Newsletter August-September 2013
INDIANA AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT
EAST PIKE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
August
Mr. Donald Springer, Principal

PRINCIPAL NOTES…
It is hard to believe that I am working on the
August Newsletter already. It surprises me just
how fast time goes by. This summer we hired Jen
Moore as our new speech and language teacher at
East Pike. She has been in several days this
summer and is very excited to become a part of the
East Pike family as well.
Many of you know that we received a grant to
implement a Pre-K program. We have been very
busy interviewing, planning and ordering the
necessary supplies to make sure this program is a
huge success. I am excited to announce that
Denise Dragich will be the teacher in this program
at East Pike. Denise is a former principal and first
and second grade teacher at Horace Mann. We are
lucky to have her on board and part of the family.
Please make sure to say thank you to Joe, John,
Tony, and George when you see them. I also
wanted to reach out to Don Verheyen who painted
this summer. Three rooms received new carpeting
and a fresh paint of coat as well. It has been
challenging for them to get everything clean and
shiny with the summer programs in the building but
it will be ready for sure.
Please enjoy the remaining days of summer
vacation. We are all working very hard to put the
final touches on East Pike before the 2013 – 2014
school year takes off. Sherry is scheduled to
officially begin working in a few days, even though
she has been in and out throughout the summer to
make sure that I have stayed on track.
I am certain that with your support, dedication, and
communication, this school year will be a huge
success.

SUPERINTENDENT NOTES…
School Day: The dismissal time for elementary school
students will be extended 15 minutes to 3:45 p.m. The
time will be used to increase instruction math and
language arts. This change is necessary due to an
extension of the high school day to ten periods. A ten
period day at the high school will help the school district
meet financial challenges and maintain programs. The
later high school dismissal time impacts the elementary
schedule because of the time needed to complete
secondary bus runs and return for elementary dismissal.
The middle school and high school dismissal will be
2:40 p.m.
Security: Physical and procedural changes to improve
school security will be evident. Physical changes vary by
school and include main entrances, exterior and interior
doors, communication systems and video surveillance.
Procedural changes will be in place at all schools and
include locked doors after school and no admittance
during the school day unless arranged in advance. No
one should arrive at a school unannounced and expect to
be allowed in. The inconvenience caused by these
changes will increase the safety of students and staff.
Dale R. Kirsch
Superintendent
SCHOOL YEAR 2013-2014…
The first day of the 2013-14 school year is Tuesday,
August 27th. If you know families whose children will
be new students at East Pike, please encourage them to
enroll their children as soon as possible. Enrollment
packets can be picked up at the school between 7:30 AM
and 3:00 PM Monday through Thursday.
THE EAST PIKE OFFICE…
The School Office is closed at 4:00 PM
daily. Should you have a bus issue or
need to contact someone about the arrival
time of your child after this time please
contact Krise Bus Service, Inc.
at 724-349-394.
IASD WEBSITE…
Keep up with school district news and events on our
website at www.iasd.cc
IT’S THE SAME SITE ONLY A
DIFFERENT LOOK…
Next time you log onto the District site, check out
the East Pike page! We will be using this as a way
to quickly get announcements out to our families.
There is also a calendar page so that we may
provide up-to-date events and programs.
A REMINDER TO PARENTS…
Car Kid requests will be taken to the office only
until 2:15 each day. Parents who have submitted
a note or contacted the school prior to 2:15 will be
using the circle area for pick up this year. You will
drive around the loop and remain in your car to wait
for your child. A staff member will have a clipboard
with the car kids listed on it. They will have the
children on the sidewalk and make a one on one
connection and then walk the child to your car. It is
important that you do not block the bus lane when
attempting to pull into the loop. Several staff
members will be in the circle area to help make this
process smooth and safe.
Parents who do not contact the school prior to 2:15
and want to take their child(ren) home, will have to
park in the parking lot and then walk to the
sidewalk by the entrance doors. You will need to
sign your child out with one of the school staff
members and then wait until your child’s bus
number has been called.
Remember, dismissal is at 3:45 PM.
HAS YOUR ADDRESS, E-Mail, OR
PHONE NUMBER CHANGED?…
Please keep the school informed if there are any
changes in your address, e-mail, or telephone
number. It is most important that we be able to
get in touch with you in case of illness or injury with
your child(ren).
ATTENTION PARENTS…if you
are planning on picking your child up
before the 3:45 dismissal time you will
need to provide a note to your child’s
teacher and the office.
PLEASE BE AWARE…
It is important for your child to attend school on a daily
basis. Please review these arrival and dismissal times
and what it may mean for your child in these events.
 Starting time 9:05 AM
 Dismissal 3:45 PM
 Arrival between 9:05 AM and 10:40 AM = Tardy
 Arrival between 10:40 AM and 12:30 PM = ½ day
absent.
