established by the Tangipahoa Parish School System policies and the Louisiana State

discussed at a Professional Learning meeting when feasible. When an agreement is
reached, the handbook will be revised. This handbook represents our school program.

GENERAL INFORMATION

 Emergency Substitute Plans
Teachers are required to complete a substitute packet containing 3 days of lesson plans
and materials to be submitted to Ms. Smith within the first 3 weeks of school. The packet
can be accessed on the x drive and you were given a hard copy the first day of school.
These plans are to be utilized when a teacher is unexpectedly out due to an emergency
and cannot provide plans.

 Parent Teacher Association (PTA)
It is expected that each teacher will take an active part in the PTA. Each teacher is
encouraged to pay the $3.00 membership fee so that she can be a voting member of
the association. The PTA will hold meetings throughout the year. In an effort to increase
parental involvement, each grade level will be responsible for providing an activity at
a PTA meeting. Please refer to the Master schedule for your grade level assigned
meeting. Faculty members are required to attend at least one PTA meeting. It is
recommended that one be active in the PTA if requests are made of the PTA.

 Substitutes
Teachers and paraprofessionals will use AESOP for substitutes. If you are unable to get
to AESOP, you are to call Monica Smith (985-687-1690) ASAP. Teachers are
responsible for finding another teacher to cover morning and afternoon duty if they are
absent on their duty day.

 Professional Learning Communities (formally known as Grade Level Meetings)
Collaboration /Grade Level Meetings will be held on Fridays.

 Parent-Teacher Conferences
Parent teacher conferences are held either before or after school or during a teacher’s
planning time. Administrators are available to participate in conferences when prior
notice is given. Although it is the ultimate responsibility of the parent to meet at a time
when we have planning, this is not always possible. You must make time either before or
after school if circumstances dictate that this is the only time conferences are possible.

 Videos
Although videos can be a wonderful means of instruction, nothing replaces the direct
instruction provided by a teacher. With this in mind, the use of videos will be limited to
two hours per six weeks. The video request form must be submitted and approved by
the principal prior to showing the video. All videos must have a G rating. Approval forms
signed by the principal must be attached to the lesson plan form for that week. Using
the television as a morning management tool is irreplaceable. Please select videos that
are aligned to the current units being taught in core areas.

Extra-Curricular Student Activities

 Perfect Attendance
Perfect Attendance is defined as attendance at school from bell to bell every day.
Students will be rewarded each week for perfect attendance from the previous week.
This reward will be determined by the entire grade level and will be consistent
throughout the grade level.

 Field Trips
Field trips will be limited to one per grade level per year. It must be taken during
the first semester of the school year, and it must serve an educational purpose. It is
the responsibility of assigned grade level personnel.

1. The field trip request form must be submitted to the principal 5 weeks before
the date of the trip, for his approval and signature. Once the principal has
returned the form, submit it to the central office, via blue bird, no later than 1
month before trip.

2. Notify the cafeteria manager of the trip, with a preliminary head count no later
than 2 weeks prior to the trip. Provide the cafeteria manager with a final count
at least 2 days before trip.

3. Secure buses for the trip. Students who ride lift buses must also be transported;
therefore if a child rides a lift bus, he or she must be given the opportunity to
go. If there are no buses willing to transport the child and the parent does not
want to transport the child, nor will he/she sign a waiver to allow them to ride
the regular bus, then no children may go on the trip. It is the responsibility of
the grade level teacher to complete special education transportation request
forms. See Mrs. Bickford, special education lead teacher, for help.

4. All children with special needs (medication, etc.) must also be considered before
planning a field trip. If their needs cannot be met the field trip cannot be held.
Therefore, contact the school nurse 3 weeks prior to the trip for any special
medication arrangements.

5. Teachers must notify the office of any students using medication the day before
the field trip so that the meds can be prepared for the teacher to pick up the
next morning.

6. If medications are needed, please see Ms. Adams to arrange for a medical
trained para-professional to attend the field trip.

7. We cannot take money for 2 field trips in the same grade level at the same
time.

 School Parties
The Tangipahoa Parish School System recognizes that children in Grades PK-2 should
have a party twice a year. The two parties selected at Loranger Elementary shall be
at Christmas and Easter. Although parties are not allowed in grades 3 and 4: the
students will be given the opportunity to pass out treats in their classrooms. Parties
and passing out treats will last no more than one hour and must be held at the end of
the day. Students and parents must be made aware that the students will have an
opportunity to pass out treats. Passing out treats in grades 3 and 4 is not optional.
All students at our school will be allowed treats on party days.

Parents may send treats on other occasions if arrangements are made with the
teacher. This should not last more than 20 minutes and will be allowed only after 2:00
or during scheduled snack or recess. Please be reminded that only store bought items
may be served. Items must be individually wrapped unless it is a cake, cupcakes or
a sandwich tray.

 Pledge & Announcements
Each morning the pledge will be said in unison with a third or fourth grade student
leading it over the intercom. This will be followed by the recitation of the mission
statement and the PBIS Cheer. Teachers need to send only one student to do the
pledge, when two are together it is more confusing. Please have students in the office
prior to 8:00. Please make sure the child knows the words to the pledge before
sending them to say it. (Follow pledge schedule below)

FINANCIAL ISSUES

 Supply Fees
A $15.00 supply fee will be assessed of each student. This money will be placed in
one account and divided equally among all teachers based on students serviced and
time serviced. This will allow for equality among teachers with high parental
participation and low participation. This will also allow for monies to be channeled
towards special education and special programs.

Tentative Allotments will be placed in teacher accounts on or about September 9,
January 12, and April 8.

 Procedure for Turning Money In
1) Each teacher will be given one-3 copy receipt books.
2) When a student gives you money, write that child a receipt.
3) Give the child the pink copy and send the other 2 copies (still attached
in book) to the office with the money.
4) If you are collecting money for more than one purpose you must have
separate office receipts for each purpose. (Example, if you are
collecting May Fest, Supply Fee and Field Trip money, you will have
three separate receipts per student, turned into the office)
5) When the money is counted, Mrs. Ochsner will initial the receipt book,
keep a copy, and place the book back in your moneybag.
6) Do not receipt picture money, PTA money or Fundraiser money.

Please, if you have questions – ASK, ASK, ASK – the Auditor is very
detailed oriented.

 Textbooks

Textbooks are a very expensive asset. The loss of textbooks can be quite costly to the
school. Tangipahoa Parish School System dictates that each school is responsible for
maintaining textbook inventory. The policy states that there is to be a textbook check
every six weeks.

The librarian will distribute textbook inventory logs to each teacher for completion
and return.

It will be the homeroom teachers’ responsibility to send the letter home to the parent
to notify them that the child has lost a book. No book can be issued until the lost book
is paid for. This includes the next reader in a series, etc. Upon completion of the
textbook inventory for each six weeks, each teacher must prove that they have made
at least one phone contact and two written contacts to prove they have attempted to
have the book returned. This will be due to the Liberian within one week of the
inventory. The Liberian will then attempt the same contact and turn the information into
Ms. Browning by the end of the second week of the inventory due date. This is a
different piece of documentation than the inventory log that will be turned into the
library.

The included parent letter can be one piece of documentation.
