Field Day Field Day is CANCELLED. Our field is standing in water. So Sorry!!!!! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SAISD is partnering with the San Angelo Police Department to ensure safety on our campuses. Police officers will visit our campuses on a regular basis so that they can become familiar with our school layout. They also want our staff and students to know they are here to support our efforts in keeping our schools safe. THANK YOU to the SAPD! We had some parents who were ticketed for parking in the red fire zone in the front circle. You may wait for students in your car in the fire zones, but it is a no parking zone. The alley is also a no parking area, so you could be ticketed for leaving your car in that area also. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2013-2014 Registration Kindergarten Roundup will be the first week of May. If you have a child who will be 5 years old on or before September 1st, you can pick up a registration packet that week. We look forward to meeting you!
Are you moving to San Angelo? If you will be new to Bonham for the 2013-14 school year, call or email us. We will be happy to mail you a registration packet so your child is placed in a class and ready to go in August. Call 325-947-3917, or email lbrown@saisd.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bad Weather Day May 20th - Holiday if not used for bad weather ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Student Medication By law parents must come to the office to sign a Request to Supervise Medicine at School form if a student needs to take medication at school. Please do not send medication to school with your child. Parents are required to bring in ANY medication to the office. This includes all prescription drugs and over the counter drugs, including cough drops. All medication must be in its original container and properly labeled. For over the counter medicine, we must follow the label directions. Be sure to check the age and/or weight requirements for all medication. These policies are in place to ensure the health, safety, and welfare of all of our students. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please remember to have your kids on campus by 7:40. All classes begin the day with a warm up activity to get them thinking for the day. We want all kids ready to learn at 7:45. We make every minute count in every classroom. We appreciate your support in having kids at school on time!
------------------------------------------------------------------------ Afternoon Traffic We do our best to keep our students safe during afternoon pickup time. We have been clearing our campus on most days by 3:00. We have 470 kids, and our goal is to make sure all are safe. It is my understanding that some people have had issues with others being very impatient. I ask that you please refrain from rude comments and/or gestures in the school zone. Anger is not going help, and increases the likelihood of an accident. Please do not cut in line, but if someone does, don't allow that to anger you. We can not police all of the cars, so we need your help by ignoring those who do not do as we ask. Also, please allow day care buses and regular buses the right of way when entering the parking lots. These buses need to get to other campuses, so we do our best to get them loaded and on their way. Again, our main goal is to keep students safe. If everyone will follow our traffic procedures below, we can clear our campus quickly and safely. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Home Access Center (HAC) HAC will be available starting September 4, 2012. HAC is available to parents/guardians to monitor student grades. If you have an account and have forgotten your password, you may contact the school for assistance. Julie Eagan will be able to assist you after September 1st. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bonham is a NO BULLYING School! Each year we continue to educate our students about bullying. We often recieve calls from parents who feel thier child is being bullied due to name calling, minor physical issues, etc. Most of these behaviors, especially for our younger students, are normal social behaviors. Kids are learning to get along, share, and play among a large group of kids. Our staff continually works to correct these behaviors through various teaching strategies, consequences, and rewards. When students tell adults about these behaviors, in most cases, it is not a bullying situation. Usually the students work things out with little teacher intervention and all is good. But.... We have posted the following in all classrooms: BULLYING HAPPENS... when someone with greater power unfairly hurts someone with less power over and over again. We hope you will help us make our school a NO BULLY school by discussing this definition with your child/children. If a child is being bullied, you will often see the following warning signs: a drop in grades, loss of interest in activities such as sports, clubs, etc., withdrawn body language, frequent complaints about heath, sudden mood changes, and these are just a few. In most cases, children who are being bullied don't tell due to fear. So, if you see major changes in your child's behavior please take action by talking to them, calling the school, talking to coaches, and any other people your child may spend time with. Sudden major behavior changes may be your child's way of asking for help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bell Schedule Morning Students will be released at 7:35 to go to class from the gym and cafeteria. First bell will ring at 7:40 - all students should be on campus. Tardy bell will ring at 7:45. All K - 1st may go to the cafeteria from 7:15 to 7:35 Drop off for K and 1st is the front circle by the flag pole. . All 2nd - 5th may go to the gym from 7:15 to 7:35 Drop off 2nd and 3rd at back circle. Drop off 4th and 5th in alley.
Afternoon 2:50 Release time for all classes. K and 1st - Front Circle 2nd and 3rd - Back Circle 4th and 5th - Alley If you have more than one child, they will be at the youngest child's pickup area. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bonham Breakfast For Champions Breakfast will be served to all students at NO charge in their classroom from 7:40 to 7:55. Students are not allowed to bring breakfast from home or a restaurant due to grant requirements. Please have your kids here by 7:40 if you want them to eat breakfast. Students who arrive to school after 7:50 will not be able to have breakfast. Class will begin at 8:00, so all breakfast items will be cleared away at 7:55. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Traffic Procedures Pull up as far as possible in the circles and alley so we can unload and load more students. Please stay to the left on Southland, and also stay in line. Drop off and pick up on the curb, not on the driver's side of the car. Students will not be allowed to cross traffic. Please turn right out of the circles. Turning left holds up the entire line. ***Please do not enter staff parking lots located on the west side of the campus and behind the portables. It is not safe to drop off students in these areas. We also need the parking space for staff. Parking Visitor parking is in the front parking lot on Southland. Our school has very little parking, so we ask that in the mornings and afternoons you use our circles and alley to drop off and pick up students. If you leave your car in one of the circles or the alley you can be ticketed by the police due to the firelane and the city no parking zone in the alley. The alley is also one way. At the end of the day, we know many parents of our kindergarten and first grade students like to park and meet thier child/children in the front circle. Having a crowd of parents in front of the school makes it difficult for teachers to monitor their students. Please get in the habit of pulling through the circle to pick up your child/children. If you do get out of your car, please wait behind the cones or in the courtyard. These procedures are for the safety of all students. We need to monitor our students closely, and these procedures help us to do that. If all parents will follow these procedures, we will have less tardies in the mornings and we can clear our campus in 10 minutes or less every afternoon. Please use our traffic circles and alley to drop off and pick up your child/children. THANK YOU for your cooperation! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Campus Visitors All visitors must check in at the office. A photo ID is required. You will be given a visitor pass once you check in.
If you want to have lunch with your child you need to check in at the office and then wait for your child in the cafeteria. Please make contact with the teacher so she is aware you are on campus. Parents may eat with their child on the stage at the visitor table, or outside at a picnic table.
If you have an appointment with staff, please let our office staff know so they can direct you to the appropriate place.
