School Procedures

The information below is provided to help you understand a few of the school procedures we would like everyone to observe.

Visitors

Visitors on campus must stop in the office, sign in and obtain a visitor badge.

Volunteers

When volunteering for any activity at school, please check in at the office and sign in our volunteer "guest book" on your own sheet. We want you to become known to all our students, staff, and other volunteers and ask that you make sure to put on your name tag before beginning your activity. Our students have been instructed, as part of our personal safety program, that adults wearing volunteer name tags are invited guests of the school.

Parking Lot Safety

Many parents drop off students in the east parking lot from 8:05 to 8:20 A.M. Safety is our primary concern. Please help us by noting the following:

When dropping off, please pull forward as far as possible or follow the newest drop-off procedure show below which was published in the September 20, 2006 Entz Echo.
Please let children out on the curbside only.
Please leave as soon as possible to allow others the same opportunity.
Some parents pull into the parking lot and park their cars in a parking space. This is fine. If you do this, please walk your child to the sidewalk to maintain safety.

Note: Please do NOT leave your vehicle unattended at the drop off area. Thank you for following these guidelines.

New Drop Off Procedure

1. Enter from Adobe and use the area designated on the map as:

“D.O. # 1” meaning, Drop Off Area #1. There is a gate in the far east corner that is open. The children can safely exit the car and enter the playground through the gate. This is the recommended drop off area.

2. If the line becomes too long the next best option is to proceed to drop off area number 2 designated on the map as “D.O. #2” being sure to pull forward to the far end of the pick up/drop off lane near the music room.

Lost and Found

If your child loses an article of clothing, school materials, a lunch box or other possessions, please check the lost and found located outside the Media Center. It's a good idea to label personal possessions so that we may easily locate the owner. Unclaimed items are donated to local charities periodically.

Reporting Absences

Please notify the Entz office at 472-7307 as soon as possible, providing the student's name, grade, teacher's name and the reason for the absence. If your child's absence will be more than two days, notify the teacher if you need to request homework.

Messages

Please make sure your children have their after school instructions before they leave home in the morning. We cannot guarantee messages will get relayed and interrupting classrooms with messages is very disruptive.

Classroom Visits

Please do not go to your child's classroom even if you are just dropping off homework, lunch, or money without checking in first. We would like very much not to interrupt learning and testing time. If you are on campus to go beyond the office and are not wearing a visitor or volunteer badge, you can expect to be asked by our staff to go to the office and sign in. (Please be patient with us while we get to know you and if we have to ask for I.D.)

Lock Your Bike

Bicycles are brought to campus at the risk of the student/owner. Bicycles are not insured by the school. Entz does not take responsibility for lost, stolen, or vandalized bikes.
