Disaster Preparedness Information
Dear Parents:
Washington Union School District is continuing to monitor and expand its Disaster Preparedness Plan.
Student emergency bags are an element of that plan. Each year we collect supplies and information
which will enable our schools to be more prepared to care for our students in the event of an
emergency.
Please complete the Disaster Preparedness Information on the bottom of the Emergency Information
Form. This is special release information to be filled out for your child. This information will be used
only in the event of a major earthquake or other disaster; it does not replace the additional “Emergency
Information” which is used when your child is sick or injured. In the event of a disaster, the staffs of the
three schools in the Washington Union School District will release your child only to those individuals
whose names are listed in the “Disaster Preparedness Information” section. Please consider carefully,
local individuals to whom you wish to entrust your child, as well as each individual’s ability to reach the
school in the case of damage to roads and/or power lines. Please consult with these individuals/families
prior to listing their names on your child’s form. It is important that no one individual/family be
responsible for more children than would be appropriate in an emergency situation.
Remember that under no circumstance will your child be released to any individual who is not
named in the “Disaster Preparedness Information” section of the Emergency Information form.
A comprehensive Disaster Preparedness Plan must consider our student’s safety, food, water, medical
needs and sanitation. Obtaining and storing food that will be familiar and appealing to the children, that
has a long shelf life and requires no preparation is a difficult task. In an attempt to design a plan that
will create the most normal and familiar environment for our students, we are asking parents to provide
an emergency “food bag” for each child enrolled. This bag should contain foods that your child will
enjoy from the attached list. Your child’s bag will be stored in his/her classroom until the end of the
school year, at which time it will be returned to you for your own use.
Please select your child’s “meal” from the following list and place the items in a zip-lock bag labeled
with his/her full name, grade and teacher. Place the label facing out. Please include in the bag any
medications your child would require in a 24 hour period and an extra pair of glasses (if you have them)
if your child cannot see without his/her glasses. A comforting note written by you for your child would be
a helpful addition.
For your convenience, you may order your child’s Emergency Food Bag from Parents’ Club. The
enclosed form which is included in this packet needs to be completed by Friday, August 29th. A basic
emergency “food bag” will be delivered directly to your child’s classroom. If your child attends “Time for
Me”, an additional emergency “food bag” will also be required. Please note that only the basic items will
be provided in the purchased emergency bags. Once school begins, please give your child’s teacher
any medications or eye glasses (if needed) and a comforting note from you to your child, if you desire.
If your child has any special dietary needs, you may want to provide your own emergency “food bag” as
recommended below.
F:\dpalmer\Backup 012512\Back To School 2013 14\Disaster Preparedness Letter 2013 14.doc
ALL FOOD ITEMS SHOULD HAVE PULL-TOP LIDS AND BE EASY TO OPEN; NO FOODS
SHOULD REQUIRE A CAN OPENER.
The following is a list of recommended items to include in the emergency “food bag”:
1.
One or two of the following:
Pull-top can (3-4 oz.) of tuna or chicken (packed in water)
Small package of processed cheese (non-refrigerated type)
Small package of unsalted nuts or trail mix
2.
Pull-top can of fruit or pudding
Small package of dried fruit or fruit roll
3.
Granola bar (without chocolate coating)
Small package crackers (unsalted or low salt)
4.
16 oz. water bottle
4.
A spoon
5.
Medications/eye glasses (if needed)
6.
A comforting note from you to your child
7.
Name label facing out (child’s name, grade and teacher)
PLEASE INCLUDE ONLY NON-PERISHABLE FOODS IN YOUR CHILD’S EMERGENCY
“FOOD BAG”. AVOID SALTY FOOD, FOODS THAT REQUIRE ADDING WATER, FOODS
THAT REQUIRE HEATING, FOODS THAT HAVE BEEN REFRIGERATED OR FROZEN, AND
ESPECIALLY ANY FOODS THAT YOUR CHILD WILL NOT EAT!
PLEASE RETURN YOUR CHILD’S EMERGENCY “FOOD BAG” TO HIS/HER TEACHER NO
LATER THAN FRIDAY, AUGUST 29th. If you choose to order from Parents’ Club, your
bag will be delivered directly to your child’s classroom.
Thank you for your help and support. Please be assured that the safety of your child is our
greatest concern and that we will do whatever is necessary and possible to ensure his/her
safety in the event of an earthquake or other major disaster occurring during school hours.
Our district’s Disaster Preparedness Plan is updated annually and we coordinate with the
County and State Offices of Emergency Services to conduct drills on a regular basis.
If you are ordering your emergency “food bag” from Parents’ Club please fill in the information
below:
Should you have any questions, please contact your school principal.
Sincerely,
Dee Baker
Superintendent
A Parents’ Club Service
Classroom Emergency Bags
In the event of an earthquake or other unforeseen emergency where your child
must remain on the school site for an extended time, the state requires that every
school have an emergency plan in place. Part of this plan includes having nonperishable food and water for each child. Parents’ Club provides emergency
bags for you to purchase for the 2014-2015 school year. Please see letter from
Dee Baker, Superintendent for more information.
Emergency Bags are $10.00 each
Please fill out a separate form for each child
Please fill out the form below and return this page to any of the schools with a

