helpful for you and your child as they get

dressed in the morning.

*Sneakers must be of dress code compliant

colors of Black, Brown, Tan, Gray (not silver),

Blue, or White and may have one minor accent

color (e.g., piping or stripe(s) on shoe that is of

an other-than-compliant color). The entire shoe

cannot be striped. Shoe laces must be of the

same solid dress code compliant predominate

color as the sneakers or White.

*Shoes, boots, sandals (must be with a back

strap), or clogs (must be with a back strap) are

permitted and must be Solid-color Black, Brown,

Tan, Gray, Navy Blue, or White. Shoelaces must

color as this footwear, and must be tied.

*Students are permitted to wear boots that are

dress code compliant. However, garments are not

permitted to be tucked into the boot.

*Hair bands, hair elastics, and all other hair

accessories must match any of the approved

clothing colors.

with 25,000 books and countless

children? If this sounds fun to you, the library

could use your help. We need volunteers to help

with circulation, shelving books, processing new

books, and working on special projects. We offer

on-the-job training and the benefit of unlimited

checkout of books. If you have two or more

hours per week to spend with us, please call

Free & Reduced Breakfast & Lunch Program

We have applications for those students

who qualify for free/reduced lunches (based on

degree of need). Applications were sent home in

the beginning the school year; however, if you

did not receive one, please let us know. We want

to make sure everyone who is eligible has an

opportunity to participate in our free and

reduced breakfast and lunch program.

Student Arrival

Our expectation is that students be in

their classroom prior to 9:02 AM. All Polk buses

are scheduled to arrive by 8:52 am, and students

arriving after this time are rushed and miss key

parts of the morning routine. Please have

students arrive in a timely fashion. Arrival after

instruction begins (9:02 AM) is considered tardy.

Student Drop-off Procedures

Students and families are not permitted

in the building prior to 8:52 AM unless they have

a previously scheduled appointment. Buses will be

dropping off students at the front of the

building beginning at 8:52 AM. The driveway

directly in front of the school is off-limits to

cars from 8:30 AM – 9:00 AM. Please do not

drop them off and watch them from your car. To

ensure the safety of our students and staff,

please maintain a safe speed at all times when

dropping your children off in the parking lot.

Weather Related Cancellations

Early Dismissal - All after-school events

and activities will be canceled.

No School – All school-related events

and activities will be canceled.

PPL Electric Utilities will provide Take Action at Home community forums on October 17th from 6:00-7:00 PM (during the Family Night) focusing on energy saving behaviors, technologies, and how to save money on utility bills. Each household that attends will receive a free “Take Action at Home Kit,” which includes energy efficient technologies. In addition, PVI can earn an educational grant, based on participation, by hosting the forum.

K-3 Schedule for One-Hour Delay

Classes will begin one hour later with no

disruption to the day.

Specials will begin at 10:24 (Beginning of

period 3). Lunch and the Kindergarten day

will otherwise go as normal.

Breakfast is served when school is delayed.

K-3 Schedule for Two-Hour Delay

Classes will begin two hours later.

Breakfast is NOT served when school is

delayed.

Specials begin at 11:38

Kindergarten will follow the modified

schedule as described below.

Modified Kindergarten Schedule

Our school district always defers to the

safety of our school children when making

decisions as to holding classes on days when the

weather turns nasty. Often times a “delay” in our

start time will allow for roads to be cleared and

for better visibility for our drivers. However,

the impact of a two-hour delay costs us the loss

of many of our AM sessions and requires us to

“balance” attendance at the end of the year.

To address this, we provide a Modified

Kindergarten schedule that will yield shorter

sessions, but allow for no loss of the AM classes.

In the event the school district implements a

two-hour delay, we will operate under the

following time schedule. Please note this

schedule and post it in a prominent place in your

home.

Kindergarten Two-hour Delay

AM pickup time is two hours beyond normal time.

AM buses arrive ~ 10:52 AM

AM classes begin ~11:02 AM

AM dismissal ~ 1:15 PM (one hour later

than normal)

PM pickup time is one hour beyond normal time.

PM buses arrive ~ 1:15 PM

PM classes begin ~ 1:25 PM

PM dismissal ~ 3:37 PM

Classroom teachers will communicate to

you as to what the expectations are those days

(snack, modified instructional components,

rescheduling special events, etc.). Please

understand that your decision to have your child

attend on “modified schedule days” will be at

your discretion, based on the conditions of the

roads in your area.

