VISITORS AND VOLUNTEERS

All visitors and volunteers must sign in at the office before entering the campus. No one may be on campus without a visitors' pass. Classroom volunteers must register with the office annually, and must log in and out of the office daily. There are many ways to assist in your child's educational program - ask your child's teacher about helping in the classroom or at home. Uninterrupted learning time is valued in our school, therefore, we ask that you leave other children at home when you volunteer.

Regular school attendance is expected and required for an effective learning program and school success. All absences and tardies may be reviewed by the School Attendance Review Board.

ABSENCES
Please call the school office before 9:30 AM the day your child is absent or send a note signed by the parent stating the date and reason for the absence on the first day the student returns to school.

TARDIES
Responsible behavior includes being on time and ready to enter the classroom at 7:30. All students arriving late must check in at the office before going to class . Repeated tardies no matter how small will effect Chargers Ignite.

EARLY SIGN OUTS
All students leaving school during the school day for any reason must be signed out in the office by a parent or guardian before 1:30 Students returning to school later that same day must check back in at the office before returning to class.

DISMISSAL
To ensure student safety at dismissal time, staff members supervise students to the bus/walker/bike gates to dismiss students to their buses, or to the pickup area. Bus lane gate will be used for bus rider and bike riders. Walkers will be escorted to their appropriate dismissal gates.. All pick ups will be at the front of the school. Parents are to remain in their cars and stay in the traffic pattern entering the parking lot on Muscatel and exiting the parking lot at the opposite end. Remember, students are dismissed earlier on Wednesdays (12:45) A note from a parent is REQUIRED if there is to be any change in the normal pickup schedule.

PET POLICY
For the safety of our staff and students, please do not bring pets on school grounds before, during or after school. Any pets for “Show and Tell” purposes must have current required shots and Vet certification of good health.

BIKE RIDERS
All bike riders must have a lock for their bike and wear a helmet as required by law. Traffic safety and respect for private property are to be observed at all times while riding to and from school. For student safety, it is recommended that bike riders are living within one mile of the school. Bike riders must have parent permission and get a bike pass from the school office. The pass has both rules and consequences on the back and places for important information on the front. The student will receive three warnings when rules have been broken. Bike privileges will be lost for the remainder of the school year after three violations. Bikes are to be taken directly to the bike cage each morning. The bike rack is in a locked part of the campus, however, the school is not responsible for stolen or vandalized bikes. In the afternoon, students wait for the buses to leave before riding home. Bike riders ride at their own risk.

NO SKATEBOARDS, SKATES, BIKES, OR VEHICLES ARE ALLOWED ON THE SCHOOL GROUNDS AT ANY TIME, INCLUDING WEEKENDS. (V.C. 21113)
ALSO, SKATEBOARDS AND SKATES CAN NOT BE RIDDEN TO SCHOOL

BUS RIDERS
All students who ride a bus are to use the same bus stop every day. If a temporary or permanent change of bus stop is necessary, the parent must send a note to the office so that records can be changed and a bus pass can be issued for the teacher and driver. We expect bus riders to follow all bus safety rules. We also expect students to behave properly at their bus stop. Bus riding is a privilege, not a right, and misconduct could affect the safety of all children. When you have a question or concern, please call the District Transportation Department at 244-4022. They do their best to take care of your concerns, or they will refer you to someone who can.

PARENT TRANSPORTATION
All traffic safety laws are in effect for a school zone. Parent cooperation is expected by picking up your child following safety procedures. Students being picked up, go to the pick up gate upon dismissal. Parents MUST send a note when students are being picked up by someone other than their parent or normal pick up person.

WALKERS
Determine the safest route between your home and the school, using crosswalks. Establish time limits for a direct walk to and from school. Parents must send a note to the office if students are to walk to a different location. For safety's sake, check every once in a while to be sure that your child is traveling directly home or to school. Remind your child never to talk to or accept rides from strangers, and encourage your child to tell you if anything happens on the way to or from school that makes him/her uncomfortable.

PHONE MESSAGES
For the protection of our students and at the advice of the Police Department, phone messages are not acceptable for making a change in how a student gets home from school. “Student word” is also unacceptable. The only way for a student to be dismissed other than what is originally agreed upon is by written request or by the parent coming to school in person. In order to avoid classroom and office interruptions, students may use the phone only in an emergency. We ask that messages from home be kept to an absolute minimum, and limited to true emergencies. Student cell phones are not to be on or out during school hours unless there has been a natural disaster or emergency. Cell phones in use will be confiscated and should be picked up by a parent.
EMERGENCY CARDS
Each student is given a new emergency card every year so that parents can provide the school with current information regarding address, home and work phone numbers, and emergency phone numbers. Cell phone numbers are encouraged. The emergency numbers should be relatives or friends nearby who can care for the child in the event that a parent cannot be reached. Persons listed from “down the hill” may not be your best choice, Students will be released ONLY to persons named on the emergency card. In case of an emergency, students will remain at school until an authorized person arrives. Any changes of address, phone number, etc. must be reported to the office as soon as possible.
MEDICATION AND INSURANCE
If your child has a medical condition which requires medication, please inform the school. If at all possible, medications should be given at home. STUDENTS MAY NOT CARRY MEDICATION TO SCHOOL. This includes over the counter medications as well - even cough drops. The office can not give any medication to a child without a permission slip signed by a parent and physician. Permission slips may be obtained in the office. Also be advised that the school does NOT provide medical insurance coverage for school accidents. This means that parents are responsible for medical bills if your child gets hurt during school activities. Low-cost insurance is available through the Healthy Families Program. Call the office for further information.

