Minute of Silence Virginia Law requires schools to start the day

with a ‘minute of silence’. The law allows for different

uses of the minute so that “each pupil may, in the exercise

of his or her individual choice, meditate, pray, or engage

in any other silent activity which does not interfere with,

distract, or impede other pupils in the exercise of their

individual choice.” The law also specifies “all pupils

remain seated and silent and make no distracting

display…” We begin our announcements with the

following statement, “As we begin another day, let us

pause for a minute of silence.” Following the minute of

silence, we conclude with the Pledge of Allegiance.

Please discuss this law with your students and help them

understand that the expectation is for students to remain

quiet.

Change of Address You must provide a form and proof of residency

to the Counseling Office. The Change of Address form

is located on the website under the Counseling Office.

This form and proof of residency must be submitted as

soon as possible. Proof of residency consists of a signed

lease, deed, settlement papers, mortgage statement or

deed of trust and a current utility bill.

Updates to Phone/Email Contacts

Please submit the update request online through

ParentVue. Once the request has been submitted, school staff will review it before updating the record.

Bell Schedule

Regular, Advisory Day, 1-Hour and 2-Hour

Delay bell schedules are listed on a full page towards the

end of this newsletter. Please refer to this should LCPS

adjust the school day due to weather.

Food Deliveries to School

Students may not order restaurant delivery. If

parents deliver lunch, please avoid drinks in paper cups.

The risk of a spill in the front office is too great!

Parking Lot Information Student Drop Off/Pick Up – We ask that you

drop students off and pick them up only in the front

parking lot. Please do not drop students off in the back

of the school as this area is used for athletic buses and

other specific needs.

Extended parking is not permitted in the bus

loop at any time before or after the school day.

According to the Fire Marshall, the Bus Loop is

considered a roadway and parking is not

allowed. Exemptions are buses and emergency vehicles.

Visitors should park in designated visitor spaces

only. Student spaces belong to students who have paid

for those spaces.

Please do not park in the surrounding

neighborhoods. Towing is a very possible consequence.

Parking Permits Applications may be turned in to the office.

All applications must have complete car

information, parent signature, and payment via cash or

check at the time of submission. Online payments must

also have an application turned in to the front office. The

fee for a parking permit is $200.00 for the school year or

$100.00 per semester. Parking fees are not prorated. A

few daily passes are available for a small fee per day.

Specific parking spaces are not assigned.

Parking is on a first come/first served basis within the

student lot each day. This worked very well last year as

it eliminated issues when students park in incorrect

spaces, or when snow buries some spaces for days.

Parking is a privilege and students must remain

in good standing to remain eligible to park at school.

Notes from the Bookkeeper A $10 fee is assessed for returned checks.

OBTAINING HOMEWORK DUE TO ABSENCES:

Call the Counseling Office at (571) 252-2214 by noon on

the second day of the absence to request homework when

the absence is expected to last three or more days. This will

help ensure that work will be available for pick up by the

end of the third school day.

STUDENT WITHDRAWAL PROCEDURES: The

parent/guardian MUST notify the Counseling Office and

obtain a “Withdrawal/Transfer Form” from counseling at

least three days in advance of the planned departure.

Parent/guardian is required to complete and sign the form

and return it to Counseling. The signed form will be given

to the student during their last two days of school. The

student will walk the form to classes obtaining teacher

signatures, withdrawal grades, and returning textbooks and

library books. Lockers MUST be cleaned out and PE locks

returned to the PE teacher. Before leaving on the last day,

the student will bring the completed form to Counseling.

MILITARY INFORMATION: Representatives visit the

College and Career Center monthly to talk with students

about military careers and educational choices.

designed for students and parents. It is used to help make

decisions about courses, colleges and careers. Family

Connection is linked with the Counseling Office and is used

to track and analyze data about college and career plans.

SCHOLARSHIPS AND FINANCIAL AID: The

Career Center maintains a list of scholarships

through the website. It should be checked weekly.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)

is the government’s form to determine if a student qualifies

for certain grants, federally funded work-study or low

interest loans. ALL families should complete this form on

line as soon as possible. Many merit and Loudoun based

scholarships require this form. The information required is

based on the previous tax year. Students and one

parent/guardian are required to obtain a PIN before their

FAFSA can be completed. Go to www.pin.ed.gov.

COLLEGE VISITS: Representatives visit the College and

Career Center to speak about the admission process and

their programs. Seniors and juniors must sign up on Family

Connection and print the pass for the day of the visit.

TERMS TO KNOW:

Early Action – An option to submit a college application

before the regular deadline. Admission decisions are

returned earlier. Early action is not binding, meaning the

student does not have to enroll.