 Arrival after 12:30 PM = Full day absent
 Departure between 11:30 AM and 1:00 PM And
NOT returning to school = ½ day absent.
Students are not to arrive at school before 8:40 AM. We
cannot guarantee supervision for students who arrive
early.
Scheduled early dismissals are at 12:00 PM.
SCHOOL PROCEDURES…
We cannot express enough the importance of the
significant changes in place to improve school security in
2013-2014. These include locked doors at all schools
immediately after the school day ends and no admittance
to our buildings during the school day unless arranged in
advance.
If your child forgets something at school: please remind
them the classrooms will be locked at 4:00 PM. The
custodians cannot open them after that time. The
building will be opened for scheduled activities, but not
the classrooms or the office.
Student Release from School: The Indiana Area
School Board has adopted policies on the release of a
student during school hours. We cannot release a
student to any adult other than that student’s parent or
guardian. The parent/guardian must come into the
school office and “sign out” the student.
If a
parent/guardian does grant approval for the student to
be released to an adult not identified as parent/guardian,
a written request is required. Identification may be
required from any adult who comes in to take the student
off school grounds. The school reserves the right not to
release a student to anyone other than the custodial
parents if we have received a legal document
determining custody.
Please remember that all students must be signed in/out
in the office. A parent/guardian should not proceed to a
classroom – the student will be summoned to the office
upon the arrival of the parent/guardian. If the student
returns to school following his/her appointment, the
parent/guardian must also sign the student “in” at the
office.
It is important that the school office is made aware
of any changes in custody or living arrangements.
Custody information must be kept current. If your
child may only be released to a certain person or
persons, it is critical that school personnel be
informed and that we have a copy of the most
recent official custody order on file.
This
information is needed for our professional use only
and will be treated confidentially. We would be
happy to discuss any questions or concerns that you
may have.
ATTENDANCE GUIDELINES…
Please call the school office (724-463-8567) by 9:30
AM if your child is absent from school. Unless we
have had contact with the parent/guardian of an
absent student, a phone call will be placed to the
home of each absent student.
When a child is absent a written excuse from the
parent/guardian is required when the student
returns to school. The excuse is required within 3
school days following the student’s return. If the
reason for the absence is not valid, or the excuse is
not submitted within the 3 day limit, the absence
will be recorded as unexcused. Excused absences
from school are for reasons of illness, recovery from
an accident, required court attendance, or death in
the family. Requests for approval for educational
trips must be made to the principal in writing and in
advance.
FREE & REDUCED LUNCH
APPLICATIONS…
MY CHILD’S APPLICATION WAS APPROVED LAST
YEAR. DO I NEED TO FILL OUT ANOTHER
ONE? Yes. Your child’s application is only good for that
school year and for the first 30 operating days of this
school year. You must send in a new application
by October 8, 2013 unless the school told you that your
child has been directly certified for free meals for the new
school year. If a new application is NOT filed by
this date, the responsibility is yours for any
charges incurred before a new application is
approved.

SCHOOL PICTURES…
“BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT”…
This evening is designed for parents. We will
provide an overview of your child’s school program
in the classroom. We hope that you will mark your
calendar and plan to attend.
September 18th (Wednesday) – 6:30 PM – for
Grades 1-5
Time will not be provided this evening for
individual conferences. If you would want an
individual conference, time can be scheduled at a
mutually convenient time.
A brief membership meeting of the PTA will
follow meetings in the classrooms.
East Pike School is scheduled for Monday, September
9th. All students will have their picture taken on this
scheduled day. The pictures are guaranteed, and you
will receive a refund or a retake if you are not satisfied.
Pre-pay envelopes will be sent home with your child the
first week of school. Students’ pictures will be taken
even if you do not wish to purchase a package, so that
every child will appear on their class composite photo.
If a student is absent on this date,
there will be a picture make-up
day, which will be determined by
Lifetouch Picture Company. You
will be notified of this date. If you
would have any concerns or
questions with your pictures
please contact: Lifetouch at 1866-955-8342 or mylifetouch.com.
BUS ASSIGNMENTS…
These will be mailed home. Please DO NOT change
buses unless it is urgent. If you must request a
change, notify Mr. Springer in writing at least one
day in advance. If a child is to travel to another
home after school, we will need a note from the
parents
of
both
children to assure the
safety of your child. Be
sure your child rides the
bus the first day so
that any problems can
be
identified
and
corrected as soon as
possible.
SCHOOL BUSES…
Students should be at the
assigned bus stop
about 5-10 minutes early in case the schedule
fluctuates. If your child misses the bus, it
becomes your responsibility to see that he or
she gets to school. We encourage all students to
ride the bus each day so that they do not arrive at
school too early or late. Please remind your child
about bus safety and bus behavior, as we will do at
school. Inappropriate behavior can result in
suspension of bus privileges. Should your child
be suspended from the bus, it again becomes your
responsibility to see that the child gets to school.
