WELCOMES YOU!!
A LETTER FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Parents,
Welcome to
This handbook has been developed to give you and your
child/children a better understanding of school policies, procedures and
expectations for students' behavior. We believe that all behaviors are the
result of making choices, and we expect children to understand and be
responsible for their actions and how they affect others.
Please read and discuss the handbook with your child. It provides
information that will:
• Assist the staff in
teaching and encouraging students to assume responsibility for their actions.
• Ensure that all students
know and understand our school's expectations.
• Help students to understand
the consequences of their behavior.
• Provide an opportunity for
parents to understand our school’s rules and expectations.
The Trail Wind staff believes in fair and consistent treatment of
all students. With your strong support, we will continue to provide students
with the type of structure and environment necessary for them to be successful.
We look forward to working with your child/children and meeting you during the
upcoming school year.

SCHOOL RULES & BUILDING FOR
SUCCESS
School
Rules
1. Show kindness, courtesy, and respect.
2. Use positive language at all times
3. Cooperate and be respectful to adults and
each other.
Students will listen to adults and follow
directions.
4. Be respectful of property (yours and others).
5.
Move quietly through the building common areas. (Hallways, restrooms,
and lunchrooms)
6. No gum chewing on school premises, indoors
and outdoors.
7.
All toys and other personal property are to be left at home, this
includes electronic
devices. (If cell phones or IPODS are
brought to school, they must remain turned
off during the school day from
that the school is not responsible for lost or stolen personal
property.)
Guidelines for Success
1. Follow directions the first time.
2. Show kindness, courtesy, and respect.
3. Cooperate with others.
4. Demonstrate responsibility.
5. Safety comes first.
THE STEP
PLAN – SCHOOL-WIDE DISCIPLINE PLAN
The STEP
PLAN is a school based discipline system that promotes student responsibility,
communication between the classroom/school and home, as well as provides
valuable information to help track and respond to patterns in behaviors. The STEP PLAN ensures students have at least
two opportunities, STEP 1 & STEP 2 in each area of their school day, to
make changes in their choices of behavior before being referred to the office
for discipline. Maintaining an open line
of communication with parents is a keystone to the effectiveness of this system
and begins once the student reaches STEP 2.
At
times, when the behavior is a blatant action requiring direct administrative
attention such as fighting, theft, bullying, vulgarities, insubordination, vandalism,
etc., the student may be referred to the office immediately on what is called a
“Short Form”. The student may then, at
the administrator’s discretion, be placed on the appropriate STEP depending on
the facts of each individual case. For
example, at STEP 3, the administrator will contact the parent and, in most
cases, detention may be assigned.
However, as the STEPS increase to 4, 5 & 6 so will the severity of
administrative action. If a student
reaches STEP 6, which may lead to suspension, an Individual Behavior Plan will
be developed and implemented in hopes of curbing the misbehaviors.
If a
student is placed on the STEP PLAN and does not have another incident of
misbehavior that results in a referral to the office in a one month period,
then the student drops back one STEP. This will continue until, eventually, the
student can STEP off of the plan altogether via appropriate behavior.
The
following is an example of what may occur at each STEP:
STEP 1 – A
formal written warning between the teacher and student.
STEP 2 – A
formal written warning between the teacher and student with a parent
contact. At this STEP, the student may
be referred to the counselor depending on the circumstances and individual needs.
STEP 3 –
The student is referred to the office for administrative action and a parent
contact is made by phone or in writing.
STEP 3 usually involves, but is not limited to, a 1 day recess
detention.
STEP 4 –
Same as in STEP 3 with additional detention during recesses or after
school. The administrator makes a parent
contact by phone.
STEP 5 – A
parent contact is made and a conference is requested at that time. The student will serve both recess and after
school detention.
STEP 6 – A
parent contact is made, the student may be suspended from 1-3 days, and a
conference is scheduled with all of the stakeholders in the student’s school
day to develop an Individual Behavior Plan.
The student must conference with an administrator prior to returning to
class following their suspension.
*The STEP
Please
remind your student of the standards for behavior that you as parents expect of
them this school year. TWS appreciates
your support of the safe and inclusive school climate that is enjoyed by
students, staff, and parents.
Feel free
to contact Mrs. Watts at 854-6320 if you have questions or concerns.
ABSENCES, TARDIES,
Student
safety is a primary concern at Trail Wind Elementary. When it is necessary for a student to be
absent, please contact the Trail Wind Attendance Line/school office before
Procedures
for using Attendance Line
·
Dial
854-6320
·
At
the sound of the tone, please leave your message.
When students return to school
following an absence, they should bring a note from their parents giving a
specific reason (cold, flu, or etc.) for their absence. Please provide a written excuse each time your
child is absent or tardy. This note is to be given to the teacher who will
forward it to the school office. An illness for a period over three days of
time should be certified by a medical doctor. Please report communicable diseases to the
school nurse immediately.
The Boise
Independent School District Attendance Policy requires a minimum of 90% daily
attendance. The District calendar and state law require 180 days of school each
year. Thus, 18 absences would be the
maximum allowed under the 90% rule. As
part of this policy, you, or your child’s guardian and your child will be notified
when total absences reach 8, 12, and 16 days.
Excessive absences could result in a referral to
ARRIVING
AND DEPARTING
Please observe the following
guidelines and help your student(s) understand them.
Before School
For safety reasons, please
do not have students arrive on school grounds earlier than
Please drop off students at the
front of the building. The first bell

