WelcomeWelcome to Central Elementary School.  We are excited about beginning a new school year.  In order to achieve a high level of success, we feel that it is important to clearly define goals for our students to reach and maintain.

School HandbookThis handbook is prepared for you, the Central Elementary School student.  It contains information about the academic curriculum, our school organizations and the school’s general regulations.  It will acquaint students and parents with CES policies. General procedures are also included; however, please be aware that situations arise from time to time that will be addressed on an individual basis.

 THE PHILOSOPHY OF

CENTRAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL The faculty and staff of Central Elementary believe that all students are capable of learning.  The school’s goal is to meet the individual needs of each student.  The teachers, counselors, librarian, and administrative staff are committed to providing social, moral, emotional and intellectual growth for all students.  School attendance, appropriate behavior, and a positive attitude play an important role in the learning of each student.  Parents, teachers, and students must maintain an open, effective line of communication in order to succeed.  Through the collective efforts of every member of the school family, we will successfully establish a strong foundation for the future leaders in society – our students.

 

Central Elementary SchoolMission Statement

 Central Elementary School will seek to provide the best educational program possible for each individual learner. Traditional teaching combined with the latest technological tools will enable each student to achieve his/her true learning potential.

Writing Across the Curriculum

Instructional Focus “What we learn, what we know, thinking critically, is what we show.”

Visitors to the SchoolCentral Elementary School requires all visitors to obtain the principal’s permission prior to visiting the school’s grounds or its buildings.  Only those persons who have presented themselves to the school's office and received approval to visit may be considered authorized to visit other areas of the school.  While on campus, visitors must adhere to the rules and policies of the school. A search by use of a metal detector by the principal or his designee(s) may be conducted on reasonable suspicion.  The principal has the authority to contact law officials to remove unauthorized persons from the school campus.

Central Elementary utilizes the following method of visitor identification:

1. Visitors must register using the Webster Parish School Board visitor’s form.2. A visitor’s pass will be issued, which must be worn at all times while on campus.3. Visitors must return visitor’s pass and sign out on the WPSB visitor’s form prior to leaving

campus.Open Door Policy

The principal welcomes visits from students, parents, and community members.  Students wishing to speak with the principal must request permission to leave class from their teacher. Students should report immediately to the school office and request a meeting with the principal. If the principal is unavailable, students will be called to the office as soon as possible.  All requests will be honored as time permits. Parents and other community members are urged to call the school office and request a meeting with the principal if the need arises. Although Central Elementary School operates under an open door policy, there may be times when the principal is unavailable.  Make an appointment to meet with the principal to ensure that no one is inconvenienced since much of the principal’s time will be spent observing teachers and students in the classroom.

Guidance OfficeOur counseling service is available to all students.  Many problems concerning both school and personal life can be helped by talking to a person trained to help students deal with problems in a constructive manner. Our school counselor will be happy to help any student. Students wishing to speak with the counselor may do so during free time, if the counselor is available, or they may make an appointment.  Students must obtain permission from a teacher before coming to the office. The office will notify the counselor, who will call students as soon as possible.

The purpose of the guidance program is to help each individual student achieve the highest possible level of mental, emotional, and social growth.  This is achieved in several ways:

1. The guidance counselor helps new students feel at home in our school with new teachers and friends in a new setting.

2. The guidance counselor meets with students and/or parents whenever students, parents, teachers or the counselor deems it necessary.

3. The counselor conducts an annual state-mandated testing program designed to help students learn more about their progress and abilities.

4. The guidance counselor encourages those in need to take the opportunity to talk things over in a friendly, non-judgmental setting.  

Parent-Teacher ConferencesParents may request a conference with any or all teachers throughout the school year.  The faculty and staff of CES believe that communication between the school and the home is of the utmost importance.  Parents are asked to call the school office and make an appointment to meet with their child’s teacher(s).  Faculty members will be happy to meet with parents at a time convenient to all parties concerned.

Change of Address/TelephoneIf at any time during the school year, a student moves to a different address or has a change in phone numbers, the change must be reported to the office immediately. Please send a hand written letter signed by parents with other documentation needed to verify residence change.

TelephoneThe office telephone is used for school business and may be used by students only in cases of emergency and with the permission of office staff.  Students cannot be called to the phone. Only messages deemed urgent will be delivered.

Bus TransportationBus transportation is provided for students residing more than one mile from school.  Students who refuse to obey the bus driver or the teachers on duty, or who fail to follow bus rules and regulations may be suspended and/or lose transportation privileges. Please talk to your child about his/her behavior on the bus. Riding the bus is a privilege and not something we are required to provide, if behavior jeopardizes other students’ safety.