Washington Union Educational Foundation
Created to support and enhance the educational programs of the
Washington Union School District.
President
Why do we need an Educational Foundation?
Vice-President
Our school district receives most of its funding from the State of California. Significantly
reduced state funding has impacted our district by cutting into our already limited
classroom budget. Many of the programs that enhance the educational programs in our
district are made possible by WUEF donations. Your donations are even more critical in
these lean budget years.

Just $185 per student
Debra Josue

Lisa Milburn
The cost to provide art and music each year is approximately $185 per student, or $15.42
per month. $15.42 per month for a year of art and music? Think about how much you
spend each month on gym memberships, gymnastics, karate, or Starbucks. Our online
option allows you to pay using a credit card through our secure website and you can even
spread your payments out over the school year!

We want everyone to participate
Allie Szaszy

WUEF provides almost $200,000 per year in grants to the district that allow funding for:
 Our award winning Art Docent program in full
 Vocal music teachers at every grade level in full
 Our award winning Instrumental Music program in the upper grades in full
 New document scanners, printers, digital cameras, and other technology needs
for the classroom
 New computers for the computer labs on each campus
Our goal is to have 100% of the families in our district participate in the Fall Campaign
because 100% of the students in our district benefit from funds raised by WUEF. If you
cannot donate $185 per child, please donate what you are able to give. No amount is
too small! All donations are tax deductible to the extent allowable by law.

School Routines and Procedures
Student Arrival and Departure
Students should not arrive at school before 8:00 am No supervision is provided until that time.
Parents picking up children should do so within 10 minutes of the 2:20 pm dismissal time.
Student Drop Off and Pick Up
MORNING DROP OFF: Please enter on the northeast side of the school and pull up to the
unloading zone in front of the kindergarten building. This area is a loading and unloading area
for cars only. If you wish to walk your child to class or need to park for some other reason, then
please go into the parking lots in front of or alongside the kindergarten building. Please do not
park in the loading and unloading area. After the last school bus has arrived in the morning,
the car unloading zone can be extended to include the curb area in front of the office
building. (This area is the designated bus loading and unloading area.) Please do not form a
double line when unloading students and always try to have your passengers ready to get out of
the car quickly. Please move up as far as possible along the curb area. The line moves along
efficiently when everyone cooperates. When exiting the drop off area, cars to the left pull
through and exit onto Portola, cars to the right turn right and drive past the busses to the exit
only driveway and exit onto Portola.
AFTERNOON PICK–UP: Kindergarteners exit through the kindergarten building. All the 1st-3rd
classes pass through the lunch patio when dismissing from school. Therefore, the best place to
meet your child is at the lunch patio (not by the classrooms). Students leave their rooms at the
2:20 bell, so if you wait in the patio your child will be coming along with their class. For safety
reasons, all students who are “walkers” or those who ride bicycles are asked to wait in the patio
area until all the buses have left the area. If you plan to pick up your child but are delayed, s/he
will be supervised in the patio area until the buses leave, and then taken to the office to wait for
you. If it is difficult for you to leave your car and meet your child by the gate, because you have
small children with you, have your student wait with the “walkers” in the patio area. You can wait
in your car, with your younger children, until the busses leave and then drive up to the curb area
in front of the kindergarten. Your student will be dismissed from the patio area and can walk to
your car at the curb area. Walkers are walked to the two corners nearest the school (Davenrich
and Torero) and supervised as they cross the street.
PARKING: The front parking lot is designated for Toro Park School parents, visitors and anyone
who needs handicapped parking. The parking places on the northeast side of the school
(alongside of the kindergarten building) are for employees, volunteers and visitors. Most of the
parking spaces on the southwest side are used by the parents and employees of the Toro Park
Deaf and Hard of Hearing School. The drive on that side of the school is for EXITING ONLY.
Transportation
Many students ride the bus to and from school. There is bus fee for each student. Applications
are available for fee assistance for those who meet the criteria. Applications must be filed each
year. Students who have paid the bus fee are authorized to ride a specific bus and be dropped
off at a specific bus stop. If you would like your child to ride another bus to visit a friend or attend
a club meeting, you must send a note to the teacher on the day of the change. (If it is a regularly
scheduled event, such as a Girl Scout meeting every Wednesday, one note for the whole school
year will be sufficient). You must also send a note if your child usually rides a bus and you or
someone else will be picking him/her up at the regular dismissal time. If we do not receive a
note, your child will be required to board his/her regular bus. If a bus/van is filled to capacity
guest riders will not be allowed to ride, and parents will be called to pick up their student.

