Children are required by law to attend
school, except in cases of illness or death in the family. All legal absences or
tardies require a written excuse when the child returns to school. Otherwise, an
illegal absence or tardy will be indicated on the child's attendance record. Excessive
absence or tardiness will require a doctor's note. Excuses should include the date(s) of
absence and a reason for the absence. If a child is going to be absent, a phone call to
either 768-7115 would be appreciated.

The following parameters will be in effect
for any person who wishes to visit a Le Roy Central School District classroom.
Permission must be obtained through the
office of the principal for classroom visitations. Conditions of the visit (date, time,
expectations of visitor's classroom behavior, etc.) will be outlined by the prior to the
visit and strictly adhered to by the visitor.
Visitations will be for observation only.
Use of camcorders and other electronic devices are subject to the principal's discretion.
Visitors may not interfere with the
educational program. If parents/guardians or other visitors have questions or concerns,
they may arrange for a separate conference with the teacher.

Bus
Schedule
The elementary school bus picks up children
in grades 1-6 who reside 3/4 mile or more from the school they legally attend. Eligibility
for transportation is measured from the child's legal address.
ALL KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS ARE BUSSED. Kindergarten
students will be advised by letter, in advance of the opening of school, as to
transportation.
Children will be picked up with enough time
for the school bus to arrive before the school day begins. The time may vary a little; it
is extremely important for every child to be waiting by the road, ready to board the bus
immediately upon its arrival. For approximate time of passing a particular house, the
school office or bus driver may be consulted.
BUS STUDENTS WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO
LEAVE THE BUSES, OTHER THAN AT THEIR OWN HOMES OR AT SCHOOL UNLESS WRITTEN PERMISSION IS
RECEIVED FROM THE PARENTS TO GO ELSEWHERE. This is a safety precaution and must be
adhered to.
NO STUDENT MAY RIDE ON ANY BUS EXCEPT THAT
TO WHICH HE/SHE IS REGULARLY ASSIGNED. This is a reasonable request when we consider
the number of students who depend on the buses daily.
Asking to change the location of children
being picked up and delivered each day should be kept to a minimum, whenever possible. To
avoid confusion, children should be picked up and delivered to the same location every
day.

Physical Education
All children are required to participate in
Physical Education UNLESS EXCUSED BY A WRITTEN STATEMENT FROM THE FAMILY PHYSICIAN.
Kindergarten classes meet once a week for 35 minutes. Grades 1-6 meet twice a week for 35
minutes per class.
Outdoor participation is dependent upon
weather conditions. In order for Physical Education classes to be conducted outdoors, the
fields must be dry and the temperature approximately 60 degrees. Sneakers and
appropriately fitting clothing are required in grades 1-6, for safety reasons. We need
your help to ensure that students come appropriately dressed for physical education. We
ask that students refrain from wearing: halter tops, tank tops, spaghetti strap shirts,
shirts that do not cover the student's waistline and shorts with less than a three inch
inseam. Your child needs to be in sneakers in order to participate in physical education
class. Therefore, clogs, sandals, jelly shoes, dress shoes and platform sneakers are
unacceptable, as they are unsafe.

Lost and Found
A lost and found box will be maintained in
the main office. Articles found should be given to the main office. Pupils claiming lost
articles may receive them from the secretary. If an article is not found immediately,
pupils should inquire several times. Unclaimed articles are given to charitable
organizations at the close of the school year.
PARENTS MAY ASSIST GREATLY IN THE RECOVERY
OF LOST ITEMS BY PUTTING THE STUDENT'S NAME ON SUCH ITEMS AS: coats, sweaters,
mittens, overshoes, rubbers, sneakers and lunch boxes. It would also be helpful to include
the student's name on the familiar lunch bag. Check each item occasionally to be sure that
the name is readable.

Attire
The school can expect that all students will
be dressed appropriately and in good taste for school and any respective school
activities.
If, in the school's judgment, a student is
dressed in a manner that is deemed distractive to other students or teachers in
educational pursuit, then that student will be asked to change.
We ask that students refrain from wearing:
halters, tank tops, spaghetti strap shirts, shirts that do not cover the student's
waistline and shorts with less than a three inch inseam.
We thank you, in advance, for your
cooperation in helping us maintain an environment where academic success can be pursued.
