EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS
Parents - Please take steps toward emergency preparedness and encouraging them to join in on your preparedness activities.
This September is "A Time to Remember. A Time to Prepare.
This September will mark the ten year anniversary of 9/11; we will remember those lost, honor our first responders, and renew our commitment to prepare and plan for emergencies. We are pleased to announce that Soulsbyville School is joining the Ready Campaign, founded after 9/11 to increase the preparedness throughout all communities in the U.S., and taking an active role in helping our community prepare for emergencies.

What does it mean to be prepared?
Being prepared means Tuolumne County schools and districts have implemented, developed, and communicated crisis plans. See the U.S. Department of Education's Readiness and Emergency Management for Schools Technical Assistance Center at http://rems.ed.gov.

STUDENT DRESS CODE: Thank you to everyone that participated in sharing information and to the committee that reviewed our student dress code. The committee established four goals to achieve while making recommendations for any changes in the student dress code: 1) maintain the dignity of students, 2) ease of enforcement, 3) reduce distraction of the learning environment, and 4) opportunities of education for parents and students. The amended student dress code is printed below and in effect immediately; the changes have been underlined. We thank you for your support and cooperation. If you need any assistance concerning the student dress code, please contact an administrator
STUDENT DRESS CODE
Dress Code rules and regulations are established to maintain an atmosphere conducive to learning. One of our goals is to prepare students to become productive citizens in our society; this training includes learning how to dress properly for various situations including school. This dress code applies to the school day and other events such as dances, graduation or field trips.
* No portion of a student’s chest, belly or bottom may show; no bare backs or undergarments may show
* No low cut shirts or tops. All shirts, tops, and dresses must cover the shoulders and torso
* Shorts, skirts, & dresses must come close to the knee
* Pajama style clothing is not permitted
* Clothing may not advertise alcohol, drugs, tobacco or any other offensive material.
* Any style of clothing or accessory is unacceptable if it:
* interferes with or distracts others from the learning process
* constitutes a threat to the safety of the student or others
* affects how others react to the student
* is offensive to students or staff
* Be prepared for PE
*Appropriate shoes must be worn for PE
* Dress Code violations
* Students wearing clothing that is identified as inappropriate will be
sent to the office to:
* call home OR borrow clothing from our clothing closet
* The inappropriate clothing item will be kept until the loaner is
returned, clean
FEBRUARY HOLIDAYS – School will not be in session on Monday, February 13th in observance of Abraham Lincoln’s birthday and Monday, February 20th in observance of President’s Day.
REGULAR SCHOOL ATTENDANCE – Research shows that children who are in school most of the time do better on standardized tests. Studies also show that kids who are absent more often score lower on standardized tests. Children can copy notes or make up an assignment, but they can never get back what’s most important: the discussions, the questions, the explanations by the teacher and the thinking that makes learning come alive. Being late for school hurts a child’s learning too. A student who is ten minutes late every day will miss thirty hours of instruction during the school year. Your child’s success in school depends on having a solid educational background – one that can only be gained through regular school attendance.
UPCOMING EVENT - This year’s History Fair and Spaghetti Dinner Fund Raiser will be on Wednesday, February 22nd. The History Fair will be held in the old gym. Judges are needed to evaluate the history projects. No previous experience is required. Coffee, bagels, fruit and donuts will be provided for judges! If you are interested in helping judge the History Fair on Feb. 21, please contact Mr. Sweitzer at 532-1419 ext. 207. The spaghetti dinner will be served in the cafeteria. A raffle and auction will also be held in conjunction with the dinner. This fund raising effort will help cover some of the costs of the 6th grade Headlands trip in March.