Bus Behavior
All students who ride the bus to and from school or for any school activity are expected to
behave according to the established bus behavior rules.
1. Be on time at the bus stop
2. Form a line at lease 6 feet from where the bus will come to a complete stop.
3. Board and ride the bus quietly and politely.
4. Take a seat as directed by the driver: follow directions the first time they are given.
5. Always face forward in the seat; keep your feet under the seat.
6. Remain seated in the same seat for the entire trip.
7. Keep your hands, arms, legs and objects to yourself.
8. Remain seated until the bus comes to a compete stop and the door has been opened.
9. Remember to pick up your materials before you leave the bus.
10. Get off only at your designated stop unless you have a note.
11. Extra belongings should remain at home (unless child has permission to bring to school)
12. Help take good care of the bus; pick up litter and refrain from writing on or damaging the
bus.
13. Go directly home after getting off the bus.
14. Kindergarten students must be met at the bus in order to be dropped off.
While riding the school bus, students are expected to follow the directions of the driver. The
driver has the responsibility to transport students to and from school and on study trips safely.
This is a huge responsibility, and students need to cooperate with the driver in order to
accomplish this task. The bus driver has the authority to assign seats to students when
necessary. He or she also has the authority to stop the bus if a student or students are behaving
in a manner that restricts his or her ability to transport students safely.
When a driver feels that a student is behaving in a manner that could lead to an unsafe
condition, he or she may issue a bus citation. In most cases a bus citation is a formal warning
that bus behavior is unacceptable. A second (2nd) citation may result in suspension of bus
riding privileges for up to 5 school days. Additional suspensions may lead to suspension of bus
privileges for the remainder of the school year. Such a suspension is an extreme measure, but
when it comes to student safety, extreme measures are merited.
Closed Campus
Toro Park School follows a closed campus policy. Students must stay on the school grounds
from the time they arrive, until dismissal or until they are picked up by a parent/guardian or by
the school bus. To ensure the safety of our students, the gates to the school are locked at 8:10
am. The patio gates are open from 2:15 pm until 2:30 pm for dismissal. Due to safety and
staffing concerns, we are not able to open the side gates on Davenrich or Torero before or after
school.
Parents, volunteers and visitors are required to sign in and out in the school office during school
hours. Guests to the campus will be given a visitor’s sticker to identify that they have checked in
with the office.
Emergency Cards
Please call the school anytime there is a change of home phone number, employment,
babysitter, or emergency numbers. In an emergency situation it is extremely important that this
information is current.
8
Bicycles
Students are permitted to ride bicycles to and from school. Students must wear protective
helmets and are expected to lock their bike to the racks located on each side of the school
campus. The school and the district assume no responsibility for damage or theft of bicycles
ridden to school.
Classroom Rules
Each teacher has a set of classroom rules and a classroom discipline plan. Although classroom
rules may vary from teacher to teacher, they are similar and consistent with the school’s
Behavioral Expectations. Each teacher will review his/her classroom rules and classroom
discipline policy during Back to School Night and parents should review these rules and keep a
copy of them on hand as a reference if needed.
Classroom Communication
Each teacher maintains a website, has email access and voicemail. Each teacher has their own
style and preference of being contacted and will share that with you at Back to School Night. All
written communication is best sent to school in your child’s folder. If you need to contact the
