Dear St. Libory Parent,
The hottest weather of the summer has just arrived and ‘Back to School Sales’
are all around us so it is time to open the school doors. Your child’s education
and welfare are our highest priority. We appreciate the confidence you place in
us when sending your child(ren) each day, and we will do everything possible to
maintain that trust.
Every school year brings changes and challenges and 2007-2008 will be no
different. One of the immediate changes you will want to note is the different
school times. School will begin at 7:55am, with students considered tardy if
they arrive after 8:00am. Dismissal time will be 2:50pm.
School will begin for students on Friday, August 17th. Please note school will
only be in session that day from 7:55am-9am. It is hoped that this time will
allow the students and teachers to get “settled in”, and also allow for
fine-tuning of the bus route. The bus route will be similar to last year’s
because the route proved to be convenient and efficient. Feel free to contact
the office for individual concerns.
In order to help maintain a positive school climate inside the classrooms, the
following dress guidelines have been established. Your assistance is
appreciated. Students are expected to present an appearance that does not
disrupt the educational process or interfere with the maintenance of a positive
teaching/learning climate. Dress and/or grooming which is not in accord with
reasonable standards of health, safety, modesty, and decency will be considered
inappropriate. Specific examples are as follows;
· Attire which promotes obscenity, denigration of others, offensive language,
drugs, tobacco products, or alcohol is unacceptable.
· Hats are not to be worn in the school, except for a medical or religious
purpose. Students wearing a hat will be warned the first time, and the second
time the hat will be taken and returned at the end of the school year.
· No clothing considered to be revealing will be allowed. This would include,
but not be limited to, bare midriffs, certain holes in clothing, and low cut
tops. Skirts and shorts are to be no shorter than a student’s longest fingertip
when they are standing with their arms at their sides.
· Pants should not sag excessively nor expose undergarments.
· Shirts having bare backs, one-shoulder, or spaghetti straps may not be worn.
These guidelines apply to all students, boys and girls. First time offenders
will be given the option to change into other clothes or otherwise remedy the
situation. Disciplinary action will be taken with repeat offenders.
Other items- Please sign the acknowledgment slip indicating that you received
the Student-Parent Handbook and return the slip to the teacher. Lunch prices
will be the same as last year: $1.65 for K-4 and $1.85 for 5-8. If you qualify
for reduced or free lunch, please fill out the form and return it to your
child's teacher. All students will need a pair of separate tennis shoes for
inside PE with white soles. Note: Book fee of $50 is due September 7th. Whenever
you have any questions, please feel free to call the school office.
Sincerely,
Carl J. Buehler

SCHOOL BUS INFORMATION
DUE TO BUS CAPACITY, ONLY CHILDREN ELIGIBLE AND SCHEDULED TO RIDE THE BUS WILL
BE PERMITTED TO DO SO. IF YOUR CHILD WILL NOT BE GETTING OFF THE BUS AT THEIR
REGULAR STOP PLEASE CONTACT OR SEND A WRITTEN NOTE TO THE SCHOOL OFFICE. THE BUS
DRIVER WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO DROP STUDENTS OFF AT A DIFFERENT LOCATION UNLESS
INSTRUCTED TO DO SO BY THE SCHOOL OFFICE. THIS IS TO PROTECT THE SAFETY OF THE
STUDENTS, AND ENSURE THAT YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR CHILD IS GOING AFTER SCHOOL.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP IN THIS MATTER.
