WHAT'S HAPPENING
4K & 5K Registration
Registration for 4 year old kindergarten for the 2012-2013 school year will be held daily in the main office at LECC from 8:30 until 3:30. If you have a child that will be 4 on or before September 1, 2012, they are eligible to attend 4K.
To register, you will need to bring the child’s birth certificate, social security card, current immunization record, and Medicaid card (if applicable) to registration.
Parents will also need to show 2 proofs of residence that they live in the Latta School District. We can accept a driver’s license, utility bill (water, power, telephone) or tax notice.
You will need to provide ALL of the above documentation in order to register.
We will also register new 5K students at the same time. If your child is not currently attending 4K at LECC you will need to register them at this time.
YEARBOOK SALE
2011-2012 yearbooks have been delivered to all students who pre-ordered. Our books are 28 pages of full color that vibrantly capture all of our school memories. We still have some books available if you did not pre-order one. Each book is only $15.
TARDY POLICY
Please carefully read the new board policy on school tardies. Beginning January 10, 2012, every 3 unexcused tardies will turn into 1 unexcused absence. Three unexcused early dismissals will turn into 1 unexcused absence. An early dismissal for a doctor’s appointment will be excused provided the parent sends a doctor’s excuse when the child returns to school. If your child is sent home early by the school nurse, that early dismissal will also be excused. Any other dismissals will be unexcused. Once a student receives 5 unexcused absences they are considered truant and can receive an official attendance referral. If you have questions about this new policy, do not hesitate to contact the school and we will be happy to talk with you about it.
TARDINESS
Code JHA Issued 01/12
Purpose: To establish the basic structure for dealing with tardiness by students
K through eighth grade students (tardy to school)
Students who are chronically late to school often suffer academically from lost instructional time. For this reason, a record should be kept of all tardies to school. When tardies become excessive in the opinion of the principal, he/she, in consultation with appropriate staff, will counsel the parent/legal guardian.
If after this counseling the student is persistently tardy, the principal will notify the parent/legal guardian and an intervention plan to correct the problem will be written.
If the parent/legal guardian fails to comply with the intervention plan, the principal at his/her discretion may refer the case to proper authorities for educational neglect.
For purposes of this policy, three unexcused tardies to school will constitute one unexcused absence. Additionally, three unexcused early dismissal sign-outs will constitute one unexcused absence. Unexcused tardies or early sign-outs are those that would not qualify as “lawful absences” under board policy.