Early Decision – An option to apply to the first choice

university before the regular deadline. Admission decisions

are returned earlier. Early decisions are binding, meaning

the student agrees to enroll immediately if admitted and the

financial aid package meets the student’s needs.

school. If you need to keep medication in the clinic, or if

you need to speak with the health center regarding your

student’s health care needs during the school day, please

call to make an appointment at 571-252-2215.

Please remember that all medication must be

must be picked up no later than the last day of school

according to state guidelines. All medications left after the

last school day will be destroyed. Clinic hours are 8:30-

3:45 to pick up medications. Allow plenty of time to pick

up your student’s medication. The clinic is closed during

the summer break until (tentative) August 20th. The

nurse does not check emails over the summer break.

Planning Ahead for Next Year Please check back after August 19th to make an

appointment with the nurse to drop off next year’s

medications or health care plans. Allow plenty of time to

drop off your student’s medications, as the clinic is a very

busy place. All medications must be accompanied with a

completed Authorization for Medication

Administration form. Please read the LCPS Medication

Policy found under the Medication at School hyper link.

If a student is planning to carry an inhaler or

epinephrine auto-injector, such as, an Epi-pen during the

school day or to school/sports related events, please

remember to either pick up or print out an Asthma Action

Plan or Allergy Action Plan. You may download the

forms from the website LCPS.org, click under the

The Stone Bridge Times 10

Clinic Information • The clinic’s direct line is (571) 252-2215

• If your student has any significant medical needs, please

notify the nurse even if the school has been notified in

previous school years. If your child has diabetes,

seizures, life-threatening allergies, asthma or uses an

inhaler, you should pick up forms for you and your

physician to complete so the school can understand and

address your student’s needs.

• A parent or guardian must deliver any medication

(prescription or non-prescription) to the school office

or clinic. Students should not transport any

medication to or from school. Parents are responsible

for picking up unused medication. If a student

mistakenly brings medication, he should turn it in to the

clinic immediately.

• The nurse must have written instructions from the

physician in order to administer prescription

medication.

These instructions should include:

• Student’s name.

• Name and purpose of the medication.

• Dosage and time of administration.

• Possible side effects and measures to take if they

should occur.

• End date for administering the medication.

• Parent signature giving permission to administer

medicine and to contact student’s Physician.

• Physician’s signature.

• A copy of the special “Medication Form” that should be

used appears later in this newsletter.

• All prescription medicine must be in the original

pharmacy bottle with the proper label containing the

name of the student, dosage, and instructions for

administration. If you ask, the pharmacy will give you

an extra bottle with the proper amount of medication for

school.

• If the nurse needs to give non-prescription medication, it

must be in original packaging with the name of the

medicine and instructions.

• The nurse must have a note from the parent regarding

when and how much medicine to administer.

• The nurse will only give the amount listed on the

package for your student’s age and weight and for the

recommended length of time, the student should receive

the medicine unless she has doctor’s orders on a

medication form that indicates otherwise.

• The nurse cannot administer medicine that is not in its

original container.

• Students who have fevers should be kept at home until

free of fever for 24 hours.

• All 10th graders and students new to Loudoun County

Public Schools will be screened for vision and hearing

during the first two months of school. Parents will be

notified of any concerns.

Be sure to keep the “Emergency Information” up-to-date

so that we can reach you if your student is ill or injured.

Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is the only medication

supplied by the school. The nurse must have written parental

permission in order to administer this medication. Please be

sure that the Tylenol permission information on the

emergency card is complete and that your signature is on the

form. Because Acetaminophen, in large amounts, over a

period of time, can cause liver damage, the nurse will give

only 4 doses in a 4 week period. Before a fifth dose is given,

the parent will be contacted.

STONE BRIDGE HIGH SCHOOL “Home of the Bulldogs”

Application for Season Athletic Passes 2018-2019

Season passes are good for all regular home games at Stone Bridge High School for the school year 2018-2019. This does not include playoff or tournament games. The family plan is for immediate family members living in the same house. A maximum of six members (2 adults and 4 children) can be on a family membership.

If you attend all Stone Bridge home games this year, you will spend over $500.00 on tickets. Season passes can provide a tremendous saving to families of student-athletes involved in multiple sports. Fill out the order form below, make check payable to Stone Bridge High School, and return to school either by mail or in person to the Athletic Department. For further information, please call the Athletic Department at (571)-252-2210. Thank you for supporting Stone Bridge Athletics. New this year, we will be offering an individual student pass for $75. A Student pass MUST BE PRESENTED WITH ID.

** NO SEASON PASSES WILL BE SOLD AT ATHLETIC EVENTS!! ** (Applications can be picked up at any athletic event and will be processed for use at future events)

A season pass entitles the person whose name appears on the pass admittance to any regular season home athletic event (personal I.D. must be presented with pass). The No Re-entry Rule will apply to season

ticket holders and the season pass is non-transferable. Any misuse of the pass may result in revocation without refund. For further information, contact the Athletic Department at (571)-252-2210.
