Teachers can use Parent/Teacher Communiques to inform parents of inappropriate behavior,
inappropriate language, or grades. Teachers may also use the communiques for positive communication.
Please sign and return the yellow copy of the communique and return it to your child’s teacher the
following day.
- Any behavior that distracts a student from learning or a teacher from teaching is unacceptable.
- Everyone at Santa Rosa de Lima School must show respect for other people, property, and ideas. All rules in the classrooms and on the yard stem from these two policies.
Materials NOT allowed at School
During school hours until 3:00 pm students should only have with them the materials assigned by the
school and classroom teacher. Items considered inappropriate are those that fail to enhance the learning
environment. These items include, but are not limited to, cell phones, hand-held electronic games, toys,
audio equipment, iPod, DVD players and laser lights. If it is necessary for your child to have their cell phone
at school, all cell phones will be placed in a secure box within each classroom. Students are only allowed to
use their cell phone to contact their parents before or after school. Students may not text, call, take pictures
or selfies while on school campus or while attending any school function. If a staff member sees or hears
any of these items before 3:00 pm, the items will be sent to the principal’s office and a parent will need to
retrieve them. Students may use the office phone during the day to contact parents if it is deemed
necessary by their teacher or the principal. After 3:00 p.m., cell phones may only be used to contact
parents. Students may not contact other students, visit social media, watch Youtube or other internet
programs, while on campus. Students may not take pictures using their cell phone before, during, or
afterschool.
Students should not bring items of monetary or sentimental value to school.
Lunch Time
Students may not bring soda or candy to school. Students may take home any unwanted food or place it
into the Christian Service box rather than throwing it away.
Please do not bring your children lunch unless it is an emergency. Students should bring their lunch with
them in the morning. If it is necessary, please bring the lunch to the front office and it will be delivered to
the student. Please do not bring fast food. This is disturbing to the other students who brought sack
lunches.
Birthday
If the entire class is invited to a birthday party then the invitations may be distributed in the classroom,
otherwise, they should be emailed/mailed home. A small, simple (preferably nutritious) snack for the
entire class that is easily distributed is a perfect way to celebrate a student’s birthday.
Parents may send the treats to school in the morning and we will be happy to pass them out at recess or
lunch. All treats must be store bought. Please contact your child’s teacher to make sure the date you have
chosen will be acceptable. Celebrating your child’s birthday at school is completely optional. Another way
to celebrate a birthday is by donating a book to the classroom or making a monetary donation to the
school’s digital library.
School Property
The parent of a child who carelessly destroys, damages or loses any school property, books or another
student’s personal property will be obligated to pay the full amount of repairs or replacement.
Return to School After Dismissal
Students who forget books, homework, etc. and wish to return to a classroom to retrieve them after school
must be accompanied by a parent or other responsible adult and seek permission from a faculty member.
The maintenance and after-school care staff are not authorized to open classrooms.
Office Telephone
Students may seek permission to use the office telephone during recess, lunch or after school to call their
parents if the call is necessary (ex. If an athletic practice has been canceled or a meeting rescheduled).
Students may not use the phone for personal calls.
Lost and Found
All personal property should be plainly marked. This includes book bags, sweatshirts, jackets, lunch boxes
or bags, etc. Found items should be brought to the office or placed in the lost and found cart. If a child loses
an article, he/she should check the lost and found cart or with the office as soon as possible. Unclaimed
items will be sent to Christian services.
Effort/Conduct Policy
Students are expected to put forth their very best effort by participating in class, doing assigned class and
homework, paying attention, etc. based on their age and ability. They also are expected to reflect Christian
principles in their behavior (respect, kindness, obedience, proper language, etc.)
At the end of each progress period, we evaluate the students in the light of their effort and conduct. Any
student with unsatisfactory conduct will be placed on probation for the following progress period. (The
privilege of participating in extra-curricular activities will be lost and their conduct will be closely
monitored). If the student with unsatisfactory conduct does not improve during probation, he/she may be
asked to leave Santa Rosa de Lima School.
Similarly, any student with poor effort (Unsatisfactory) will be on probation the following interim progress
period. (The privilege of participating in extracurricular activities will be lost and their conduct will be
closely monitored). Any student who does not improve in effort after two progress periods will be
reviewed by his/her teachers and the principal, and recommendations will be made.
Students who receive an academic grade of F or Unsatisfactory in effort and/or conduct will be on
probation and excluded from extra-curricular activities until they demonstrate improvement. Extracurricular activities include sports, Student Council, etc.
