Parent/Student Handbook Clarifications

Parking/Dismissal Reminder:

As noted in our Student Handbook, Drop-off & Dismissal Procedures, “Parking and/or waiting for student dismissal anywhere in the side parking lot is not permitted.” Enforcement will begin Monday, 9/21, with the help of the Flower Mound Police. ESD parents picking up students before 3:30 also need to park in the front lot. Your cooperation is appreciated.

Absences:

Each student is allowed three (3) free unexcused leave early/absences per year. Leaving early for any reason other than illness, medical appointment, or death (in accordance with the School Board's Policy) will count as one (1) of the free unexcused days. For example, signing your child out at noon to go out of town would be an unexcused leave early and count as one of your 3 free unexcused days. In addition, signing your child out early on party day would be an unexcused leave early and be counted as one more of your 3 free unexcused days for the year.

Upon the fourth and all subsequent unexcused absences (either partial day or whole day) any graded assignments, during the absent time, will be made up but grades will be recorded as a zero.

Dress Code Guidelines:

Students may not wear skeletons or skulls of any kind. These could be considered scary by some of our students.

Cafeteria:

Parents may only bring lunch for their own student.

Attendance:

Make-up work will be sent home on the third day of a student's absence (or upon the student returning to school). On the third day of the absence, parents may request that missed assignments be picked up in the office at the end of the day or sent home with another child.