Bus Infractions1st Infraction-The student will receive a verbal warning, parents will be contacted, and the bus driver will send a formal referral to the office. 2nd Infraction-The student will receive some form of punishment (ex: no recess, no canteen, no PBIS, etc.) Parents will be contacted, and the bus driver will send a formal referral to the office. 3rd Infraction- The student will be suspended from the bus, parents will be contacted, and the bus driver will send a formal referral to the office. 4th Infraction-The student will be suspended from the bus for the remainder of the year. Parents will be responsible for getting the student to and from school in a timely manner. The bus driver will send a formal referral to the office.

NOTE: Fighting or any other major infraction will be immediate suspension from the bus.

Changes in TransportationParents must write a note to their children’s teacher if there will be a change in the way their child normally goes home. Parents must notify the school office by 1:00 P.M . if their child is to ride a bus other than their usual bus or if the child is to be a car rider instead of a bus rider.

School FeesThere will be a $10.00 school fee for every student at Central Elementary School.  The money will be used for the purchase of instructional aids, student supplies, and materials for reproducing student worksheets.  Students who owe the school for school fees or any other debts will not be eligible to go on field trips, PBIS activities, or participate in extracurricular activities.

Medical InformationThe Webster Parish School Board policy toward medication at school follows Louisiana state law.  NO STUDENT MAY TAKE OR USE ANY MEDICATION AT SCHOOL UNLESS A MEDICATION FORM IS COMPLETED AND SIGNED BY THE PRESCRIBING PHYSICIAN.                                                      

This form must include:                                                   (1) name of medication; (2) illness for which medication is prescribed; (3) dosage; (4) possible side effects; and (5) how many days medication is to be given.

If this form is not completed and submitted to the school office, the parent must come to the school to dispense medication.  All medications are to be turned in to the office.  Office staff will dispense them and keep a record.

Aspirin, Tylenol, cough drops, and other over the counter medications may not be taken at school, unless administered by child’s parent or guardian.  Possession of them at school by students is a violation of the Drug Free policy of Webster Parish Schools.

To avoid having medication at school, medication ordered twice daily may be given before school and in the evening, medication ordered three times daily may be given before and after school and at bedtime, and medication ordered four times daily may be given immediately before and after school, at suppertime and before bed.

AccidentsAny accident that occurs at the school or at any event sponsored by the school must be reported immediately to the faculty or staff member supervising at the time and to the school office. An accident form will then be completed by office staff and faxed to the Webster Parish School Board.

Disaster DrillsFire drill plans and tornado procedures are posted in each classroom.  Students should study both plans and be familiar with them. When these procedures are practiced or if a real emergency occurs, students should move quickly and quietly to assigned areas and remain quiet in order to receive further directions and/or information.

Assembly ProceduresDuring the school year, students are called together on various occasions for assemblies.  Most assemblies are held in the Gym. Good conduct is always expected of students during assemblies.

Good citizenship is shown through listening and showing support for persons conducting the programs. Guests are often present at assemblies.  Student behavior is a reflection of the entire school, and misbehavior will not be tolerated. We want to make a positive impression for visitors and guests.

1. Stay seated until assembly is over. 2. Stay quite during assembly. 3. Several minutes will be allotted for student pictures after assembly is over. Students will

then line up and go back to homeroom so that students report back to teachers. Parents will check out students at the front office after assembly to ensure the safety of all students.

Cafeteria Procedures1. All students are to exhibit good conduct in the cafeteria.2. Students must walk, not run, in the cafeteria, and are not to “cut” into the serving line.3. No carbonated beverages in cans or bottles are to be brought into the cafeteria.4. No food is to be taken out of the cafeteria. 5.

Serving TimesFor the 2019-2020 school year, the Webster Parish School Board has elected to utilize the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) which allows students to eat free of charge.  ALL meals served in the CENTRAL ELEMENTARY cafeteria, Breakfast and Lunch, will be at no cost to parents. You do not have to complete a meal application for this school year.  If your child wishes to purchase extra items such as juice, you will need to send money for that.

School Tardiness

Students arriving after 7:50 A.M. in the morning will be counted as tardy. Parents must come in to the school office and sign-in tardy students.   Our state mandates that unexcused or habitual tardiness will result in disciplinary action. Students who are habitually late will be turned over to truancy.

AttendanceStudents are expected to be in school.  It is state law that personal illness (as verified by a doctor), deaths in the family or extenuating circumstances (as agreed to by the principal) are the only basis for excusing an absence.  A student with 10 or more unexcused absences will not be promoted to the next grade.  

When a student is absent, a parent or guardian should notify the school office. When an absent child returns to school, a note or doctor/dentist excuse must be sent to school explaining the absence. In case of a communicable disease (mumps, measles, chicken pox, impetigo, etc.), a doctor’s certificate to return is required.  Students are responsible for completing work missed during their absence, having been given a sufficient period of time to do so.

Webster Parish policy requires that the names of students with five or more unexcused absences or incidents of tardiness be turned to the Bossier/Webster DA in for attendance investigations. Parents or guardians may be fined in the event their child is found to have excessive or habitual unexcused absences or tardies.
