USE OF SCHOOL PHONE MESSAGES. The elementary office telephone is for school business or emergency use only. Students cannot be called to the telephone during school hours. Messages called into the school can be given to students only if received no later than 2:00pm. In a true, rare emergency, we will do our very best to get information to students after this time. Teachers appreciate communication from home and messages for teachers may be left on voicemail or via email at any time. Teachers will respond to your communication within 24 hours at a time when it will not interrupt the educational process. If you require immediate response, please contact the main office by phone. Email is checked periodically, not constantly monitored.

Individual rights to style and taste in clothing are respected, but any clothing that may cause distractions or be disruptive to the educational process is not acceptable. Your student may be asked to change into school appropriate attire if available or you will be called to bring a change of clothing for your student. Clothing should meet the weather demands of the day. For your child's safety, wearing a coat or two sweatshirts is strongly encouraged when temperatures drop below 40 degrees, since children are expected to go outside for recess. Hats to protect against cold weather are encouraged. Tops showing bare midriffs, short shorts, short skirts, and clothes of a revealing nature are not considered appropriate wear at school. No spaghetti strap shirts allowed. Shorts and skirts must touch the fingertips when arms, hands and fingers are extended on student’s side. Any clothing that promotes drugs, alcohol or gang affiliation will not be acceptable. Acceptability is left to the discretion of office staff. Each year students lose many articles such as coats, sweaters and lunch boxes. Put your child’s first and last name on everything that comes to school. Tennis shoes also should be marked. If an item is labeled it will be returned to the student. Sack lunches should have the child’s first and last name along with the teacher’s name on it. The school office keeps a lost and found area and parents and students are welcome to check it for lost items. Weekly, items left will be given to Kalama Helping Hand. Kalama Elementary is not responsible for lost or stolen items. LABEL E...
