OFFICE TELEPHONE
When possible, plans concerning after school should be made by the child and parents before coming to school.

A public telephone is located in the commons area for student use. Students may use the office phone only in emergencies. Persons calling students while the student is in class will be asked to leave a number or a message for the student, except in emergencies. The student may return the call between classes.

Student long distance calls on the office telephone will be allowed on a limited basis and upon approval of the principal, superintendent, or secretary. Your cooperation in these matters will be greatly appreciated.

TEXTBOOK RENTAL
The fees pay for textbooks, workbooks, etc. Students must supply other needed items. Any book that is damaged or lost must be replaced by the student/parent. Lab fees and workbook fees are not refundable.

Students enrolling any time during the first semester will be charged full year fees. Any student enrolling the first day of the second semester, or any time during the second semester will be charged one-half fees. A student withdrawing any time during the first semester will be refunded one-half of their fees. A student withdrawing any time during the second semester is not refunded any of the fees.

VISITORS AT SCHOOL
In order for a student to have a visitor with them during the school day, they must first obtain a visitor's permission form from the principal's office the day before the planned visit and have the form signed by his/her individual classroom teachers, who either grant or deny permission for the visitor to be in their classroom. All visitors should reside outside USD 462 boundaries. If the visitor is denied permission to attend an individual classroom, arrangements must be made with the principal's office for their accommodation during that class period.

SUPERVISION OF MEDICATIONS
Diagnosis and treatment of illness and prescribing drugs and medicines are not the responsibility of the public schools and are not to be practiced by any school personnel, including the school nurse.

Prescription Drugs
In certain explained circumstances when medication is necessary so that the student can remain in school, the school may cooperate with parents in the supervision of prescription medication that the student will use. The parents must submit a written request to the building administrator requesting the school’s cooperation and releasing the school district and personnel from liability.

School personnel shall not be required to be custodians of any prescription medication except in circumstances where it is essential that students take such medication during school hours. The medication shall be examined by the school employee administering the medication to determine that it appears to be in the original container, to be properly labeled and to be properly authorized by the written order of a licensed medical person.

Any changes in type of drugs, dosages and/or time of administration shall be accompanied by parental permission and a newly labeled pharmacy container.
