BARTON TOWNSHIP SCHOOL RULES

GENERAL RULES

1. The East Gibson School Corporation requires that for the protection of the school child a

permit be on file at the school before medication may be given. Medications prescribed for an individual child shall be kept in the original container bearing the original pharmacy label showing prescription number, date filled, physician's name, directions for use, name

of drug, and the student's name. All medications must be kept in the office. Indiana State

Law no longer allows school personnel to send medicines home with children. Exceptions

are insulin, inhalers and adrenaline. Medicines can only be released to parents or adults

specified by parents.

2. Proper supervision begins each day at 7:35 A.M. Students will not be admitted to

the building until this time. The "tardy" tone sounds at 8:00 A.M.

3. If a child is to be absent from school, the parent should telephone the office at 795-2292

by 9:00 a.m. that day. An answering machine is available for your convenience. If unable

to notify the school the parent may send a note explaining that absence to school the next

day.

If your child has a doctor or dentist appointment, please return a signed

excuse from their office. The student is still counted absent, but it will be

an excused absent. Please do not forget to use the arranged absence form (available in

the office) when prior knowledge is available of an upcoming student absence.

Prearranged absences, if properly approved, are excused.

4. If your child arrives late or is picked up early you must sign the student in/out in

the office.

students who were neither tardy nor absent from any class for any reason during the school

to the office when visiting or picking up your child.