During School
Students
may use the hallways when they have a hall pass and are required to remain on school grounds during the day
unless they have permission from school personnel
to leave.
Lunch Time
Teachers
will take their classrooms to the lunchroom and stay with them until each student is through the lunch
line. Students going home for lunch
should bring a note each time or
parents can make advance arrangements with the school office.
After School
Students not riding busses home need to leave
the school grounds as soon as they are dismissed. Bicycle riders need to walk their bikes to
the street and then they may
ride. Students should never ride their
bikes onto or off the school grounds. Bus
students form lines in front of
the school according to the bus they ride.
If your student usually
walks home, or is a bus rider who is going to get off at a different stop or ride a different bus, they will need a
note from a parent or guardian for the school
office. Extra room is not always
available on busses and students may have to
ride their regular bus home. Bus drivers
will only allow students to board busses
in the school parking lot and get off at their regular stop except as noted above.
Leaving School During the Day
Photo ID is required to check out your student
Everyone must show photo ID – NO EXCEPTIONS
If you would like us to keep a copy of your ID on file, please bring
one in.
When leaving during the school day, a student
must be signed out in the office
by a parent or parent designee. To reduce
classroom disruptions and save parents time, someone will notify the student
after you have arrived. Please do
not ask to have the student waiting in the office or outside
of the building. Students with
written permission from parents may leave to go to their own home for lunch, although this is strongly discouraged due to
safety reasons. The student must have his/her teacher initial this note from
home. The student must check out at the office before leaving. Students
are not allowed to go to their friend's house for lunch at any time.
Dismissal
Please make after school
arrangements with your students before coming to

in an after school activity.
Bus Transportation
State
law provides bus transportation for students living 1.5 miles or more from school or who would otherwise have to cross
major intersections identified by Transportation. Bus applications must be completed for any
student eligible for busing. Information concerning bus routes is
available at the school office or by calling
the bus company, First Student, at 854-5230.
For the safety of all children,
good conduct is required for students riding school busses. Failure to comply
with bus safety guidelines will result in suspension of a student’s bus riding privilege.
The principal, after consultation with parents and the bus driver, will
decide when and for how long a
student’s bus privilege may be suspended.
BICYCLES, SKATEBOARDS, ROLLERBLADES,
HEELYS AND SCOOTERS
Students in
grades K-6 are allowed to ride bicycles, skateboards, scooters and use roller
blades or Heelys on their way to school.

handed out before, during, after school or at recess time. Please mail birthday
invitations or have your child deliver them from home.
BOOKS
Each student assumes responsibility for the care and safekeeping of all
books checked out to him or her. Fines will be assessed for damage or loss of
books.
CHANGE OF INFORMATION
This is extremely important. It's for the safety of your child/children. Please provide a written excuse each
time your child is absent or tardy. It is of the utmost importance that
any changes of address, telephone number, parents’ place of employment,
emergency number, doctor or sitter/daycare be reported to the school office
immediately. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated
CHECK OUT
You must
come to the office to check your child out during school hours. Teachers are unable to release a student from
their rooms without proper authorization.
Parents who want their child to come home for lunch must send a note or
make arrangements with the school office.
The office will call the child to the office. You must come into the
office to pick up your child. These same
rules apply to the lunchroom and the playground. If you are planning to take your child to an
appointment, please let the office know.
Do not assume a note sent with your child to the teacher will reach the
office. Please call the office directly
or have your child bring the note to the office and the office will notify the

