School Policies
Orenientation
The following forms are required for registration, in addition to the enrollment forms:
- Original Birth Certificate or Passport
- Completed Immunization Record
- Current Burbank City Utility Bill (Water or Power) in the same name as parent enrolling child*
- Picture ID of parent
- Health Examination form completed by the doctor (This is required prior to the beginning of the 1st grade; however, if your child needs immunizations to begin Kindergarten, you may want to have this done at the same time.)
- Report card from previous school, except for incoming Kindergarten students.
*If the utilities are not in your name, the person whose name appears on the bill needs to come with you when your papers are completed, and bring his/her bill along with a picture ID. That person will also need to sign a statement that you are living in his/her home or apartment.
Attendance
When a student is absent or tardy for any reason, he or she must bring a note to the teacher giving the reason for the absence or tardiness. If a student has been absent for five (5) consecutive days, including weekends and holidays, he or she must be readmitted through the office.
If the student has been excluded for pediculosis (head lice) or chicken pox, the parent must have the child checked by the School Nurse, either at this school or at the closest school where the nurse is in attendance on that day. The school office can direct the parent to the nurse’s location in this situation. The nurse is scheduled to work at Stevenson every Wednesday.
Leaving School During School Hours
Pupils will be released from school only to authorized adults during school hours. Any student leaving school early for a doctor or dentist appointment must bring a note stating the time the parent is Picking them up. The parent should then come to the office to sign out the student at that time. The child should not be sent to the office until buzzed for. No child will be allowed to walk home during school hours.
Telephone Calls
Students will be allowed to use the telephone in the office for extreme emergencies only. They will be allowed to call for lunch money and to call if they are detained after school for more than ten minutes for disciplinary reasons. Parents are urged to make all after-school plans with pupils before pupils go to school. This will eliminate problems of calling and leaving messages for pupils at the office.
