Call the Attendance
Secretary at 898-0352 prior to 9:30 a.m. to let her know why your child
will be absent. There is an answering machine at this number for your
convenience. Be sure to send a note to the teacher when your child
returns following an absence.
-
What do I do if my
child needs to take medicine at school?
-
Prescription
medication must be in the original bottle with the prescription label
on it. Non-prescription medication must be in a labeled container.
Parents must send a note giving the nurse permission to dispense the
medication along with necessary instructions regarding dosage amount
and the time of day for administration.
-
May I pay for my
child's lunch in advance?
-
You may pay
as much as $99 in advance to be held in a computerized account. Checks
should be made out to Seaford Elementary and payment goes directly to
the cafeteria manager. There are three student lunch account
categories, breakfast, lunch, and ala carte. All checks should specify
how the money is to be deposited.
-
May parents visit
during lunch?
-
Parents are
always welcome for lunch. Please pick up a visitor's badge in the front
office. We ask that you meet your child's class in the cafeteria rather
than in the classroom or hallway.
-
How do I pick up my
child early from school or deliver an item during the day?
-
Come to the
office and sign your child out. We will call them out of class over the
intercom. Send a letter to the teacher letting them know you will be
picking your child up early so that they can be sure all assignments
have been written down.
Please make
every effort NOT to pull your child out during the school day.
-
If
your
child needs an item that was left at home, we will contact the
classroom and have the student pick up the item at a convenient time.
The 1:00 dismissal days this year are: October 6,october 19,
November 22, December 8,December 21, January 23-25, March 2,March
30, May 11, and June 12-14. Please try to
make appointments on these days.
-
What do I do if I
want to pick my child up at the end of the day?
-
If you are
picking your child up, sign the "All Call" clipboard in the office
prior to 3:10 p.m. so that your child's name can be read over the
afternoon announcements. "All Call" students will be asked to report to
the office area. For safety purposes, we need to see your child leave
with you.
-
Why can't I park in
front of the building to drop off or pick up my child?
-
This area is
for dropping off and picking up students who ride buses. To have
students and cars mixed in with the buses is a serious safety concern.
Cars may park in the parking spaces in front of the school only between
the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 2:45 p.m.
-
What do I do if my
child is going home with another child on the bus?
-
All requests
for bus changes must be in writing from the parent. Tell your child to
bring the note to the office first thing in the morning and we will
give them a bus pass. Your child gives the bus pass to the bus driver;
so the driver knows they have permission to ride a different bus.
-
What should I do if
my child can not participate in P.E. because of an injury?
-
If a student
will miss three (3) or more days of P.E., he/she will need a
doctor's note. If it is less than three (3) days, parents should send a
note to the school nurse. An inability to participate in P.E. is
applied to participation in other outside activities.
-
How do I contact my
child's teacher?
-
Feel
free to call the school at 898-0352 and leave a message requesting that
the teacher contact you. Do not expect to have a teacher called out of
class to take your phone call. Teachers are asked to return all phone
calls within 24 hours. Also, remember to use the agenda to request
teacher contact or exchange information. You may also send your child's
teacher an e-mail. Visit the Staff Email
page on the Seaford website to
find his/her email address.