Parent and Teacher Conferences/Pupil
Progress Report
The
are held in the fall after the end
of the first grading period in November.
Times are coordinated to allow
parents convenient times to attend all of their children’s conferences. The first report card is given
out during this conference. The second method
of reporting is a fairly traditional report card. Grades are given at the end
of the first
semester, the third quarter, and the second semester.
COUNSELORS
Counselors are a valuable resource for parents, teachers,
and children. The counselors have developed curriculum in daily living skills,
which are presented in units to all classes. Children learn such things as
problem solving, communication skills, and cooperation. Students may also see
the counselors in small groups or up to three times individually. Referrals can
be made by staff, parents, or students.
Parent education is offered to help families solve
adult/child relationship problems. At weekly meetings, parents learn a common
sense approach to parenting.
You may contact a counselor at the school office 854-6320.

DELIVERIES FOR STUDENTS
It is discouraged to send gifts, flowers, balloons and other presents
for students as it is a real distraction in classrooms. If a delivery is made,
it will be held in the office until after school. Thank you for your cooperation in this
matter.
DRESS CODE
Trail Wind students are expected to present a neat, clean
appearance and wear clothing that does not detract from the educational
process. Short shorts, halter-tops, half
shirts, spaghetti straps and shirts with questionable printing or pictures
(alcohol or tobacco advertisements) are not permissible. Hats are to be worn outside only. Shirts must be long enough to cover their
belly buttons and top of pants when child is standing. Flip Flops are discouraged as they can be a
safety hazard on the playground. The principal, in cooperation with teachers,
is responsible to decide whatever clothing is appropriate. If the clothing is in question, the parent
will be called and the situation resolved.
EMERGENCIES,
ACCIDENTS, ILLNESS & MEDICATION
Please help
us keep our record of your emergency phone numbers up to date. We must be able to notify you quickly if
necessary. The
deal with emergency situations
such as, fires, bomb threats, and earthquakes. An emergency evacuation plan is
also in place. It is in the school
office and has been reviewed with the staff.
If you would like to review this handbook, please contact the school
office. We will have fire drills monthly
and talk and practice with the children for other emergency situations. Student safety is of prime importance. Students
are supervised at all times. However,
accidents do happen. In case of an
accident, it is vital that we have a number where you or another responsible
adult can be reached. The school carries no insurance for
accidents. At the beginning of each
year accident insurance is offered through an insurance company. This optional policy is one that parents can
purchase to cover accidents that might happen at school.
If your child is ill, please keep her/him home and contact the school.
Your child is too ill to
come to school if there is:
1.
A fever greater than 99.4 degrees. Your child must be fever free for 24 hours
following his/her illness.
2.
Vomiting.
3.
Diarrhea.
4.
A significant body rash undiagnosed by a medical
doctor.
This will help prevent illness from spreading. Also,
if your child is too ill to be outside, please keep him or her at home. Children at school are expected to be able to
go outside (weather permitting)
MEDICATION
Whether it is antibiotics, cold medicine, Tylenol, or
medication to be taken daily, it must come in the original container or in a
prescription labeled bottle. Medication
in envelopes will not be accepted. You
must have a signed note with instructions on how you want the medication to be
given (i.e., time, amount, and frequency).
If the medication is to be taken for more than 2 weeks, an Authorization for Medication form must
be filled out. If you have any questions
about this policy, please contact the school nurses at 854-6320.
Parents
are to bring all medication to the nurse or secretary at the first of the
day. Students are not to transport
medication to school because of the safety concerns.
FIELD TRIPS
Students
are offered field trips to help highlight a particular topic or subject being
studied in class. They help round out a
child’s education experience. At the
beginning of the year a blanket field trip permission slip is sent home with
students for parents or guardians to sign.
This form covers field trips throughout the year. Teachers will inform parents or guardians of
the date, time, location, and any fees for each field trip. Please help by signing this slip and sending
it to your student’s teacher as quickly as possible.
Parents may be asked to chaperone or drive for a field
trip. This is an exciting day for your
child. Please make child care
arrangements for any siblings or other children when you drive or chaperone
field trips. In most cases, students are
transported by school busses paid for by the school district or PTO. Occasionally, parent drivers will be needed.
If you
are interested in driving, please be aware of the following requirements:
1.
Parent drivers must have a completed Boise School
District Background Check. These background checks take time, so if you plan on
volunteering regularly and in this capacity please check with your child’s
teacher on obtaining forms early in the school year.
2.
Each parent driver must be at least 21 years old or
have a valid driver’s license.
3.
Each driver must have a minimum of $300,000 liability
insurance per accident and $100,000 per individual.

