From the Principal <strong>February</strong> 2008<br />
New Procedures—Please Read<br />
Dear <strong>Eastvalley</strong> Families,<br />
It is our ultimate responsibility to keep your child(ren) safe here at <strong>Eastvalley</strong> and we take that job very<br />
seriously. We also need to protect instructional time from interruptions as much as possible. In order to<br />
make that happen, we will be making some changes to procedures beginning January 6, <strong>2009</strong>.<br />
Please read the procedures below so that you can be clear on the new guidelines:<br />
• Any time you come into <strong>Eastvalley</strong> you must go to the office to sign in and get a visitor’s pass to wear.<br />
This includes if you are walking your child to the classroom in the morning before the tardy bell. We<br />
must have an accurate account for everyone who is in our building at all times.<br />
• If you bring your child tardy to school, you must come in to the building to sign them in. Do not<br />
drop them off and let them walk in by themselves. You may not walk them to class after the tardy bell<br />
rings as instruction will have begun.<br />
• The sign in sheet will now be in front of the secretary’s desk. Sign in on the sheet and the secretary<br />
will give you a visitor’s pass. This is to ensure that everyone in our building has signed in appropriately.<br />
• Dismissal plans need to be made with your child(ren) before they come to school. If you must change<br />
them during the day, please call 770-578-7214 or fax a change to 770-578-7216 prior to 1:00 p.m. We<br />
will no longer take dismissal changes after 1:00.<br />
• We will not dismiss students from the office from 1:45-2:30 each day. You may pick up children<br />
prior to 1:45 by going to the office and signing them out. Remember that instruction continues until 2:15<br />
so they will be missing class if you check them out early. Please try to make appointments later in the<br />
afternoon so that they do not miss instruction.<br />
Please do not ask the office staff to make an exception for your child(ren) as they are doing their best to keep<br />
each and every child safe. Please contact me if you have any questions regarding these new procedures.<br />
Thank you for understanding the need to minimize instructional interruptions and keep all students safe while<br />
in our care. We appreciate those of you who volunteer in our building and in our classrooms. The new procedures<br />
help us to know who is present in our building at all times. Have a wonderful new year!<br />

NOVAS procedimentos<br />
<strong>February</strong> 2008<br />
Prezadas Famílias da <strong>Eastvalley</strong>,<br />
Nossa responsabiliodade primordial é manter a segurança das crianças na Esatvalley e levamos isto à sério.<br />
Também devemos proteger o horário de ensino sem interrupçôes. Para que isto aconteça, faremos algumas<br />
mudanças em alguns procedimentos começando em 6 de janeiro de <strong>2009</strong>.<br />
Por favor leia os procedimentos abaixo para que saibam das novas normas.<br />
• Todas as vezes que vier à <strong>Eastvalley</strong>, você deve primeiro passar pela secretaría assinar e usar um<br />
passe de visitantes. Mesmo se a visita for para levar sua criança à sala de aula antes do sino tocar.<br />
Deveremos ter uma contagem correta de todas as pessoas que estão em nossa escola a cada momento.<br />
• Se você traz sua criança tarde, deve entrar na escola e assinar o nome da criança. Por favor não<br />
deixe que ele(a) entre sozinho(a) na escola. Você não pode escolta-lo(a) até a sala de aula depois que o<br />
sino tiver tocado e as aulas tiverem começado.<br />
• A folha de assinaturas ficará em frente da mesa da secretária. Assine seu nome na folha e a secretária<br />
lhe dará um passé de visitantes. Isto ajudará a sabermos que todos os visitantes tem se identificado apropriadamente.<br />
• Mudança de tranporte deve ser feito antes que sua(s) criança(s) venha(m) para. escola. Se por acaso necessita<br />
mudar o transporte durante o dia, por favor telephone para 770-578-7214 ou mand um fax para<br />
770-578-7216 antes das 13:00hrs. Não aceitaremos mudanças depois das 13:00hrs.<br />
• Não permitiremos saídas do estudante da secretaría entre 13:45 -14:30hrs. Você pode recorrer sua(s)<br />
criança(s) antes das 13:45 se vier à secretaría e assinar sua saída. Lembrem-se de que as aulas continúam<br />
até às 14:15hrs, então ele(a) perderá instruções valiosas se você o retira cedo. Por favor tente marcar<br />
apontamentos pela tarde para que ele(a) não perca instruções.<br />
Por favor não peça aos funcionários para abrir exceções para seu filho(a), pois eles estão fazendo o melhor<br />
para a segurança dos estudantes enquanto estão sob nossa guarda. Por favor entre en contato comigo se tem<br />
alguma pergunta sobre estes novos procedimentos.<br />
Obrigada por entender que estamos tentando diminuir as interrupções das intruções e manter todos os estudantes<br />
seguros em nossa guarda. Agradecemos aos que são voluntários na escola. Os novos procedimentos<br />
nos ajudarão a reconhecer quem esta em nossa prédio em todas as horas. Tenham um ano maravilhoso!<br />