teacher during the school day, the office will direct your call to the teacher’s voicemail or take a
message.
If a question or concern is to arise, please contact the teacher directly to resolve the issue. If
you are not comfortable speaking with the teacher or you are unable to resolve the issue,
please contact the school principal for assistance.
Homework
Homework is a regular part of the Toro Park School academic program. Homework comes in a
variety of forms, including practicing skills and concepts presented in class, reading,
researching, studying for tests, and preparing for class demonstrations or presentations. Most
homework assignments are short-term: given one day, and expected to be returned the next.
Some teachers may also give long-term assignments such as book reports or projects.
Teachers will review their homework policy with you at Back to School Night. Students are given
a homework folder at the beginning of the year. Replacement folders cost $1.50 in the office.
More information about the school’s homework policy can be found on page 27 and on the
website.
Assemblies:
Assemblies are held either in the Multipurpose Room or outside in the Amphitheater area
behind the MPR.
Before Assembly:
• Teachers escort their students to the assembly in a quiet, orderly manner.
• Teachers will direct students to their seating area. All students sit either on the floor or
grass in “criss-cross” style with their hands in their lap, or on their chairs with their feet
on the floor/ground and their hands in their lap.
During Assembly:
• Give the performers the courtesy of proper attention.
• Clap at the appropriate time.
• Whistling and yelling is not permitted.
After Assembly:
• Under the direction of their teacher, students leave in a orderly manner.
9
Minimum Days
Certain days have been set aside during the school year for parent conferences and meetings.
Please check the Bell Schedule for Minimum Day schedules. On 11:45 Dismissal days, no
lunch is held. On 12:45 Dismissal days, students will need to bring a lunch. You will be notified
of any upcoming minimum days and they are also noted on the school calendar. All
kindergarten students attend Session A (8:10 to 11:30) on minimum days.
Cell Phones, Electronic Devices, Toys and Sports Equipment
Non-school items - such as toys, i-pods, cell phones, sports equipment and any other electronic
devices are not allowed at school without the permission of the teacher. Any unauthorized item
will be kept by the teacher until the end of the school day. A further incident may require parents
to retrieve items from the Principal. When students have permission to bring items from home,
the item should be clearly labeled with the student’s name. The school will assume no
responsibility for the loss of any personal item brought to school under any
circumstance.
Replicas of weapons, particularly guns, are treated with utmost seriousness. Toy guns can look
much like the real thing, and we will treat situations with replicas as if they were real to protect
the safety of students and staff. The Monterey County Sheriff’s Department may be involved in
such situations. Replicas of weapons will not be returned to students under any circumstances
Appropriate School Attire
Our dress code is designed to promote a safe learning environment for our students. Students
should dress in clothing that allows them to be comfortable and active. Dressing in layers is
encouraged as the mornings are cold and the afternoons are can be quite warm.
GUIDELINES
1. Skirts, dresses and shorts should be worn at an appropriate length. Please remember that
students are asked to sit criss-cross on the floor, and their clothing should not prohibit them from
sitting comfortably. Students can wear leggings or shorts under their shorts, skirts or dresses.
2. Shirts, blouses or dresses must have sleeves. Students may wear tank tops, however no
spaghetti strap, halter, or crop tops are allowed.
3. Children should wear clothes that are appropriate for school projects, activities and weather
conditions.