Each parent driver must sign an insurance form (available
in the school office) once per year.
5.
Each student is required to wear a seat belt. No
child is to sit in the front seat.
FOOD SERVICE/LUNCH
At Trail Wind Elementary, meal services
begin on the first day of school. We are excited for your child to experience
the Healthful Choices food program. Students will make milk and entree
selections from 2-3 choices daily, and then select from the Self-Serve bar the
rest of their meal from an assortment of grains, fresh fruits and vegetables.
Each student will be issued a lunch card to use. The money students bring to
school for meals will go into their personal debit account in the Food Service

RESOURCE
MATERIALS SCREENING PROTOCOL
Purpose:
To help to ensure that non-district adopted resources handed out to
students for the purposes of enhancing the curriculum are dutifully and
sufficiently screened for suitable content and language.
Protocol:
The
following protocol is to be followed at all grade levels when screening
materials for direct student use that have not been adopted by the
Level 1:
Any internet based material will be initially run through the District’s
enhanced internet filter. All other
media will begin the screening protocol at Level 2.
Level 2:
The classroom teacher will thoroughly screen all media for
appropriateness by reading the full document or viewing/listening to the media
in its entirety.
Level 3:
Once the classroom teacher has completed Level 2, the considered
resource material will be presented to a Grade Level Screener for verification
of appropriateness if there is any question of suitability. The material will move to Level 4 if the
Grade Level Screener determines that there are lingering questions or concerns
that need to be addressed by Administration.
Level 4: Administration will screen the
considered resource material and make the final decision
SMALL CHILDREN
Parents are asked to leave their small children in the care
of others, outside of the school, when volunteering at Trail Wind.
TARDIES
Students
arriving late to school begin the day
with a distinct disadvantage. Often they miss special greetings, the days
outline and directions, review of previous assignments or the introduction of
the day’s first subject. Please make every effort to get your children to
school on time. Set a good example. It's the right thing to do.
Students
are tardy when they are not in their classroom when the bell rings at
Tardies are considered when
attendance awards are presented at the end of the school year. Every three tardies computes to one
day of absence. This 3 to 1 ratio only applies to the attendance awards and not
to the student's attendance record on the permanent file.
TELEPHONE CALLS
Children will not be permitted to
leave the classroom to answer the phone except in an emergency. Please leave
messages with the secretary, who will see that they are delivered to the
classroom teacher. Children will not be allowed to call home to ask permission
to stay for previously scheduled, after-school activities, or to go home with a
friend. Your child must assume responsibility for making these arrangements
with you before coming to school. . If parents or guardians need to
change those arrangements they will need to call the school prior to
TOYS, ELECTRONIC
DEVICES, CELL PHONES
All toys, balls, trinkets, radios, MP3 Players, Game Boys,
etc. are to be left at home. These items become distractions to the learning
process and the school is not responsible for these items that are lost,
broken, or stolen. These items may be confiscated by school
personnel. Although we discourage the
use of cell phones, they may be brought to school under the following
conditions: They must be turned off when
on school property. They cannot be used
during recess and/or on the playground.
Students are not allowed to take pictures of students and or school
personnel. The school is not
responsible if the cell phone is lost, broken or stolen.
TRUANCY
Any student
absent from school for any unexcused reason is considered truant.
Parents/guardians/guests are
welcome and encouraged to visit school. All
visitors are required to do
the following before proceeding to any destination on school property:
-