IMMUNIZATIONS
Parents of fifth and sixth grade students, please be aware that your children must be immunized for Hepatitis B before entering Junior High. The Hepatitis B series involves three shots, and the entire process takes about six months.

BREAKFAST PROGRAM
Breakfast is served each morning from 7:00 to 7:25. Free and reduced meals are available to those who qualify. Student Cost: $1.25.

LUNCH PROGRAM
Students may bring their lunch from home or purchase lunch for $2.00. All students will be assigned a lunch number to enter into the cafeteria's computer system which keeps track of each child's account. Free and reduced meals are available to those who qualify. Applications are given at the HUSD Food Service Office. The number is 949-1051.
TEXTBOOKS, LIBRARY BOOKS, AND PERSONAL PROPERTY
The School District is not responsible for stolen or lost items. Personal items, such as toys, trading cards, Game Boys, Ipods, MP3 player are not permitted on campus. Students are responsible for textbooks and library books issued to them during the year. All lost or damaged books must be paid for by the student before additional books are issued.

OFFICE HOURS AND MESSAGES

The Mission Crest office is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 to 3:00. The office staff is prepared to assist with your questions during these hours. Our office staff is able to handle most requests themselves, and can refer you to the teaching staff or administration as needed.


HOMEWORK
The purpose of homework is to apply, reinforce, and extend the skills and concepts learned during classroom instruction and to develop a sense of self-discipline, personal responsibility, and the ability to study independently. In order to give students an opportunity to develop various kinds of skills, teachers will give many types of homework assignments, some of which may not be written work. Reading is one activity that will be assigned. Other assignments may include collecting information, conducting interviews, or doing research. Homework is assigned on an average of four days per week. Recommended length of homework by HUSD school board (AR 6154) K - 3 half an hour and 4 -6 is one hour. Teachers may use their discretion to vary both the length and frequency of homework in order to meet the needs of the students. Your child's teacher will inform you about the homework policy in his/her classroom and provide you with ways you can help your children at home. Parents should consult their child's teacher whenever there is a question about homework.
INDEPENDENT STUDY CONTRACTS
On those occasions when a family emergency or vacation occurs during the regular school session, parents should request an Independent Study Contract (ISC) for those days so that attendance credit is earned. Prior notice is necessary for this. Please contact the school attendance clerk or your child's teacher before the absence so that the study packet can be prepared for you.

DIVORCE/CHILD CUSTODY
If your child(ren) has special or unique custody or visitation arrangements, it is most important that you bring this to the attention of the office staff. A copy of the “Order to Show Cause” document or final divorce papers should be given to the office. California State Law allows both natural parents of a child to pick up that child from school unless court documents state otherwise. Please understand that without specific court documents to the contrary, the non-custodial parent MAY sign out and remove the child from school.



DISTRICT PROMOTION POLICY
All students must meet state and district proficiency standards each year in order to be promoted to the next grade. Your child's teacher will explain the standards to you and tell you when your child is performing below the expected levels in reading, language, and math. Together, we will develop a remediation plan to help your child reach the standards. Strategies may include summer school or after school tutoring.

REPORT CARDS AND
PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES
Report cards are prepared three times per year. In addition, teachers may meet with parents periodically to discuss student progress. It is our intent to schedule a formal conference with each parent once a year. These conferences can prove very valuable in helping us work with your child and in providing you with information concerning his or her school progress. Please make every effort to attend these conferences. Additionally, teachers are available in the morning from 7:00 to 7:25 for phone conferences or scheduled conferences with parents. Due to staff committee meetings and classroom preparation, it is recommended that conferences be scheduled in advance. Teachers are not able to meet with parents during teaching hours.

STAFF INSERVICE TRAINING
In order to better meet the needs of our students, all staff members participate in a variety of inservices, conferences, and training sessions to continue learning and to improve their professional skills. Our challenge is to increase the number of students performing at or above grade level. This year, our entire staff will increase the effectiveness of their teaching strategies in reading, language arts, and math, and continue the ExCEL model. Staff members will train together during scheduled after-school and evening staff development sessions throughout the year.