appropriately covered at all times.
5. Hats, shirts, or jackets with inappropriate pictures or words are not allowed at school.
6. Students are to wear shoes appropriate for P.E. No flip flops allowed. For safety reasons, all
shoes/sandals must have a back or heel strap.
If the need arises, parents may be contacted to bring a change of clothing for their student. In
some cases the situation may be handled at school by asking students to change into clothes
from the clothes closet. When a child needs a change of clothing, the school office does have a
collection of clothes available in selected sizes. If you feel more comfortable, you can pack a
change of clothing in a plastic bag with your child’s full name, date and teacher’s name. It will
be held in the office until needed.
Lost and Found
Please label all items of clothing, lunch boxes, etc. with your child’s first initial and last name.
Please check the lost and found on the lunch patio often as all unclaimed clothes will be
donated to a charitable organization in December and June.

Discipline Plan
PHILOSOPHY:
Toro Park School provides a climate that promotes a positive learning environment where
students academically, emotionally and socially thrive. Every student had the right to learn and
be safe from physical and emotional harm. Appropriate behavior is the responsibility of each
student. Students, parents and staff cooperate to help students meet that goal.
The goals of our discipline plan are to:
•
•
•
•
Develop the habits of good character representing the six pillars of Trustworthiness,
Respect, Responsibility, Caring, Fairness and Citizenship.
Provide and promote instructional time that is free from excessive interruption.
Ensure a learning environment that is safe, both physically and emotionally.
Encourage positive self-esteem that comes with good character.
STANDARDS OF GOOD CHARACTER:
We follow the Character Counts! Program that promotes the following six pillars of character:
Trustworthiness – being honest, telling the truth, keeping promises, and being loyal so people
can trust you. Trustworthy people don’t lie, cheat or steal. They also have the courage to stand
up for what is right.
Respect – treating others the way you want to be treated, accepting differences, being polite
and courteous to everyone. Respectful people solve conflicts peacefully.
Responsibility – working hard and doing what you are supposed to do. Responsible people
take care of their own things. They also do what they say they are going to do, so people can
count on them.
Caring – being kind, helpful and generous. Caring people are not selfish. They care about
other’s feelings, and are forgiving.
Fairness – playing by the rules, taking turns, and sharing. Fair people are open-minded, do not
blame others, and listen to both sides before making a decision.
Citizenship – cooperating with others, obeying the rules and laws, and respecting the authority
of parents, teachers, and other adults. Good citizens do their share. They work to protect the
environment and make their school and community a better place.
CHARACTER COUNTS! ®
A person’s "character" is the summation of his or her habits, attitudes and attributes. Because
those qualities are learned, they can also be purposefully taught. And they should be —
because good character doesn’t happen automatically, and it’s too important to be left to
chance. The effectiveness and well-being of individuals, their organizations and their society
depend on it. It is always primarily a parent’s job to teach a child how to behave and make wise
choices, but schools, other institutions and adults working with young people play critical
support roles.
Character Education programs in schools have been proven to increase student performance,
decrease discipline problems and increase student involvement in their communities. The
research that has been done on the “CHARACTER COUNTS!” program corroborates these
13
findings and shows dramatically reduced behavior problems, reduced truancy, and increased
test scores. The research makes it clear that when kids learn a consistent set of universal
values and teachers model those values and imbed them into the curriculum, behavior improves
and educational focus soars.
Today, CHARACTER COUNTS! has become the most widely implemented approach to
character education. The CHARACTER COUNTS! Program incorporates Six Pillars of
Character (Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship)
into the existing curriculum and management programs already in place to make focusing on
good character a part of everything done at a school, focusing on the rewards of character
instead of punishments.

Character Carousel®
The following characters are used at Toro Park to help students identify the different
traits of the CHARACTER COUNTS! program.
Shinrai (derived from the Japanese for “trust”) is the CAMEL who
always keeps her promises, always does what she says she’ll do
and is loyal, honest and punctual.
Austus (derived from the Estonian for “respect”) is the LION who
is confident that respect is one of the highest qualities one can
have — for nature, for others and for oneself.
Ansvar (derived from the Norwegian for “responsible”) is the
ELEPHANT with colorful ribbons ties around his trunk and tail to
help him remember his responsibilities.
Guisto (derived from the Italian for “fair”) is the GIRAFFE who
always tries to do what’s right. Guisto uses his long neck to see all
sides of any issue and has a gentle way of helping others do the
same.
Karina (derived from the Spanish for “caring”) is the KANGAROO
who has a seemingly endless supply of “things” inside her pouch,
including a special box of little hearts for children she meets on her
travels.
Kupa (derived from the Hawaiian for “citizen”) is the BEAR who
considers herself a citizen of the world. A philosopher and poet,
she believes that we are all part of the same family and must do
our share to help each other.
15
We define discipline as a process of promoting a positive and supportive learning environment
throughout the school. Such a climate can be realized when the school is characterized by:
•
•

Mutual respect of students and staff.
A high regard for the dignity of all persons.
A challenging instructional program.
Effective classroom management.
Established standards for school wide and classroom behavior.

