Thank you for sticking with me for our review of the parent handbook. I'm sorry I'm late getting online this week. Please read the section of the handbook concerning injury at school.
We want to let you know that if your child sustains any kind of head injury at school, we will call you to come and look at the injury. We want you to decide whether or not your child should see a doctor when they have hit their head.
We also want to let you know that we have to notify TDFPS if your child must see a doctor due to being injured at school. If your child has to see a doctor, please make sure that you get a TDFPS form from their teacher or from the office. There is a section for the doctor to fill out and it is much easier to have it filled out while you are there!
The fire department visited AMA last week to conduct our annual fire inspection. We passed with flying colors! We do practice fire and tornado drills regularly, so please do not be concerned if your child says that we had a "fire" at school.
In the event that we experience severe weather this winter, please watch the news or listen to the radio. If the Amarillo Public School system is closed, we will be closed. We hope that you will be able to stay home with your children if the roads are dangerous, but as long as AISD is in session, we will be open.
Regarding attendance, please have your child at school before 8:30 each morning. Our school day starts at 8:30 and children who arrive later than that struggle to catch up each day. Children who arrive a few minutes early have a chance to get a drink of water and visit with their friends before school starts. Please keep in mind how you feel when you have a few minutes to "breathe" before work as opposed to getting there and having to jump right in.
