NO PARKING
    Signs have been posted around the bus circle declaring that
    parking is prohibited in this area. The fire code calls for a
    clear lane to allow fire trucks access to the building should
    an emergency occur. The bus circle serves as a fire lane as
    well as for bus loading.
     
    We ask for your cooperation in complying with these fire
    regulations. We will continue to permit access to the build­
    ing from the bus circle if you are simply dropping off or pick­
    ing up a student at times other than bus times. In these
    cases, we would ask that you continue
    not
    to drive or park
    in the bus circle between 8:30 – 8:50 a.m. or between 2:30
    3:15 p.m.

    SAFETY TIPS FOR SUPERVISING CHILDREN IN PUBLIC PLACES
     
    1.
    When in a public facility, always accompany children to the restroom.
     
    2.
    Caution children to avoid any adults asking for assistance or directions of any kind.
    Grown­ups do not ask children for help.
     
    3.
    If children become separated from you while shopping, instruct them to look for people
    who can be sources of help within the store. For example, a security guard, store sales
    person, etc. They should never go to the parking lot to find the car.
     
    4.
    Instruct children never to leave a store with an unknown person no matter what that adult
    tells them.
     
    5.
    For children staying home alone on school vacations, teach them not to open the door.
    Teach them how to call for emergencies.
     
    6.
    Instruct children how to answer the telephone and make sure they do not let anyone know
    they are home alone. Have the telephone number of a neighbor available for their use.
     
    7.
    Children should always check first with you or a person in charge before they go anywhere.
    It is important to know who they are with, and their whereabouts at all times.
     
    8.
    Children should use the Buddy System when going places. It is more fun and much safer.
     
    9.
    Children should say no and then go and tell about any suspicious incidents and report
    them to a parent, school official, clergy member, or other trusted adult.
     
    10.
    Parents should never leave children alone at movies, video arcades, skating rinks, etc., as
    a convenient “babysitter” while they are shopping. These are “high risk” places for abduc
    tors or molesters to find children.

    MEDICAL RELEASE FORM (must be signed)
     
    Dear Parent, It has been brought to our attention the need for a medical release form signed by a parent /
    guardian in the event your child needs hos pital care. If your child was injured and you were not available to
    give verbal consent, the ambulance/EMT would give first aid and would deliver him/her to the nearest
    hospital. At that point the hospital
    COULD
    NQI care for the child until consent was given by a parent /
    guardian unless the injury was life threatening. You have the choice of not giving consent. You may also
    choose the hospital he/she is taken to.
    Consent Not Given Authorization for Consent Treatment
    I, (print)_________________________________, parent/guardian of the child/children listed below, do
    hereby consent to any diagnostic procedure or medical care which is deemed advisable by any licensed
    physician and / or surgeon on the hospital staff of
    the nearest available hospital.
