  1. Welcome to theSayrevilleMiddleSchool

  2. Your child is now aSayreville Middle School student. Things to know…

  3. Arrival/ Buses • Students need to know their bus #. • Check the district website (www.sayrevillek12.net) for times and stops. • Follow traffic patterns for AM drop-off. (7:45-8:10). • Parents picking up their children in the afternoon (PM pick-up) - Form two lanes around the island. • Homeroom begins at 8:15. Please be on time. • Students are only permitted to ride on their designated bus.

  4. Absent • Parents need to call the call out line at 732-525-5290 for absences. You will also receive a call from Instant Messenger/Oncourse • If your son/ daughter will be out for more than 3 days, please call the guidance department to request missed assignments. Guidance Extension: 7060 • An absentee note is required when students return to school. • If your child has a chronic illness, you may want to let your child’s teachers know and certainly the school nurse.

  5. A Note from the Nurses! • Very important - Sixth grade families must submit documentation of the TDAP and Meningococcal vaccines to the nurses prior to the start of the school year • All medications must be brought in by a parent with doctor’s orders. No medication, even over the counter medication can be carried by a child. We must have a doctor’s  order for any medication and the parent must supply all medication. • All medications must be in original container – labeled with child’s name and dose and time of administration from pharmacy – Doctor’s order and stamp • If your child is running a temperature and/or vomiting they need to be home at least 24 hours fever free with no medication. • Parents notes are only accepted for a one day gym note. More than one day requires a doctors order. • All doctor’s notes should be brought to the nurse.

  7. ATTENDANCE • Attendance Contract – Hopefully this will help us deter poor attendance habits from forming. • History – we worked to correct problems in the HS. Many of the attendance problems stem from bad habits formed in the elementary and middle school years. (This has caused HS students to lose credits for classes/entire schedule) • Possible retention with more than 20 absences. • Continued lates will cause Administrative detentions and family involvement.

We are concerned that this may lead to problems in the classes that are missed. Student’s grades tend to drop due to the loss of class time and in many cases students become frustrated. We would like all of our students to be successful academically, therefore we are asking for your help in getting your child to school on time. If there are any medical or family issues that are preventing your child from getting to school on time, please call me so that we may discuss this matter. We are trying to change behaviors that are unproductive; therefore if your child is late from this point on he/she will receive administrative detention for each occurrence. Please sign this contract and send it back to the Middle School Office with your child.Parent Signature _____________________________ Date __________Child Signature _____________________________ Date __________Thank you,Gregg JegouVice Principal732-525-5292cc – Guidance -__ CST - __
