2022-2023 Parent/Student Handbook

Communication between the family and the school is of vital importance.  Faith Baptist School uses Class Dojo for Teachers to brag on our students, send reminders of special occasions, chat with parents about a particular topic and to keep the family and school on the same page.  The classroom teacher will invite parents to be a part of the Class Dojo  during the first week of school.  

6:45 - 8:15 - Before Care

8:15 - 8:30 - Doors are open for student arrival

8:30 - 3:00 - Instructional Day

3:00 - 3:15 - Student Dismissal

3:15 - 5:20 - After Care

Students should bring a reusable water bottle every day

Students should bring their lunch and eating utensils

We have a trashless lunch: all food/drink containers and any remaining food/drinks will be sent back home in the student's lunch box

FBS does not have a school nurse; therefore, we give first aid only. Students who begin to feel ill while at school, or who are injured at school, will be assessed and parents will be notified.  

Parents are encouraged to schedule the administration of student medication while at home. In cases where medication must be administered at school, the following procedures apply:

All medications should be taken directly to the Director's office by the parent. Students are not allowed to carry any medications.

Medications must be in a properly labeled container that includes the directions for administration.

Parents must complete a medication administration form before medication can be administered.

When a student is absent, the parent should communicate with the classroom teacher through Class Dojo. Please give a reason for the absence.   Should a student's absence for personal illness exceed three consecutive days, the student must present an excuse from a physician or health clinic.  

Parents follow a pre-determined route through the parking lot .  Students will be assisted to/from the building by FBS staff.  Drivers must display a provided Car Tag in order to pick up student(s). 

Instruction begins promptly at 8:30 am, therefore, students arriving at the school at 8:30 will be late for the beginning of instruction.

Those arriving after 8:30 will have to be signed in by a parent.   

To aid students and parents

 in making decisions about appropriate dress for FBS, the following guidelines are established:  

• Hoods and hats are not permitted inside the building.
• Students are expected to come to school wearing neat and clean clothes.
• Students should wear sneakers and clothing appropriate for physical education on PE Days (Monday/Wednesday/Friday)

In the event of inclement weather, FBS will typically follow the Dodea decision on weather-based late start or cancellations.  However, we will also send out a message on ClassDojo to confirm closure or late start as soon as we have confirmation.
