From the desks of
Mr. Ridenour & Mrs. Jacobs:
It's hard to believe that spring is right around the corner. It is much needed! This is a reminder that we have procedures in place in all areas of the school for student safety- not parent convenience. We have had many parents, during arrival and dismissal, dropping off or picking up their child from the front of the building. This causes a safety concern for buses due to the size of the space. We want to avoid any potential accidents! Please be sure to use the car rider line for pick up and drop off. It does not take that long and runs very efficiently when procedures are followed.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.

NOTES FROM THE NURSE:
Students with vomiting, diarrhea, undiagnosed skin rashes, eye infections or fever over 100 degrees should not attend school. Students exhibiting these symptoms at school will be sent home.
With vomiting and diarrhea, the school nurse will evaluate any associated circumstances and other symptoms before making an exclusion decision. Children vomit for reasons other than illness, including coughing, stress, exertion, reflux and food intolerance.
Students with vomiting, diarrhea, or fever over 100 should not return to school until the symptoms have resolved without medication for 24 hours.
Students with pink eye may return to school with a doctor's note when the symptoms subside or when a student shows treatment has begun with appropriate eye drops. Contagious skin rashes should be reported to your school nurse and a note will be required by your child's physician to return to school.
Please remember with all of these exclusion criteria that our job is to facilitate students remaining in school. Our goal is to have the child miss as little class time as possible!

ILEARN Testing
Please mark your calendars for April 22-May 17. These are the dates that all students in grades 3-5 will take Indiana's assessment tests. Students are likely to perform better if given the opportunity to take each exam with his/her classmates. Please help your children do their personal best by making sure they are in attendance on those days. Please do not schedule any trips or appointments during this time!
| |
IREAD 3 Test
The IREAD test will be a short exam given to all 3rd grade students on March 18th. It is very important that every 3rd grade student is present for this test. Children who do not pass this test will have an opportunity to attend a remedial summer program offered by the Tippecanoe School Corporation. The exam will then be re-administered to those students in June.

It is a priority of the Tippecanoe School Corporation to provide a safe learning environment for all of our students and employees. In an effort to continue our due diligence, we now require all volunteers having ongoing contact with children and/or supervising students (field trips, etc) to have cleared an expanded criminal background check. These background checks are conducted through Background Investigation Bureau (BIB).
The criminal background check will search national sex offender databases, court records, and other sources. The cost of the criminal history check is $17.95 (base cost) and is paid for by the volunteer through a link on our website.
Once approved, the volunteer will receive a TSC Volunteer identification card that will be valid for a period of three (3) years. If you volunteer in multiple buildings, you will only need to complete one background check.
Volunteer background checks may take several business days to process so it is important to plan ahead.
We appreciate your understanding of this important safety guideline.