Rewards are used to reinforce appropriate behavior.
Consequences result from negative behaviors.
Rewards and consequences are applied fairly and consistently.
RECOGNITION:
Students will receive recognition for academic achievement, attendance and demonstration of
Character Counts traits.

students for both academic and social accomplishments.
Yard duty supervisors will issue “Character Awards” to students who exhibit especially
good character on the playground. These tickets will be displayed in a prominent place.
SCHOOL RULES:
Students will demonstrate the following behaviors:
1. Show respect for adults and other children.

CONFLICT RESOLUTION:
Conflict and disagreements are normal and often happen when children get together. However,
hurtful words, gestures, or physical attacks are unacceptable ways to deal with conflict and
disagreement at school. Our goal here at Toro Park is to teach students several positive ways to
deal with these difficult situations using the skills taught in Kelso’s Choices Conflict
Management for Children.
18
Kelso’s Choices
Conflict Resolution Program
The Kelso’s Choices program is proven to:
Empower young people with the ability to
determine their own behavior, encouraging
an internal locus of control and appropriate
problem ownership. Statements such as “He
made me do it!” and “She did it first!” become
obsolete as students become accountable for
their own choices.
Reduce tattling through a proactive,
preventative approach that keeps small problems from escalating and prevents
negative attention-getting mechanisms from occurring.
Systematize expectations of student behavior and provides consistency in rules and
discipline on a school-wide basis.
Provide a cognitive structure for discriminating between “small” problems young
people can resolve and “big” problems that require adult intervention.
Increase feelings of personal competence as young people successfully resolve
conflicts, both within structured lessons and in their own lives.
Give young people an important conflict resolution tool they can use when adults
are not available or readily accessible. These situations might include riding bikes
around the neighborhood or waiting at the bus stop.
On the playground, students are asked to use Kelso’s Choices to solve small problems.
If they have used at least two choices and the problem is not resolved, they can then
ask for an adult to help intervene. Large problems can be immediately taken to an adult.
There are three kinds of big problems. There are problems that are dangerous
(someone could get hurt), there are problems that are against the law and then there
are really, really scary problems. Please encourage your child to use Kelso’s Choices
when they have a conflict with another student at school.

Code of Conduct
The intent of the Code of Conduct is to give all students, staff, and parents a common set of
rules and consequences to expect when inappropriate behavior occurs. Each incidence of
inappropriate behavior is reviewed carefully, and consequences are given accordingly. The
staff reserves the right to make decisions that may include but is not limited to the below
infractions and actions.
The Code of Conduct is enforced from the time students leave home in the morning until they
arrive home in the afternoon and at all school sponsored activities including field trips and any