Early Dismissal Procedures Due to Inclement

Weather

In the event of an early dismissal, AM

Kindergarten students will be held at the school

and dismissed with the students in grades 1-3.

There will be NO PM Kindergarten. Students in

grades 1-3 will be sent home on the bus they

normally take home from school. Morning

Kindergarten students will be sent home on

the same bus they come to school on.

Depending on the time of the dismissal,

lunch may be served to students. AM

Kindergarten students will be provided with some

form of extra snack or lunch on these days.

Every attempt will be made by the school to

contact parents of AM Kindergarten students in

the event of an early dismissal. PM Kindergarten

parents and ALL parents are encouraged to

listen to the radio or watch the major television

stations on inclement days.

There are times that, as a result of

inclement weather or a failure in the power

and/or heating systems of the schools, or for

other emergency safety concerns, it is necessary

to close the schools of the school district either

before the school day has begun or during the

school day. If there is a need to enact a closing,

announcements will be made immediately through

the appropriate media, and a Connect-Ed

automated phone message will be generated.

Students and their parent(s)/guardian(s) can

also tune in to local radio or TV stations for this

information. Parent(s)/Guardian(s) of

Kindergarten students should also pay particular

attention to possible delays in bus pickups, late

arrivals home, or early dismissals and are

responsible to listen to public announcements

regarding weather emergencies. Please refrain

from contacting the school office or central

administration to obtain information regarding

school closures or early dismissals.

Also, parent(s)/guardian(s) are respon-

sible to develop a plan for dealing with instances

where children will be dismissed early from

school and to inform their children about what to

do or where to go in the case of an early

dismissal. This should be done early in the school

year so that all children are properly prepared

for early dismissal at any time.

In the case of inclement weather occurring at times when school is in session, please turn on your radio or television to one of the stations listed below to find out about early dismissals or cancellations:

Information on any upcoming early dismissals

There are times that, as a result of

inclement weather or a failure in the power

and/or heating systems of the schools, or for

other emergency safety concerns, it is necessary

to close the schools of the school district either

before the school day has begun or during the

school day. If there is a need to enact a closing,

announcements will be made immediately through

the appropriate media and a Connect-Ed

automated phone message will be generated.

Students and their parent(s)/guardian(s) can

also tune in to local radio or TV stations for this

information. Parent(s)/Guardian(s) of Kinder-

garten students should also pay particular

attention to possible delays in bus pickups, late

arrivals home, or early dismissals and are

regarding weather emergencies. Please refrain from contacting the school office or central administration to obtain information regarding school closures or early dismissals. Also, parent(s)/guardian(s) are respon-

sible to develop a plan for dealing with instances

where children will be dismissed early from

school and to inform their children about what to

do or where to go in the case of an early

dismissal. This should be done early in the school

year so that all children are properly prepared

for early dismissal at any time.

and community members to discuss and plan for

programs and activities to promote a knowledge

and acceptance of diversity. Parents/guardians

are always encouraged to become part of this

Nurse’s Corner

Calling all Emergency Sheets…

The emergency sheet

provides the nursing staff with

important information that assists us in caring

for your child. Please remember to complete

both sides of the sheet with all the requested

information (telephone numbers, cell phone

numbers, addresses, health concerns, email

address, etc.) to the best of your ability. Sign

the bottom of the front sheet, as well as the

back sheet under physical/dental examinations if

these exams pertain to your child. Also,

remember to send in any changes, telephone

numbers – home, cell, and work - as well as new

addresses and any health updates to the nursing

office as the school year progresses. If your

child has received any new immunizations, attach

a copy to the emergency sheet. Thank you for

your cooperation in school health.

Medication Reminder!

The administration of all medications,

prescription and nonprescription, during school

hours must be accompanied by a written

authorization signed by the doctor and the

parent/guardian. An adult must bring the written

authorization and the medication (in a properly

labeled container) to the nurses’ office. No

medication should be sent to school with your

child. Parents must bring all medication and give

the medication to the school nurse. The

medication policy can be found at

www.pvbears.org, School Board Policy No. 210,

and a medication form can be obtained from the

school nurse or print form 210-AR. Students may

carry and self-administer emergency medications

during school hours with written authorization

from the physician specifically stating that the

student may carry the medication and is

competent to self-administer the medication.

