PARENT INFORMATION
MRS. ANI'S COURTESY GUIDELINES FOR STUDENTS FOR IN-PERSON CLASSES
YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
- GOLDEN RULE: Treat others as you would like to be treated - with kindness and respect.
- Your own supply kit and binder for class must be taken home and brought back to class each week.
- Students are dismissed when table areas are cleaned up as they found them.
- You may have water during class, but kindly reserve snacks for before and after class (no trash left behind)
- Even before or after class, please be courteous to with no running, rough-housing or voices on high volume.
- Respect others' property. Don't damage table and chairs. Don't touch other students belongings without asking them. If you borrow something, return it.
- Students on break between classes are responsible for making sure they independently return in time for their next class to begin. Keep an eye on the clock, or use watches/phones to set helpful alarms for students as a reminder if needed.
- Phones and other electronics must be silenced and put away during class time unless you have special permission for Mrs. Ani. Students may not view or share offensive, rude, harassing, or inappropriate content at any time.
YOUR ATTITUDE
- Mind your words. Mean-spirited, insulting, rude, aggressive, bullying, and foul behavior or language has no place in our family friendly environment.
- Mind your space. Physical aggression towards others will not be tolerated.
- Give your best effort and have a positive attitude - Mrs. Ani will do the same
YOUR SAFETY
- Students must stay within the property until picked up by a guardian.
- Look out for one another. If you see something unsafe, report it to your teacher.
PARENT/GUARDIAN INFORMATION
Pathfinders in Glendora has its own policies - refer to the parent handbook when you register.
BREAKS ON CAMPUS
Please note that at E.I.E., I remain in the classroom between lessons and students are welcome to remain in my classroom on breaks. If they mingle in the halls, aisles, or play areas, I am not able to directly supervise them in those spaces. If your student cannot follow these guidelines independently before or after class waiting for pick-up, or during breaks between classes, please plan to walk them in & out of the classroom, or remain on campus to supervise.
To ensure the safety and comfort of all, students found to be unable to manage themselves may be asked to stay in the classroom with me even between classes. Or for more serious or persistent problems that impact others, the student’s enrollment may be discontinued. Please note that Charter Schools require me to inform them of serious disciplinary, safety or behavior issues in regards to their students.
CELL PHONE/TECH
To maintain a focused learning environment, cell phones or other tech devices must be silenced and put away out of sight during instructional time. Devices may only be used with exceptions given in advance by the teacher for specific medical or family emergencies, IEP accommodations, and during designated breaks. Even so, I encourage students to use break times to engage with other students, bring a game to play, or a hobby to share, rather than relying on tech to pass the time
Students anywhere at E.I.E. should not be using technology to view or share offensive, explicit, harassing, or inappropriate content (pictures, videos, music, text, or otherwise), at any time. In addition to looking out for other students, E.I.E. is a family friendly environment, with siblings and other children of all ages that may be in the store, mingling in the halls or waiting spaces, that we wish to protect too.
HEALTH
Please keep your student home if they are experiencing the following signs of illness: chills, cough, shortness of breath, body aches, headache, loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion, runny nose, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or fever. 24 hours should have passed since resolution of fever without the use of fever-reducing medications.
ALLERGIES
Some of our lessons or classroom events occasionally include food-related activities. I will inform parents of these scheduled activities, and consider student’s food allergies or dietary restrictions to make sure there is something for everyone to enjoy and avoid allergens that have been disclosed to me on your student enrollment forms. **PLEASE NOTE** If your student requires an epi-pen for severe reactions, kindly speak to me to have a plan in place. Throughout the week, the classroom space is shared with other teachers and classes. If your student's level of allergic sensitivity is such that it be triggered by touch, we cannot account for trace allergens that may be present in this shared space.
CONFLICT RESOLUTION
We are a homeschool community. As you might expect, we do not have a traditional school infrastructure with layers of administrators and complex disciplinary codes and procedures to resolve every problem that could come up with students. What we have are Moms, Dads, loving guardians and students that are brought together with me as a caring instructor to resolve the rare sticky situation that comes our way.
E.I.E. and my enrichment classes as “We Spark Learning” are united in their goal to inspire and lift children up in a nurturing environment of community and learning. Thank you for entrusting your student(s) with me.
