Each time your child misses school for any reason (sick, vacation, others) the Lafayette School District loses $44 per day in revenues from the state. Attendance in school is best for your child’s education. If your child is ill, keep him/her home until well enough to return to school. If you must take your child on a trip for 5 days or more, ask your school to provide him with an Independent Study packet (please give the school at least 2 weeks’ notice for an Independent Study request) to help him keep up with his studies while gone. Doing so is a WIN-WIN scenario. Your child keeps pace with his classes and is considered PRESENT on those days (NOT ABSENT) for State funding purposes. However, for absences less than five days or absences greater than 5 days without a completed Independent Study, your child misses invaluable instruction time and the state withholds funding from the District at $44/day. The District strongly recommends that trips and vacations be scheduled during non-school days.
This is BEST, firstly, for your children, our students and secondly, for the District especially amidst persistent State funding cuts.

There has been some issue’s with students riding the school bus with One Trip Passes ($3.00 orange passes). This is a liability for Lamorinda Bus, for First Student and for the schools and districts. EACH BUSS PASS IS SUPPOSED TO BE FILLED OUT, SIGNED AND DATED BY A PARENT. THIS RULE IS WRITTEN ON THE BACK SIDE OF EACH BUS PASS. DRIVERS HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED NOT TO TRANSPORT STUDENTS WITH BLANK BUS PASSES. If you wish your child to purchase a same day bus pass please send a note with your child to the office giving your permission for them to do so along with the following information, date, name, address, grade, emergency phone#, bus stop, school and route and parent signature. If you have any questions, please contact Lamorinda Bus @ 299-3216.

If your child has any medication in the school office from last year, please stop by the office and pick it up. If your child needs to take medication during the school day, new forms need to be filled out and kept on file in the office.

I have two names to share with you today. You probably will not recognize these names, but you may recognize the faces that they belong to. I’m sure you probably did not know these names. In fact, I did not… and I had to ask Vice Principal Toni McShane to help enlighten me, but I would wager that you value and you count on what these two folks do.
Along with our rotating Stanley faculty, these two people work for us every day. In fact, they actually place their bodies in harm’s way to protect our kids every day. I have watched our kids walk past these people and not say a word to them… every day.
We all drive past them. Some of us wave. Some of us don’t. Some of us just take it for granted that our kids will get to school safely no matter how many hundreds of cars are zooming past, trying to get to work or other destinations. Stanley has 1,100 students. Each and every one of them gets to school safely every single day with cars speeding past as fast as they think they can.
We are lucky. We live in a place that values education. We live in a place that values each and every student. I would like it if we also lived in a place that valued ALL the people who helped make this happen.
Thank you, William Patrick and Raya Nurgalinova for being our crossing guards. Thank you for donning those lovely yellow parkas on rainy days and keeping our kids safe. Thank you for doing it every single day, rain or shine.
We are all grateful to you.
Cheers! Becky Kenney PTA President, 2011-2012
P.S. Buy your tickets for our Stanley CommUNITY social! It is going to be a blast, and I look forward to hoofing it up with you on the dance floor!
