Please limit telephone messages for your child to emergencies. When the office staff has to relay messages for students, it causes interruptions in classroom instructions and student learning. Arrangements for after-school plans should be made before sending your child to school. A student may use office telephones in an emergency only. Personnel cell phones are not to be turned on during school hours.

It is unsafe for children to arrive at school more than ten minutes before classes begin because there is no adult supervision until 7:25. Please do not allow your child to arrive at school before 7:25. The school provides supervision from 7:25-7:45 and 2:30-2:40. Children should enter the building through their classroom doors.
The instructional day ends at 2:30 PM. Please allow your student a few minutes after the bell to clean up, and pack up. Students will be dismissed through their outside classroom door once he/she has gathered all personal items and homework. NOTE: Some students may take several minutes to exit the building after instruction ends at 2:30pm.
Two types of absences will be documented; full-day absences and partial-day absences. A partial absence is defined as the student entering or departing class ten (10) or more minutes from the scheduled start or end time of the school day and is considered a disruption to the learning environment. School administration will make the decision whether or not an absence is excused or unexcused in accordance with Superintendent Policy (Code:5020). Submitting documentation for absences (doctor’s notes, paperwork from the courthouse, etc.) throughout the year will help your family avoid possible attendance referrals per Colorado State Law / Superintendent Attendance Policy. Parents may excuse up to five (5) absences per semester without documentation. Absences beyond five (5) will be considered unexcused unless proper documentation is provided.
Students leaving school prior to regular dismissal time must be signed out of the school by a parent or a person authorized by the parent. No students shall leave the school grounds while school is in session unless they are under the supervision of a certified employee of the district or being checked out by their parent or a parent-authorized adult. Check out at the office is required. Under no circumstances shall a child be released to an adult who does not first appear in the office. The members of the office staff shall exercise all caution to assure themselves that the student is being released to persons authorized to have custody of the child. Students leaving early will be marked as having a partial absence.
The following are considered excused absences at Stukey Elementary School:
Vacations or non-emergency activities should be scheduled for days or times when students are not in school. Requests for absences to be excused due to vacation or for other non-emergency reasons will be approved at the discretion of school administration. Factors in consideration of such requests shall include the nature of the absence, the student’s academic standing, and the student’s attendance history. We strongly encourage you to schedule vacations in conjunction with the school calendar. Please be advised that school absences accrued during your vacation time still impact your child’s attendance record. If you know your student will be absent more than three days, please contact the office for a pre-arranged absence form.
Children are counted tardy if they arrive after 7:35 a.m.
All visitors to the school are required to use the front door only. Please check in at the office and obtain a visitors pass from our Raptor System before proceeding to the classroom. You will need a valid state or government issued photo I.D.These procedures are in place for your child’s safety. For the safety of all students, please do not enter the building from the classroom door.
Emergency contacts for all students are kept on file in the office. PLEASE notify the office or your child’s teacher of any change in your address, telephone numbers, or persons to contact in case of an emergency.
Parents are welcomed and encouraged to visit the school and classrooms at any time during the school day. Please schedule in advance with your child’s teacher before your visit. When a parent/guardian does not make prior arrangements for a classroom visit, we will ask the teacher if this is a good time for a visit prior to sending parents/guardians to the classroom. Before volunteering at our school we ask that you complete the Volunteer Orientation PowerPoint and sign the Volunteer Code of Conduct. Parent-teacher conferences, however, must be scheduled in advance.
