Visitors on Campus We would love to have you visit and volunteer on our campus! However, for the safety of all of our students, you must follow these procedures:
1. All visitors must sign-in at the school office. 2. If you are planning to be on school campus as a
volunteer during school hours (8:30 a.m.—3 p.m.) you must sign in and have a volunteer tag.
3. The school secretary will issue a nametag for you. This nametag must be visible during your visit.
4. After your visit, please return your visitor’s badge in the front office and sign out.
5. Visitors may not walk on school grounds (including the cafeteria or playground) without a visitor’s badge.
6. If you are on campus without a visitor’s badge, you will be asked to return to the front office.
MEDICATIONS Medication can be administered to students by school personnel using the Request for Assistance with Prescription and Non-prescription Medication Form. This form is available from the school nurse and must be completed and signed by the child’s physician. In addition, students cannot carry any type of medicine in their backpack (ie Advil, Tylenol, over the counter
medicine, inhalers, Epi

Telephones Messages for students and teachers will be given during class only for a serious family or medial emergency.
Students may use the office phone for emergencies (before and after school). Students will not be allowed to use the phone during the school day for forgotten lunches, instruments, homework, etc.
Cell phones– Cell phone use is not permitted during the school day under any circumstances (8:30 a.m.—2:55 p.m. —Think Together students—6:00 p.m.) Student phones will be confiscated if out during school or Think Together hours and will not be returned until a parent conference has been held.
Toys and personal items Students are not allowed to bring personal items such as skateboards, scooters, toys, marbles, balls, cameras, radios, cell phones, electronics, IPADS, IPODS and/or trading cards, etc. to school. These items will be confiscated and will be released to parents at the end of the day. If the problem continues to occur, the principal will retain the items until the end of the school year.
VACATIONS
Vacations during the school year are highly
discouraged! Please be aware that vacations are
treated as unexcused absences. Furthermore, your
child will miss out on important instruction and
could fall behind. Absences longer than 5 days will
result in your child losing their place in our school.
If your child must be out due to an emergency,
please see the teacher for an independent
work study approval two weeks in advance.

Our Vision
Adelante students will achieve academic success,
bilingual and bi-literate proficiency, and
multicultural competency.
Mission
Adelante Academy is a K-8 school that provides an opportunity for all students to achieve high levels of
bilingual proficiency and to develop multicultural competency through a rigorous English and
Spanish dual language immersion instruction program. Our school philosophy is based on the belief that, “one who knows two languages can
contribute in two worlds.” Within this philosophical framework, Adelante values and respects both
languages and all cultures equally, instills a sense of community service in students, develops future
leaders, and involves parents as part of the school learning community.

Attendance Procedures
ABSENCES In order to get the most out of school every day, students must be present and on time. School begins at 8:30 am with our morning opening. Our morning opening is a crucial part of our day as this time allows us to build community. If your child is not in line, he/she will be marked absent/tardy. Excessive tardiness and absences negatively affect learning. Every minute students are here counts! Likewise, every day your child is absent impacts our school financially. If your child must be absent, please call and notify the front office (928-1900) and send a note with your child upon their return to school. Please help us meet our goal of 100% attendance by doing the following:
1. Leave your home earlier so that your child is on time. 2. Make doctor/dental appointments later in the day or after
school as much as possible. 3. Bring students to school even if they have a doctor/dental
appointment – Remember, every minute counts! 4. Plan family vacations during school holidays. 5. Only keep students home when they are very sick.
Thank you for your help in making school a priority! Your child’s success depends on it.
Early Departures Parents wishing to have students released early for a medical appointment, or other reason, must pick up their children in the school office. In order to protect our children, no child will be released to their parent until they are signed out in the school office. Furthermore, students will not be released to other adults that are not listed on child’s emergency card.
Student Emergency Cards The information on your child’s emergency card helps us contact you immediately in the event that your child needs medical attention. Please help us keep this information current by notifying the office as soon as this information changes.
Yard Duty Coverage Keep in mind that we have limited supervision before and after school. A.M. supervision begins at 8:15 a.m. and P.M. supervision ends 15 minutes after students are dismissed. Students are not supervised outside of this time. Please make sure to be on time!
