General Information

Injuries that occur on school grounds must be reported to the office. First-aid will be administered for minor injuries. If parents cannot be reached in the case of a child's serious injury, the physician listed on the emergency card will be contacted or the emergency room at Twin Cities Hospital.

Medications need parental permission to be administered at school. All medications must be kept and administered in the school office or with the preschool director.
Medical Releases need to be presented to the office prior to readmission to school.

Custody of students and any changes need to be put in writing for the school office. It is the responsibility of the parent or guardian to inform the school of any changes or arrangements in custody status. The school may ask for legal verification of these arrangements.

Child Abuse Reporting will be filed in any case in accordance with Diocesan policy and California law. School staff are legally obligated under penalty of fine and jail term to report the reasonable suspicion of physical abuse, emotional abuse, emotional deprivation, physical neglect, inadequate supervision, or sexual abuses and exploitation.

Access to student files is permitted with a written request from the parent or guardian. The request must be specific and dated.

Cars in the school parking lot must follow the traffic pattern for safety reasons. Parents and students must use the crosswalks to enter and leave the school. Students being picked-up at the Trigo Lane exit must remain inside the school grounds until their parent/ride arrives. Please do not park or drive on the playground when children are present.

Parties are permitted during lunch or break time on school grounds. Personal party invitations (if the entire class is not invited) need to be distributed off school grounds to avoid hurt feelings. Please discourage children from discussing such activities that do not include all classmates.

Students are not permitted to leave school grounds on their own, unless they are walking home. Due to safety concerns, students must remain on campus until they are picked up by a parent or guardian. This includes after school supervised activities.

Field Trips must be of an educational nature for all grades. Signed permission slips are required in order for a child to participate. Verbal permission is not permitted by our insurance company.

Student use of telephones during school hours is permitted for emergency reasons only. Lost items can be located in the school office or the lost and found box in front of the office.

Bicycles are to be walked on and off school grounds. State law requires that all persons under age 18 wear helmets when riding a bicycle. Students not following state law or Saint Rose Catholic School rules will not be allowed to bring their bicycles to school.

Skate boards and roller blades are not to be used on school grounds for any reason.

Toys are to be left at home unless given permission by the classroom teacher.
