Social Media Etiquette We love our students and want to partner with you to do what is best for your child! If something is going poorly, please let us know! Email, call, stop by and talk to teachers, counselor, or principal – we want to do our best and work things out. Please do not complain about teachers or Robert Frost on your social media page. We live in a small community and we see many of your posts. We’re all human and make mistakes. We’re all human and have feelings.
Student Discipline We are a PBIS school (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) Our goal is to teach, reteach, and reinforce positive student behaviors. Students aren’t perfect!

We use Off-track forms as a way to reteach and problem solve behaviors with students. We use Minor Referrals as a way to reteach, problem solve, and consequence minor behaviors. We use Major Referrals as a way to reteach, problem solve, and consequence major behaviors.
Nut Management Process This process applies to all products containing peanuts or tree nuts and foods manufactured on equipment or in a factory that processes peanuts or tree nuts. Since manufacturers change how they make food regularly, labels have to be read with each package. Classroom Procedures for Consumption of Nuts and Nut Products: All Classrooms located in the 300 Mezzanine are a Restricted Nut Zone will have a special morning procedure: Every morning a review will be done of what students have in their lunches. If they contain nut products, the lunches need to be taken to the office where the students will go for lunch or students can choose to trade out nut products for a school lunch. The 100 Mezzanine classrooms and 200 Mezzanine classrooms are Nut Awareness Zones and follow these procedures at snack and/or lunch times: All food items containing nut products must be eaten at a designated table closest to the classroom sink. During snack and lunchtime close the classroom door while the product(s) are being consumed. Students are not allowed to trade food. After consumption thoroughly wipe down tables with provided wipes. Students need to thoroughly wash hands. All wrappers should be placed in garbage and the garbage bag cinched up. Nuts are not allowed in common areas (these are Nut Restricted Zones): Library Gym Music Room Mezzanine Area Recess Areas Office Lobby Bus Lines

Getting to and from School: Bus routes are published on our website. Durham School Services is also located in the gym today for questions. If your child is traveling to “special” stop – you must use the bus pass found online or send a note to the office. Drop-off and pick-up will be located in the side parking lot closest to the church. We ask 3 rd graders to always be dropped off and picked up in our parking lot. 4 th and 5 th graders are welcome to use the church parking lot. If your plans change – please contact the office before 2:00!
Intervention and Extension Reading: We will begin every day with 90 minutes of reading. If your child needs more instruction they may receive 30 minutes of extra instruction later during the day. Math: Every student will have 60 minutes of math instruction. If your child needs more instruction they may receive 30 minutes of extra instruction later during the day.
Photo Release We publish student pictures on our website and Facebook page. We also publish a yearbook! We will have parent volunteers and students taking pictures for the yearbook. If you do NOT want your child’s picture taken or published, please let us know! We also ask that you not take and post pictures of students because you may not know that a parent doesn’t want their child’s photo shared on social media!
Attendance It is important to be in school every day . Regular attendance at Robert Frost is attending 95% or more each year. (Missing 9 or fewer days.) If your child does get sick, they need to stay home. A letter will be going home on Friday with a check list to help you make that determination. If your child is not at school and we don’t hear from you, you will receive an automated phone call.
