COMMUNICATIONS
INCLEMENT WEATHER
All Saints Catholic School will adhere to the decision of the Kenosha Unified School District regarding the closing of school due to inclement weather, which will be announced 6 a.m. and 7a.m. through local media. If power is available, an email message will be sent to the ASCS parent distribution list.
Children will not be held outside in the morning, or go out for recess if the wind chill is zero or below.
CLOSING OF SCHOOL ONCE IN SESSION
Once the school day has begun, if it is necessary to send the children home, every attempt will be made to contact parents, using information on the Emergency Card. School is otherwise never closed without a written note of explanation.
EMERGENCY INFORMATION
No child is ever sent home for illness or any other reason unless the school has personally contacted the parents, either at home or at their place of employment.
An Emergency Information Sheet is to be completed and returned the first week of school each year. It is absolutely essential you notify the office in writing whenever there is a change of work, home address, phone number, etc.
CONFERENCES
Education is a parent-child-teacher endeavor. Our goal is to maintain open, positive communication with parents through conferences, calls, notes, report cards, and participation in Open House and other events throughout the year.We want to provide a time and place for some mutual sharing regarding the growth of each child and the realization of his/her potential. Conferences have been planned for both first and second quarter. First quarter conferences will be held in November. Second quarter conferences will be held in January. Children are expected to attend these conferences with their parents.
We encourage parent interest in student progress throughout the year. Parents or teachers may request a conference in addition to those that are scheduled. Please call your child’s teacher to arrange a time.
Teacher/Parent Communications:
- Teachers will host a parent meeting in September to provide an overview as to what the parents/students can expect during this school year.
- StandardsScore will be updated weekly to include scores on tests, projects, homework completion and to indicate missing, late, incomplete student work.
- Email and telephone communication will provide an important link between teachers and parents.
REPORT CARDS
Student performance evaluation is a mutual concern of teachers, parents, and students. While daily work, class participation, written assignments both in and out of the classroom and test performance are clear indicators of each student’s progress, a formal report card is also shared with students and parents each quarter. The dates are noted on the school calendar. Students will have many opportunities to receive feedback about their progress and will be encouraged to evaluate their own work as well.
StandardsSCORE
StandardScore (formerly WebGrader) is a system that allows you to access your children’s grades, homework completion and progress throughout the school year. A password will be issued to you on an annual basis to access this material at http://login.clihome.com/.
SCHOOL-TO-HOME
The school’s newsletter “Wednesday Wireless” will be emailed to all families as well as posted on the school website: www.allsaintskenosha.org. The purpose of this weekly letter is to communicate pertinent school and parish information to each family. It should not include solicitations from outside organizations without the principal’s approval and include only information pertaining to the entire school. Any other communication will be distributed on a classroom level. A paper copy will be sent home to families upon request.
Materials to be included in these communications, or distributed to the classroom, must be approved by the principal and must be in the school office by noon on Monday.
