Attendance
All attendance matters are handled through the Health/Attendance Office. All documents relating to student's attendance are to be submitted to this office.
Transitional Kindergarten - 8th grade: Children may be dropped off beginning at 7:40 a.m. (or 9:00 on Late Start days). CCS does not provide any student supervision prior to 7:40 a.m. (or 9:00 a.m. on late start days).
Punctuality
Class begins promptly at 8:00 a.m. Any student in carpool line and not in class at 8:00 is tardy and must obtain a hall pass from the Nurse’s Office before entering class. Students arriving late may be required to miss their first period class if entrance to the class is disruptive. This will be the case particularly in testing situations.
Leaving School Early
Leaving school early is discouraged. When it is necessary to leave school before the regular dismissal time, PARENTS MUST SIGN THE STUDENT OUT in the Health/Attendance office. Students may not be picked up directly from the classroom, nor will they be called out of class early to wait for pick-up.
Absences
If any student is absent, the parents should inform the Nurse’s Office by 9:00 a.m by phone or email the reason for the absence. It is the responsibility of the student to make up all work missed because of an absence. TK-4 homework should be requested by noon; 5th-8th grade homework is posted on the homework site at www.calvarychristian.org. Students who leave to get an early start on vacation may not be allowed to make up missed work and must take quizzes and tests before leaving. The student should proactively discuss missed class work with the teacher upon his/her return. Please give prior notification to the Nurse’s Office and classroom teachers when absences are scheduled in advance.
Illness, Injuries and Medications
Injuries/Illness
When an injury occurs to a student on the Calvary campus, the school nurse will assess the injury or illness and appropriate first aid will be administered. If the student's injury or illness is significant, parents will be contacted to determine the appropriate course of action. If parents are unavailable, emergency services will be contacted. The injured or ill student will be kept in the Nurse's office under observation until parents or emergency assistance arrives.
Medication
The school discourages medication of students at school, on field trips or retreats. If medication is absolutely necessary, the prescribing physician and parents must provide written permission to medicate. Permission to Medicate forms are available from the nurse or on the CCS website and must be completed before any medications can be given during the day or on field/outdoor ed trips. All medicines must be in original containers labeled with the student's name, medication, dosage amount, and when the medication is to be given.
STUDENTS MAY NOT KEEP PRESCRIPTION AND/OR NON-PRESCRIPTION DRUGS OR MEDICINE IN THEIR LOCKERS, DESK, BACKPACKS OR ON THEIR PERSON WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM THE SCHOOL NURSE.
Medication will be kept in a locked storage cabinet in the Health/Attendance office.
