Info

Textbooks The Board of Education supplies students with all the textbooks needed. Since they are valued tools of learning, they should be treated with care. To prevent unnecessary wear and tear, they should be adequately covered and labeled with the student’s name. This will limit fines for damaged or lost books at the end of the year. Students will be required to pay the replacement cost for lost or damaged books and materials. (See Appendix – Policy 3250R Textbook Fines.) Library Our library has several thousand books to inform and entertain, as well as computers with access to informational databases, and the Internet. Subscriptions include two newspapers and more than 30 magazines for student use. Our part-time librarian works with parent volunteers to maintain the library. She orders and organizes materials, often collaborating with teachers to ensure continuity with the grade level curriculum. Our Librarian, Ms.Cordaro, provides support for the teachers in aligning research materials to classroom projects. Our goal is to instill a sense of responsibility and a love of the written word by allowing students to borrow library materials weekly as they are returned. Home & School Association volunteers assist the librarian to ensure the library is a welcome place to visit. Field Trips The outside community contains many opportunities for pupils to experience real life learning situations. The regular classroom can be extended through field trips, speakers, and on-site visits. Classroom teachers supervise all field trips. Students are required to return a signed permission slip in order to attend a field trip. Students may be asked to bear the cost of the field trip including the cost of transportation and admission. Classroom parents who chaperone field trips must ride the bus with the students to and from the field trip site. Family Life Education Family Life Education is part of our health education curriculum. A summary of the curriculum is sent home prior to the start of any formal instruction. A student may be exempted from this program if the parents so desire. Parents must send a written request for an exemption. The complete Family Life Curriculum is available for inspection and review through the school office. Some Safety Ideas For safety between home and school a child should: 1. Start to school early to avoid having to rush. 2. Refrain from playing at the bus stops, which are always on a road and may be at a private residence. 3. Help other children, especially smaller ones, come to school and return home safely. 4. Refrain from touching or playing with strange dogs, cats and other animals. Dogs and other pets should be kept from following children to school. 5. Never talk to strangers, accept rides or hitchhike. 6. Learn his/her bus number, street address and telephone number. 7. Arrange a secret code word known only to your child and a parent in case your child is approached by someone who claims a parent sent them. 33

Asbestos and Water The designated person for asbestos and water monitoring at Rockaway Valley School is the school Business Administrator. Any concerns or questions about the status of asbestos conditions or water quality should be directed to him. Rockaway Valley School has been inspected for asbestos as per the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations by a qualified inspector and a complete management plan is on file for your review in the Business Office. The plan is updated every three years and was totally revised during the summer of 2008. The most visible asbestos-containing materials in the building are the vinyl asbestos tiles (VAT) that cover the floors in many classrooms. Most floor tiles that measure 9” x 9” are VAT. This tile poses no threat to the students or staff as long as it is in good condition. If you are not sure if you have VAT floors in your room, check with the school Business Administrator. Please notify him of any tile that appears to be loose or damaged. The Rockaway Valley School water system is tested quarterly for Total Coliform Volatile Organic Compounds and Standard Plate Count. We test annually for Nitrate/Nitrogen and Lead and Copper. A copy of the Annual Drinking Water Quality Report for the previous fiscal year is mailed annually to all school families and staff members by September 30 th . It is also posted in the school. If you have any problems or concerns, please notify the school Business Administrator immediately. 34
