Welcome to Eagle View Elementary!

School Mission Statement

Together we will be

Safe,

Respectful,

Responsible,

And

Successful!

Student Morning Drop-Off: You may either drop your student off from your vehicle or walk your student into school. To drop off from your vehicle you may drive through the very front drive and stop at the front walk to allow your student to disembark and enter the school. Please be patient with other parents and cars while they drop their students off. To walk your student into the building, please park in the visitor or main (East) parking lot, and walk with your student across the walks and into school.  Please do NOT allow students to walk alone across the walks.

After-school Pickup: Busses leave by 2:30. Parent pickup should be at 2:20. Parents, please arrive early to pick up your children, park in visitor or East parking lot and walk to the front porch of the building to pick up your children. Students are not allowed to leave front porch without parent/guardian escort back to your car. After school vehicles are not allowed to drive or park in the front of the building for safety reasons. Also, please do not leave your children at school after 2:20. Supervising students after school hours takes teachers and staff away from other important preparation duties.

Changes to Pick-Up Plans: If you need to change the pick-up plans for your student you must do so before 1:00pm. We need time to ensure that pick-up plans are properly relayed to all parties concerned. After 1:00pm, please avoid changing the pick-up plans for your student.

Early Check-Out: All early check-outs should be arranged in advance with the front office before 1:00pm. Checking students out after 1:00pm is counterproductive to their school day. Please avoid this except in unavoidable circumstances.

Anti-Bullying Policy at Eagle View Elementary

Bullying is NOT tolerated at school. We should treat others with respect. Do not say, write, draw or do mean things to or about anyone else. If you do, your teacher or the principal will discipline you. Be a Buddy! Not a Bully!! We use CAST as a first line of defense against bullying.

CAST

C – CALM: Stay Calm

A – AWAY: Walk Away

S – STOP: Tell the bully to STOP!

T – TELL: Tell an adult if they do not stop

CAST works so well because sometimes people don’t know what they are doing or saying is mean. Telling the bully to STOP and explaining that you don’t like being treated that way gives them the chance to stop and change their behavior. We can fix a lot of our own problems this way.

Sometimes though, bullying can continue even though you have gone to an adult for help. When this happens DON’T GIVE UP! Keep using CAST, by staying calm, telling the bully to STOP loudly enough for an adult to hear. If the bully does not stop, go to an adult right away to tell them what is happening.  If you have already told the adult once, tell them again. The bully may have been in trouble at first and simply needs to be in trouble again, until he or she learns that they should not treat people meanly.

Also STAND UP FOR OTHERS that you see are being bullied. Tell the bully to stop treating them that way, and help the other person to walk away. Again if the bully does not stop, go tell and adult what is happening.

Eagle View Elementary Dress Code

Parents, please be aware of these regulations as you are buying clothes for the new school year.  We would like to highlight and remind you of the school and district policies dealing with student dress code.  For a more detailed description of the Uintah School District’s dress code, please see Uintah School District Policy 007.0215

Immodest Clothing-District Policy 007.0215 1.3 Immodest clothing, accessories, hairdos (abnormally colored hair) or personal adornments which result in the disruption of the educational climate (draw undue attention of students or staff) such as baggy low-hanging pants, tank tops, halter tops, tube tops, tops that show the midriff (while sitting or standing), excessively tight or excessively short clothing (clothing above the top of the knee) is prohibited. Administrators and staff will make the necessary judgment.

Profanity, violence, alcohol, drugs, tobacco 007.0215 1.4 Clothing, accessories, and other personal adornments which display inappropriate language or illustrations, (such as sexual innuendos) or which promote violence, alcohol, drugs, or tobacco are prohibited at school or at school-sponsored activities.

Gang clothing-007.0215 1.5 Clothing, accessories, and personal adornments which display gang symbols are prohibited at school or at school-sponsored activities.

Definition:  Gang symbols include any article or color of clothing, badge, sign, lettering, hairdo, jewelry, emblem, symbol or other personal display or adornment, which is intended by a student, or is recognized or acknowledged by students, to designate a gang or to signify affiliation with, participation in, or approval of a gang.

 

This includes solid red, blue, or black shirts, or wearing two solid shirts of different colors. 

 

Skeletons, and skulls and crossbones- Clothing that represents violent or disturbing skeletons, skulls and crossbones etc. (as determined by school staff) are prohibited at school.  In the area in which we live we have a high rate of death and suicide, people do not need to be reminded of this at school.  The grim nature of this type of clothing becomes a disruption to the educational process.

In all matters relating to individual dress and grooming, students in the Uintah School District are required to exercise good judgment, exhibit responsible behavior, and endeavor to reflect respect for themselves, their school, and their community.

Attendance

Research shows a direct correlation between school attendance and academic success.  No amount of worksheets can make up for the direct instruction and classroom interaction missed when a student is absent from school.  Federal mandates of No Child Left Behind requires that students be in school a minimum of 93% of the time, which is 56 of 60 days each trimester.  Parents should notify the school of a student’s absence within 24 hours of an absence. Absences without notice from parents within 24 hours of the absence will be considered truancies. If a student misses more than four days during a trimester, the parent must contact the attendance office (781-3146 Ext. 1600) for an administrative conference.  It is expected that a student will have no more than four tardies and/or four early check-outs per grading period.  Please make sure your student is on time each day.  After four tardies and/or four early check-outs in a grading period, students will be required to make up time during recess, specialist pullouts, or after school make-up sessions. Parents will need to provide transportation home for after school make-up sessions.  Every Day Matters.

The principal will identify and work closely from the beginning of the year with students whose attendance histories show excessive absenteeism and/or tardies. 

TRUANCY

A student is considered truant if they miss part of or a full day of school without authorization.  Truant students can receive a truancy citation, administrative discipline, or have attendance monitored by the school. 

