VISITING SCHOOL Parents are welcome to observe the students at work and at play within the classroom and on the school grounds. One of the best ways to understand the classroom program of your child is to visit the classroom. However, advanced arrangements are expected to avoid visiting the classroom during a critical testing period or recess. As part of D.C. Everest Board Policy 8410 school safety plan, all doors to the school are locked during the school day. Visitors will need to press a call button located near the center of the front doors to enter the building. All visitors are required to register in the school office and obtain a visitor’s pass. Visitors will need to leave an ID or car keys in exchange for a visitor badge. When dropping off students in the morning or picking up at the end of the day, parents can go no further than the lobby.
GENERAL PUPIL CONDUCT (PBIS) Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is an approach to teaching and supporting positive behaviors and meeting the needs of ALL students. This school-wide approach to discipline focuses on building a safe and positive environment in which all students can learn. The foundation of PBIS at D.C. Everest Elementary Schools consists of the four building-wide expectations: 1. 2. 3. 4.
Be Respectful Be Responsible Be Productive Be Safe
Students are expected to demonstrate good conduct, use self-control, and maintain a safe attitude by observing safety practices before, during, and after school. A team of staff and parents have worked on a plan that addresses student behavior in all areas of the school.