COLLABORATIVE WEDNESDAYS
Every Wednesday, students are dismissed early . The dismissal time on Wednesday is 12:35. This is to provide time for our teachers and other staff members to work together to help increase the overall effectiveness of our educational programs. Please remember that this occurs EVERY Wednesday, and that dismissal is almost an hour earlier.
COMMUNICATION
At Mission Crest Elementary, we do our very best to inform the home about schedule changes and calendars. Please look out for messages brought home by your child almost every Monday in our Monday News Folder. The “Mission Crest Chronicle” will be published and sent home at least once every two months. It contains many helpful and informative articles as well as calendars of events. Most classrooms provide weekly or monthly updates for parents about classroom activities and student progress. Do not hesitate to call whenever you're curious about a meeting or other activity.

DISASTER PREPAREDNESS
The Mission Crest staff works throughout the year preparing themselves and the students to be ready in the event of an earthquake or other emergency. Fire and earthquake drills are scheduled throughout the year to practice procedures. We provide the basics in the event of any emergency. Students are encouraged to bring an earthquake kit from home. These are kept in the classroom and given to students in the event of an emergency. The classroom teacher has more information on the earthquake kits. Parents are kept informed of specifics through the newsletter and SEPC meetings. Please be sure to let the office know whenever there is a change in your home, work, and/or emergency phone numbers.

Some suggestions for home safety are:

1. Prepare your family for an earthquake or other emergency by talking about what to do, what not to do, and where to meet in an emergency situation.
2. Prepare an “Earthquake Kit” for your family. The school or the Red Cross can help you obtain information.

TRANSFER POLICY
The purpose of an intradistrict attendance agreement (transfer) is to provide parents with choices in selecting the schools that their children may attend within the district's boundaries. The site administrator of the school of choice must approve the agreement. Requests for intradistrict transfers will be accepted unless it would cause the school to exceed the class size average limits established by the California Education Code. Transportation to and from school shall be the sole responsibility of the parent. Parents wishing to submit applications for admission to their school of choice must do so during an open enrollment period. The open enrollment period shall be announced by March 1 for the following school year. Other dates for enrollment during the school year will be available in the school office. Should the number of applications received exceed the space available at the school. Students are admitted on a first come, first serve basis by grade level.



STUDENT DRESS CODE
Students should be dressed and groomed in a manner which will not interfere with or detract from the academic process nor create a health or safety risk for any student. Students must observe the District's K-12 Dress Code Policy which prohibits the following unacceptable dress:

Dress and Grooming

Local law enforcement officials indicate that certain types of dress and colors contribute to gang association and violence. Students wearing gang attire become targets for violence even though they are not gang members. In addition, the baggy, oversized clothing now identified as gang related, presents a safety hazard since it allows students to more readily conceal dangerous objects such as knives, and other weapons or provide hiding places for drugs and drug paraphernalia. Accordingly, the following types of clothing have been identified as unacceptable dress:

• Clothing, jewelry, and personal items that a student has including notebooks, folders, book covers, magazines, drawings, pictures, fanny packs, gym bags, water bottles, backpacks, or any other item that disrupts the instructional process.
•Hats other than unaltered school approved hats (properly worn)
•Oversized clothing such as shorts, pants, coats, etc. Pants or shorts must fit at the waist.
•Items that promote hate, intolerance or violence
•Unsafe jewelry and accessories, including wallet chains and belts hanging from the waist
•Visible undergarments
•Clothing with profanity, that is too tight, revealing or sexually provocative
•Clothing with pictures, insignia or brand names for controlled substances , tobacco or alcohol
•Bandannas
•Unsafe footwear including house slippers. Additional footwear requirements may be imposed on students in specific classes such as: physical education, science and shop.
•Raiders and Kings clothing, “LA” and “Skin” labels, and any additional articles of clothing or accessories identified by the HUSD School Police Department as being gang or hate group related will be forbidden on campus or any other school function or activity including sporting events.

The Board expects students to give proper attention to personal cleanliness and to wear clothes that are suitable for the school activities in which they participate. Students' clothing and possessions must not present a health or safety hazard or a distraction, which would interfere with the educational process.

When gangs constitute a danger to students, the Superintendent or designee may restrict student dress and grooming as necessary to comply with Board policy related to gang activity. The dress policy is applicable to all of Hesperia Unified School District's functions and activities.

Students and parents/guardians shall be informed about the school dress code at the beginning of the year and when revised. A student who violates the dress code shall be subject to appropriate disciplinary action.

GROUNDS FOR SUSPENSION AND EXPULSION
California Education Code specifically identifies student behaviors that can lead to a suspension. It also identifies the maximum number of days that a student may be suspended as well as the prior interventions that must, in some subsections, be employed before suspension can occur. It is important to be aware that suspension is seen as a tool of last resort and not a first option. Suspension will be undertaken only when prior interventions have failed to bring about the designated change in student behavior and/or when the actions of the child pose a threat to his/her safety or the safety of others. A pupil may be suspended or expelled for acts which are enumerated in this section and related to school activity or attendance that occur at any time including, but not limited to, any of the following: while on school grounds, while going to or coming from school, during the lunch period, during or while going to or coming from a school-sponsored activity.
