Elgin Elementary School

Campus Information

ATTENDANCE
Students are expected to be at school each day unless they are ill. Students who are absent must bring a note the day they return to school, stating the reason for the absence. Notes should be given to the classroom teacher. Excessive absences with/without excuses could result in a court hearing. Checking students out of school before the end of the school day should be done on a limited basis.

HOMEWORK
Teachers plan homework assignments as deemed necessary and appropriate. Parents are not expected to introduce new skills to students. Reading and some skill practice may be utilized as homework to reinforce what a student has been taught at school. Teachers may ask students to maintain a homework assignment notebook.

LOST AND FOUND
All items, such as clothing, lunch boxes, notebooks, etc., should be clearly marked with the student's name. Any item found by a student should be brought to the lost and found area or given to the classroom teacher. When an article is lost, a student should check with his classroom teacher first, then the lost and found area. On announced dates, all items in the lost and found will be donated to local charities.

PARTIES
Invitations to private parties will not be distributed at school.

PERSONAL ITEMS
Radios and CD players are not allowed at school at anytime they will be confiscated.

READING GUARANTEE
In this program, the family and the school enter into an agreement to support the child’s academic progress. The goal of the Reading Guarantee is that students will read on grade level by the end of the second grade. If they are not able to demonstrate this ability, the district will provide intensive specialized instruction to assure that every child has the opportunity to reach the program goal. Parents will support this effort by ensuring regular attendance, reading with their children, monitoring homework, and attending conferences and training as requested by the school.

TARDIES
The school day begins at 7:45 a.m., students arriving after that time should report to the office to obtain a tardy slip. Tardies result in lost educational opportunities for students and are a disruption to the continuity of the classroom. Students that are tardy more than three (3) times in any nine-week period will not be eligible for perfect attendance recognition.

TOYS
Any toys, including: Gameboys, Pokemon cards, Yo-Yo’s, etc. are NOT allowed at school at any time, they will be confiscated. The school is not responsible for the theft, damage or loss of these items.

TRANSPORTATION
Elgin ISD provides bus transportation, if your child rides the bus and other arrangements need to be made, written notification should be provided to the teacher. Notification that is given early in the day is appreciated.

VISITORS
We welcome visitors to our school. All visitors should use the main entrance and sign in at the office upon arrival and sign out at the office when leaving.
