ATTENDANCE LINE:
440-356-3500 X4104 (24-HOUR ANSWERING MACHINE)

ATTENDANCE: THE KEY TO YOUR CHILD’S SUCCESS! With the passage of House Bill 410, it has become necessary to keep a detailed account of student absences to the minute. Not only is it important that your student arrives on time and attend school daily, but your student’s success in school also depends on having a solid, educational background that can only be gained through regular school attendance.

If you are dropping off your high school student, please be sure to notify our attendance office of your student’s arrival. If you are picking up your student, the attendance office needs to know the time your student is leaving so a pass can be issued to your student for him/her to leave the building. High School students do not need to be signed in or out of the building.

If you are picking up your middle school student for any reason or dropping him/her off, please park in front of the Middle School entrance on Campus Drive and come to the Middle School main office to sign your student in or out of school.

Just a reminder that our district is “cashless. Tickets for athletic events can be purchased with a credit or debit card online or at the gate. In addition, a cash option will be made available at the gate.

The Fairview Park City School District uses Pay For It, an online payment system to collect student fees. Since 2011, all students and families at all buildings have been required to use Pay For It, write a personal check or use a credit card to pay for all fees. No cash will be accepted. Parents who do not have a credit card or a checking account will need to pay for their student's fees with a cashier's check or money order.

A link to Pay For It appears on the district website under “For Parents”. Or you can visit https://www.fairviewparkschools.org/payforit

GENERAL INFORMATION DRESS CODE:

Students shall appear in school and at school sponsored activities in dress that is clean, in good taste, and in a manner that will not tend to disrupt the school activity nor create a condition that would be adverse to the safety and health of the students. Student dress may be regulated if the administration deems said attire to be bizarre, offensive, disruptive or distracting to the educational process. After parent contact students may be sent home if a change of clothes is not available. Violations of these standards and guidelines shall be handled by the building principal and his/her designee who shall determine appropriate actions to be taken.

The following guidelines shall constitute the student dress code.

1. Students shall, at all times, wear some kind of shoes and/or sandals.

All hats and head coverings worn are not to include vulgar, obscene, libelous, or denigrate others because of race, color, weight, religion, religious practice, ancestry, national origin, ethnic group, gender/sex, sexual orientation or disability, etc. If a student is asked to remove a hat or other headgear by any school personnel, the request must be honored promptly with no discussion.
5. Style of dress that exposes the midriff is prohibited. This prohibition includes the exposure of the front, rear and sides of the waist. Tank tops, cutoff shirts or any garment, which reveals undergarments, are not appropriate. All tops should have two straps.

As in previous years, we will not be collecting student fees at the beginning of the school year. By mid-October, we will mail the student fee letter to each household. At that time, we ask for prompt payment of fees. All student fee accounts must be current (no past due fees owed) in order for students to be able to participate in co-curricular (i.e., sports) and extra-curricular activities (i.e., NHS, Key Club, dances, etc.).

In the case of extreme hardship, please contact Ms. Victoria McElroy (440.356.3510, ext. 3101). Please see above regarding the form of payment.

The first day of school is Tuesday, August 22nd, with all high and middle school students reporting directly and promptly to their Homeroom by 8:18 a.m. to pick up their schedules and other information that will be handed out and then proceed to 2nd-period class. (Please note: Homeroom assignments will be posted throughout the high school and middle school on brightly colored paper).

Note: Students with a first-period class on their schedule are to report to that location at 7:30 a.m. on August 22nd. Student schedules can be found on PowerSchool beginning August 14th.

The Fairview Park City School District uses Powerschool, an online registration program for both new and returning students. Please know that our online registration process for returning students replaces our yearly back-to-school-forms, such as: Emergency Medical Form, Blanket Field Trip Form, Handbook Certification Form, etc. Powerschool will require parents to download the student handbook, review it with your student and sign off electronically that you and your student understand our school policies. Powerschool forms must be kept up to date.

Please log into Powerschool and verify all information through the Info Snap link pertaining to your student by August 22nd. Students will not receive their district MacBook or go on field trips until this information is complete and verified by the main office.

Lockers will be assigned to all grades, 6 through 12. Please see the Associate Principal in the Main Office of the Middle School if you have any questions.

As a District receiving Title I federal funds, it is our responsibility to inform parents that our schools are obligated, if asked, to provide parents with the professional qualifications of their student’s classroom teachers, including:

• If the teacher has met state qualification and licensing criteria for the grade level and subject area taught.
• If the teacher is teaching under emergency or temporary status in which State qualifications or licensing criteria are waived.
• The teacher’s baccalaureate degree major, graduate certification, and field of discipline.

Our security system dictates that visitors park in the high school main parking lot, enter through the main entrance doors of the high school and once through the first set of doors, press the buzzer for entrance into the HS main office. For the safety of our students and employees, obtain a visitor’s pass before proceeding through the building. A driver’s license or state ID is required to obtain a visitor’s pass. When there is a need to meet with a teacher, we encourage parents to make appointments in advance so as not to disrupt the educational process.
