**No Walk-ins!** Parents are not to enter school or hallways during dismissal. All students will be picked up after school in the car line. Students with older siblings will be escorted to the area of the eldest sibling to simplify pick-up procedures for families. If students do not have an older sibling, they will be picked up in their designated drop-off area. Afternoon Dismissal Schedule Pre-K will dismiss at 2:30 PM. **Any student needing early dismissal must be picked up before 2:00 p.m. Parents may go to the front desk and request to have their child called from his/her class. Pick-up As new construction progresses on FBC Worship Center, our drop-off and pick-up may periodically change. The school will provide clear instructions for any needed changes. After Care After Care hours are 3:15-5:30. Any student who goes to after care, will go to the elementary side (“the big room”) for pick-up. After care stays in the “big room” after regular dismissal time. You must be signed up for before/after care. You can pick up forms at the front desk. Safety tips and guidelines Please make sure your ignition is turned off in the mornings when you walk your child(ren) into school. Please make sure child’s car seat is on the sidewalk-side door for safety of children when being loaded in the car in the afternoon. Make sure car is in ‘PARK’ when the vehicle is stationary. Never double park or pass around a stopped vehicle. Please refrain from using a cell phone during drop-off and pick-up. God's Word is taught daily to all students. A Bible lesson is taught by the teachers each day. Every subject is taught from a Biblically integrated point of view. Pre-K3 and Pre-K4 participate in Scripture memorization. The King James version is used for all Scripture memory in order to maintain uniformity. However, teachers may use other Biblical versions to give students a better understanding of God's Word. A
Eagle News - A weekly newsletter will be posted on line with dates of upcoming events as well as any important announcements concerning students or the school. It is the policy of FBCA to communicate with parents about their child’s progress. Approximately every six weeks a Phonics evaluation form will be sent home by the teacher. Class work will be sent home daily, along with a daily conduct sheet, in the students' folder (Bee Book). Teachers are encouraged to telephone parents, send notes, or arrange conferences to discuss the progress of any student whose academic progress, conduct, or attendance is not satisfactory. Social Media Social media has become an effective way to communicate between the school and community. It can have a huge influence on learning since it involves collaboration between students, parents, and teachers. FBCA parents and students are encouraged to act responsibly and respectfully at all times. Any differences of opinion or misunderstandings relating to policies, faculty/staff, etc. should not be handled in public forums like social media. The "Matthew 18 Principle" should be applied. CONDUCT DISCIPLINE POLICY A realistic attitude toward toddlers and preschoolers is necessary to maintain proper discipline. Our goal for discipline is designed to teach correct behavior – its motive is love, correction, and restoration, not punishment. In order to teach and encourage children toward good behavior, each classroom has established positive rules and guidelines. Unacceptable behavior is generally defined as follows: An action that interferes with the child’s progress or his/her classmates. This involves a child working well within a group setting that their actions do not consume so much time from the teacher, that it becomes unfair to the other children in the group An action that could possibly cause physical or emotional harm to the child or his/her classmates An action in direct violation of a well-explained rule. Children understand that you, as a parent, have chosen to put them under the care, protection, and authority of their teacher. Therefore, you expect them to listen carefully and to obey the teacher’s words of instruction. An act of willful disrespect toward the teacher When a child does not follow these guidelines: First - He/she will be reminded of the rules. The teacher works with the child to achieve necessary changes in behavior through positive