Immunization Requirements

If your child has received any

immunizations, please remember to send an

updated copy of their immunization record from

the physician to the school nurse. Students are

granted an eight-month provisional enrollment

when they lack the required Pennsylvania State

required immunizations. Students who do not

submit documentation from their physician that

they have received the required Pennsylvania

State required immunizations, will be excluded

from school after the eight-month provisional

enrollment period and will not be allowed to

attend school until the proper documentation is

received from the physician.

Fall Celebrations

Polk will be participating in a school-wide

fall celebration on Thursday, October 31st.

Students in Kindergarten through 3rd Grade will

have the opportunity to dress in costumes and

participate in organized classroom activities. We

will not be parading outside of the building. If

you prefer that you child not participate in these

activities, please send a note to your child’s

teacher by Friday, October 25th. Alternative

activities will be provided, thereby avoiding an

unexcused absence.

It is important that our parents help us

keep Halloween as a fall celebration that

recognizes the traditions of the season with

themes that are appropriate for an elementary

school. We are asking that parents adhere to the

following when sending costumes to school.

(Costumes should not be worn to school):

1. Costumes should reflect elementary

themes, cartoons, etc. and avoid any

violent or bloody themes.

2. We are still adhering to a policy that no

weapons be reflected with the costumes

(no type of swords, guns, knives, etc.)

3. Colored hair spraying is not permitted. 4. Children bringing costumes to school

must be able to dress themselves.

5. Clothing should reflect good taste and

not fall outside our dress code.

6. Please avoid using cosmetics or “makeup”

as it tends to wear, run and get on

objects and/or clothing.

Please be aware that students must wear

dress code compliant clothing to school.

Costumes should be brought to school to change

into for the classroom activities and students

will change back into their school dress before

departure from the building.

Thank you for your cooperation. We look

forward to a happy and safe Halloween.

We will be forwarding information home

to you about supporting our efforts in providing

more nutritional and healthy snack choices as

part of our Halloween celebrations.

Counselors’ Corner

Parents as Partners

We all

want to help our

children be successful

at school. During these

times of increased

mandates due to NCLB

and the pressure of high

stakes testing, the home-school partnership is

more important than ever. Parents and educators

must work together to gain a better

understanding of one another.

Parental involvement is a key element in a

child's success in school. To put it simply,

students who have involved parents do better in

school. Many educators love when parents

volunteer in the classroom, support children by

checking homework, and attend school events to

support their children. The involvement of

parents helps to build a stronger school

community.

The Home-School Partnership is About Balance

Some parents care so much about their

child's success that they can become too

involved in the day-to-day routine. When this

happens, the child is being set up for failure, not

success. The home-school connection needs to be

about balance. Children need to be allowed to

make their own mistakes, which often lead them

to learn valuable lessons. Mistakes help to build

resiliency and provide life lessons that will help

them in the future when they enter adulthood.

The following are some ways to help children

negotiate their way through school:

Allow your children to complete tasks

on their own. Some of these tasks might

include picking up their bedroom, helping

with dishes, and/or taking out the

garbage. It is also beneficial to allow

children to work out their problems

independently before jumping in to

provide support. If you find that they

are struggling even after putting forth

their best effort, it is a good time to

intervene.

Praise your children when they demonstrate

responsibility. Statistic: For every ONE positive

comment, a child hears TEN negative. Children

can never hear that you love them enough. Let

them know it every day.

Take advantage of teachable moments.

When a child neglects a responsibility, it

is a perfect time to teach them about

making mistakes and accepting

responsibility. Help your child develop

coping skills so that they can manage

their emotions appropriately when they

encounter a problem – a necessary skill to

navigating life.

You are the role model. No one makes a

larger impact on their children than their

parents. Spend some quality time with

your children because that is what they

really want from you. Recognize that

there will be times when your child will

be frustrated by a difficult task. Resist

the temptation to solve the problem

yourself. Problem-solving skills are a

necessary skill for life. Your child will

learn and grow from this experience and

will emerge with confidence to face the

next challenge.

Better Understanding

During these times of financial stress, defeated

school budgets and major budget cuts, this is an

important time for educators and parents to get

a better understanding of one another. Both

groups share a common goal, which is to educate

children, but there are times when educators

and parents have different ideas on how that

goal can be accomplished.

Communication is the most important element in

creating a positive school culture between

parents and educators.A successful school

community includes students, staff, teachers,

and parents. All of those stakeholders have the

opportunity to form important bonds that can

last a lifetime. Just like any relationship, the one

between home and school takes time,

commitment, and trust. However, the benefits of

a strong relationship between school and home

can outweigh the work it takes to get there.
