SUPERVISION
Supervision begins at 8:50 am on the playground and ends at dismissal. After arriving at school, students may participate in our breakfast program, visit the playground, or participate in the morning run program. All children should be off campus within 10 minutes after the last bell rings. Students are not allowed to go to classrooms or loiter in the hallways during morning supervision. There is no supervision provided by staff after school. Students, staff, and visitors are expected to avoid disruption by quietly passing classes in session.
On rainy mornings starting at 8:50, students are to report to their classroom.
ADULTS ON CAMPUS
After 9:05 a.m., no adult will be allowed on campus unless they have a previously schedule appointment. If your child arrives late, the office staff will walk them to their classroom. All staff is directed to check that any non-employee adult on campus has a visitor's pass. Any adult on campus without a pass will be redirected to the office to sign in and obtain a pass.
Adults are expected to adhere to the Adult Code of Conduct and conduct themselves appropriately for an elementary school site (ie: appropriate language, attire, and behavior).
Adult Code of Conduct
Language: Please ensure that all language used is respectful and appropriate. Our children look up to us as role models, and we must set a positive example in our speech.
Behavior: We ask that all interactions on campus be conducted with kindness and respect. This includes interactions with students, staff, and other parents. Any form of aggressive or inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated.
Respect for School Rules: Please adhere to all school rules and guidelines while on campus. This helps us maintain a safe and orderly environment for everyone. Any adult displaying inappropriate behaviors will be directed to leave the premises.
ANIMAL-FREE CAMPUS: SUPERVISION
Under Administrative Procedure 5150 and related Municipal and Civic Codes, pets/animals (other than service animals) are not permitted anywhere on school grounds at any time except for living specimens and those utilized for instructional purposes. This includes bringing an animal to drop off or pick up your child at the end of the day. Animals can be unpredictable in new situations. Some students and/or staff may be allergic to them. It is for these reasons that district policy dictates that we not have pets on campus during school hours. Thank you for your cooperation.
CELL PHONES
Cell phones are not necessary for elementary school. If phones are brought to school, they should not be seen or heard throughout the entire school day. Personal telephones are not to be used between school hours, i.e. between 8:50 a.m. – 3:40 p.m. Any cell phone that is used between 8:50 – 3:40 PM or rings during school hours will be confiscated and taken to the office. The cell phone will need to be picked up by the parent in person from the principal. We are not responsible for lost or stolen phones or other electronics. Social arrangements need to be made at home.
Theft or loss of such devices will not be investigated by school personnel. Students bring such devices at their own risk. Juarez will not be liable for any thefts. Please see the Cell Phone Policy. Read, sign, and return the affidavit to your child’s teacher. Unauthorized use of these devices disrupts the instructional program and distracts from the learning environment. Repeated unauthorized use of such devices may lead to disciplinary action. Students and parents are reminded that during an emergency situation, cellular sites may be overwhelmed due to a high volume of calls. Should this occur, emergency communication could also be affected. It is important that cell phones and other devices be used sparingly so that emergency services have priority to assist the students and staff on the site.
Please see the Cell Phone Policy. Read, sign, and return the affidavit to your child’s teacher.
Student Telephone Calls
Student use of school phones is for emergencies only. This is up to the teacher and/or office staff's discretion. They are encouraged to bring all needed materials and assignments to school without the need to call home for forgotten items. Please make sure to make arrangements with your child before leaving home in regard to transportation, lunch money, homework, childcare, and after-school activities. If they are going home with a friend after school, arrangements need to be made before they come to school as calling to make last-minute arrangements will not be allowed.
If an urgent personal message is necessary for your child or your child's teacher, please call the school office and office staff will assist you. It is not appropriate for parents to be calling or texting staff on their cell phones during the instructional day. Phone calls will not be put through to the classroom during instructional time unless it is an emergency. At Juarez, instruction takes priority, thus our office staff has been instructed to make every effort not to interrupt classrooms during instruction, and therefore, will not put phone calls through to the classrooms.