Court referrals-Students with excessive excused absences or multiple truancies may be referred to the courts for educational neglect.  Eagle View Elementary sends out 2 warning letters before referring a student or parents to court for attendance issues. 

Tardies and Early Check out – Any combination of 4 tardies and/or early checkouts equals 1 absence.  Students can only be checked out through the office. 

School Visitors and Check-In and Check-Out Procedures

We welcome parents and volunteers in our school. Please sign the volunteer page at registration if you wish to volunteer at school.  For safety purposes, however, all visitors must sign in at the school office when they enter the school. Regular visitors may be asked to fill out a volunteer form for your convenience and safety concerns. In order to check out a student from school, an adult’s name must be on the “Check-Out List” filled out at registration.  An adult must come into the building to sign for the student at the time of check-out. Students will not be called out of class until the parent/guardian appears in the office. Please make sure that all names of persons whom you wish to be able to pick up your student from school appear on the list.  

 

 

Uintah School District’s policy 10.0600 STUDENT USE OF A PRIVATELY OWNED ELECTRONIC DEVICE

Uintah School District (USD) will allow students to use privately owned electronic devices to access the USD wireless network in all schools. This wireless access provided to the devices is designed to enhance the students’ educational experience and outcomes. Connecting to the USD Wi-Fi network with personal devices is a privilege, not a right, and it is not a requirement for students in USD. Permission to bring and use privately owned devices is contingent upon adherence to USD guidelines. If a student’s use of a privately owned device disrupts the educational environment, whether on USD’s network or other network, in the sole opinion of USD, such violations may result in disciplinary action as outlined in USD’s student conduct policy.

All students may use a privately owned electronic “Internet ready” device on the USD wireless network by completing and submitting the Acceptable Use Agreement.

 

Teacher permission is necessary for student use of a privately owned electronic device during classroom instruction or inside the classroom … The teacher may request at any time that the privately owned electronic device be turned off and put away. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action not limited to revocation of access to the network, and confiscation of device.

Consequences of General Use-Violation of school or district policies, local, state and/or federal laws while using a personal electronic device on the Uintah School District wireless network will result in appropriate disciplinary and/or legal action as specified in the Student Handbook and Conduct Code, School Board policy as well as by local, state and/or federal law.

Privately Owned Electronic Device Security Risks-Laptops and other portable electronic devices are vulnerable to loss and theft. These devices should be engraved or otherwise permanently marked with owner information. Students and parents who choose to allow their children to bring privately owned electronic devices on school property must assume total responsibility for these devices and be aware of all risks. If a privately owned electronic device is stolen, this must be reported to a building administrator immediately. Per Uintah School District policy, the school district will not accept responsibility for loss, damage, theft, damage or non-working of personal property. Laptops and all other personal electronic devices that are lost, stolen, or damaged are the responsibility of the student and their parents or guardians. The school district and school district personnel are not responsible for repair, correction, troubleshooting, or malfunctioning of personal hardware or software.

Uintah School District reserves the right to confiscate and examine a privately owned electronic device and search its contents if there is reason to believe that school district policies or local, state and/or federal laws have been violated.”

Food & Toys

Food (including gum and candy), toys and other non-school items are not allowed at school, so please do not bring them with you.

Students may bring home lunch, but all food items should stay in your lunch container until lunch time.


Stearmer’s Scholar Dollars

Do a good job, do your work and you get paid! Just like in real life when we work hard at our job we get paid. At school we get paid in lots of ways. Following the rules, doing well on a test, turning in all of our homework, being respectful, listening to the teacher and staying on task are all ways we do a good job at school. Learning new things, getting good grades, good test scores, more privileges, participating in activities, making others proud of us are all ways we can get paid at school.

Here at Eagle View though, sometimes if someone special is watching us we might be caught being good and they might give us a Stearmer Scholar Dollar! Scholar Dollars can be traded in for a prize in the office, from our teachers or can be collected as a class for a really BIG prize J. So keep working hard and maybe you’ll get a little extra in your daily paycheck here at Eagle View School!

  • 15 S-Dollars = Pencil for everyone in your class!
  • 25 S-Dollars = Popcorn for the whole class!
  • 50 S-Dollars = Ice cream sandwiches for everyone in class!
  • 75 S-Dollars = Rootbeer floats for everyone in class!
  • 100 S-Dollars = Class pizza party!!!


 

School-Wide Discipline Plan

Blue Light: Everyone starts here. You are doing what you are supposed to and have received no warnings. The teacher is able to do their job in class, you and others are able to learn.

Green Light: This is a verbal reminder to give you the opportunity to change your behavior so that you can get back on track and focus on learning.

Yellow Light: This is a written warning, where you are being told for the second time that something you are doing is not appropriate. You or the teacher will write your name and your problem behavior on the class clipboard. You may receive a consequence for your continued misbehavior and the teacher may call your parent after a Yellow Light.

Red Light: This is a final and clear instruction to stop what you are doing and that you have now definitely earned a classroom consequence. You or the teacher will put your name and behavior on the clipboard again. The teacher may give you any of the following consequences. The teacher will call your parent after a Red Light. Possible consequences include, but are not limited to:

  • Time-Out to calm down
  • Loss of valued time (recess, specialist, lunch, etc.)
  • Parent Meeting
  • Think Time with an Alarming Note
  • Behavior Contract

 

Office Referral: If you choose to go past a red light you will be given an office referral. At this point, nothing the teacher has done has worked to help you make more safe, respectful and responsible choices. You are now facing a principal’s conference and possible in or out of school suspension. At this point the School Discipline Matrix below goes into effect.

Safe School Referral: in cases where you have broken a safe school rule you will be referred immediately to the office.