Please remember that a video camera has been
installed on each bus as an aid to monitor behavior.
CELL PHONE POLICY. . .
On the first day of school, you will receive the IASD
Attendance, Behavioral Guidelines and Discipline
Policy Handbook. It is important that you read this
with your child and understand attendance and
discipline policies. Please pay special attention to
the cell phone policy.
Cell phones must be turned off and
remain in students’ backpacks.
The last page of the booklet is to be
signed by the parent and student
and returned to school. Please
contact Mr. Springer with any
questions.
VIDEOTAPES AND PHOTOGRAPHS…
During the school year we videotape and photograph
many school activities, such as concerts and plays. In
addition, student teachers are often required to videotape
themselves teaching a lesson.
If you have any objection to your child being
photographed or videotaped, please write a letter
to Mr. Springer as soon as possible.
Be sure to include your child’s name.
SCHOOL DELAYS OR CANCELLATIONS…In bad weather, or for
any emergency when school may be closed, delayed, or
dismissed early, announcements will be made on the radio and
TV. Radio stations announcing this information are: WCCS (1160
AM) and WDAD (1450AM). TV stations are: WTAE (Channel 4)
and WPXI (Channel 11). If you are connected to the Internet, go
to www.iu28.org/ and click on “Schoolcast” for the latest
information on school closings and delays.
PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE SCHOOL. We must keep our phone
lines open for emergency communications.
Be sure to have a back up plan with your children in case of an
unscheduled early dismissal. Arrangements should be made
ahead of time for emergency childcare if needed.
DELAY TO CANCELLATION…Sometimes school is cancelled after
a delay has been called. Continue to listen to your radio/TV for
updates.
2-HOUR DELAYS…Children who ride buses should report to their
bus stop 2 hours later than normal. All children should report to
school by 11:05 AM. Breakfast will not be served on days with a
delay. Dismissal will be at 3:45 PM, as usual.
EARLY DISMISSALS…It is important that parents establish a plan
for their children in the event of an unscheduled early dismissal.
Your children should know what they are to do if school is
dismissed early. It is impossible for us to alert everyone by phone
when this happens.
With the new auto-dialer system we can now notify parents of an
early dismissal. The system will continue to call until it reaches a
person. It will not leave a message. PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE
SCHOOL. We must keep our phone lines open for emergency
communications.
PARTY INVITATIONS…
Party invitations may ONLY be distributed at school if
every member of the child’s class is invited, (or all the
boys in the class for a boy’s party or all the girls in the
class for a girl’s party). Children’s feelings are easily hurt
when they are not included for these events, so we
respectfully ask that parents mail invitations when fewer
students are involved. Thank you for your cooperation.
EMERGENCY CARDS…
New Emergency Care cards will be sent home with
your child. Please review the information for each
child. Please sign, date, and return them to school
by the end of the first week of school. One card
will be for the nurse’s office, and the other card will
be for the school office. Be sure to contact the
school office if there would be an address or
telephone change during the school year. Also, if
you would want to change or add the name of the
person for us to contact in case of an emergency,
please call the office at your earliest convenience.
NURSE’S CORNER:
SOME HELPFUL TIPS TO START OFF THE
YEAR!
Encourage your child to get enough sleep.
At least 10 hours of sleep each night is a good rule
of thumb – more sleep is even better if possible.
Start the day off with a nutritious breakfast.
Remember breakfast is available here at school as
well.
Provide a nutritious lunch for your child. If
your child buys lunch, review the menu together
and discuss making wise, healthy selections.
Encourage your child to drink water
throughout the day to help avoid dehydration,
irritated throat, and coughs.
Help to keep your child’s stress level down
through good communication and consistently
reviewing your family’s schedule.
Remember to encourage your child to
exercise regularly for better heath.
Tennis shoes are the appropriate footwear
for physical education. Please encourage your child
to wear tennis shoes to gym class to avoid foot and
ankle injuries.
GOING GREEN…
East Pike Is GREEN!

We are participating in
the following programs:
Benches for the Garden
Special and considerable thanks to Dan Cunkelman
for preparing and building benches for this outdoor
classroom space.
Garden Group Weekly Outdoor Garden
Preparations
We will continue the Tuesday morning outdoor garden work sessions from 10-11:30 am in the outdoor
gardens. Every week through the year we will meet
in the garden to continue to care for the gardens.
Everyone is welcome to come lend a hand. Just
bring your shovel, garden gloves, water, sunscreen,
trowel, sense of humor and willingness to dig in!
If you care about outdoor education, we need your
help! Please consider joining us to help keep this
space open.
Weekly Indoor Garden Care
Through the year the Garden & Pond Committee
members check on the plants in the indoor garden.
Please sign-up to work one or two times per month.
Our garden committee members: Felecia Gillham,
Kristen Kane, Michelle Brocious, and Kristen Sutfin
have provided the great care that you
see each day in the garden.
See you in the Garden!
