According to the Dorchester School newsletter, there are several changes that parents and students should note:
- School will begin at 8:10 a.m. this year for both elementary and junior/high school students.
- Dorchester Public Schools will have a close campus this year. All students, except seniors, must remain on campus throughout the school day. Students may not walk home or downtown for lunch.
- Parents must call the school office by 9 a.m. if their student is going to be absent. The school will likely contact you if they have not heard from an absent student's parents by 9 a.m.
- Under new state law that took effect last year, students entering school for the first time, including kindergartners and transfer students from out of state, must provide proof of a vision evaluation within six months prior to the student starting school. The vision evaluation is in addition to the physical exam.
Some schools are requiring student bookbags or backpacks be clear plastic or mesh. That's something all schools should require in this day and age. Maybe the board can look into making that mandatory.
ReplyDeleteISNT THERE MORE TO TALK ABOUT BUT THE SCHOOL THING, ITS GETTING OLD.
ReplyDeleteno way anonymous! Education is one of the most important things in society! Finding a way to improve education should be a top priority for everyone. It is not getting old. What is getting old is everyone posting about how this issue should take the back burner yet they are to ignorant to learn anything about it!
