administering this medicine. A daily medicine log is kept in the office. School personnel are prohibited from giving Tylenol, Advil, etc. to any student unless the proper procedures as listed above are followed.