DISCIPLINE REPORT:
A Discipline Report is used to inform the student’s teacher and/or school principal of infractions
that need follow-up.
For Category I Infractions:
•
•
•
•
Completed by aide, specialist, teacher, yard duty or other school employee and given to
the student’s teacher.
Classroom teacher maintains a log of citations for each student.
Consequences are administered by the student’s teacher. Actions are outlined in the
Code of Conduct.
Three or more citations in one trimester results in referral to school principal.
For Category II & III Infractions:
•
•
•
•
Completed by aide, specialist, teacher, yard duty or other school employee and given to
the school principal.
In cases where a student must be removed from the classroom immediately, a phone
call to the office is sufficient. A completed Discipline Report must be completed and sent
to the office at the next break.
Consequences are administered by the principal. Actions are outlined in the Code of
Conduct.
The principal will maintain a record of referrals to the office and suspensions.
Note: Participation in assemblies, field trips and special school or classroom activities is
contingent upon acceptable attendance and behavior.
CLASSROOM SUSPENSION:
If at any time a student’s behavior becomes so severe that a teacher feels he or she may not be
able to conduct class constructively, a Classroom Suspension may be administered. This type
of suspension may last the remainder of the day and the next day. Parents will be contacted by
the teacher administering the suspension.
SCHOOL SUSPENSION:
Students may be suspended from school attendance for specific violations of the Board of
Trustee adopted Code of Conduct, a provision of the Education Code, the Penal Code, or the
Health and Welfare Code. Suspensions range form 1 to 5 days at a time depending on the
severity of the violation. Students may be suspended up to 20 days during a single school year.
All suspensions are administered within the provisions outlined in the Education Code (EC
48000). Parents are always involved and informed when a suspension in administered.
During the suspension, the student may be held accountable for homework and other
assignments by individual classroom teachers. Teachers will give the student a reasonable
amount of time to make up any missed assignments.
Parents are required to attend a readmission conference before a student will be allowed to
return to regular attendance.
23
Attendance
Your child’s attendance in school is very important for their learning progression. Each subject is
taught in sequence which builds understanding and correct habits of studying. In order to be
ready for new steps in learning, your child must have mastered the previous step and be
sufficiently ready to profit from new materials. While a student may be able to make up the work
they missed, they can not make up the classroom experience.
The Washington Union School District receives revenue from the state, local property taxes and
personal donations. The State of California funds schools $45.00 per day for students who are
in class only. PLEASE schedule family trips and vacations during the regular breaks in the
school calendar. Besides missing valuable instruction, a child’s absence directly affects the
District’s budget.
Absences - please call the Toro Park School office 484 – 9691:
Whenever your child will not be in school, please call the school office anytime before class
begins. Please do not call the teacher’s voicemail as we may not get the message until later in
the day. We always need to hear from a parent or guardian if your child will not be attending
school for any reason.
Students may be excused from school for the following reasons: Illness, accident, visit
to a medical practitioner, funeral of an immediate family member, or attendance at a
religious retreat or observance of a religious holiday.
Five or More Consecutive Days Absent :
If your child will be absent from school five or more consecutive days, an Independent Study
Contract will provide your child the needed classroom work to keep them up-to-date. The
Independent Study Contract also financially benefits our school through ADA apportionment.
Independent Study Contracts must be requested from the school office at least two weeks prior
to the planned date of absence. All assigned work is due on the date that your student returns to
school. Trips not covered by Independent Study Contracts will be considered unexcused
absences and count towards truancy.
Tardies:
It is very important for your child to arrive on time to class. Within the first few minutes of class,
the teacher informs students of the day’s events. When a child arrives late to school, it disrupts
the synergy for the other students with the teacher. If your child will be late to school, please call
the school office to advise us of your delay. You will need to come into the school office and
sign your child in on the Parent sign-in /sign-out sheet.
Please note that oversleeping, mechanical car problems, traffic delays and other common
reasons for tardiness are not excused. The District provides transportation to all students within
its boundaries. If you choose to transport your student, please plan ahead to ensure that you will
arrive on time.
Truancies:
Students who are absent from school for any reason other than listed above will be considered
truant and absences will be recorded as unexcused. Three or more unexcused absences,
three or more tardies of 30 minutes, or ANY combination of three absences or tardies
without a valid excuse during the school YEAR make a child truant under Ed Code
Section 48260. Students who are truant three or more times during a year will be
declared habitual truants. Your child’s regular attendance is important to his/her future.
24
Students miss out on important instruction when they are absent. The Monterey County Office
of Education and the Washington Union School District will be working in coordination with the
Monterey County District Attorney, the Department of Social Services, and the Probation
Department to reduce pupil absences.
Response to pupil attendance will be enforced in the following manner:
1. If you child is absent from school without a valid excuse for three or more days, student
will be listed as truant and parents will receive a First Notice of Truancy.
2. If you child is truant for one to three days after receiving the First Notice of Truancy, your
child will be declared a habitual truant, parents will be notified in writing that such action
has been taken and they will be given the opportunity to meet with school authorities to
discuss their child’s attendance problem. The District Attorney will also receive
notification of the truancy report.
3. If school authorities and the District Attorney are unable to correct the student’s
attendance problems, a petition may be filed on behalf of the pupil in juvenile court, and
if warranted, criminal charges will be filed against the parent.
We believe by carefully verifying pupil attendance and by maintaining contact with parents, the
teacher will be able to provide your child with improved educational opportunities and a positive
learning environment.
Please feel free to contact your child’s teacher or principal during the school year regarding your
child’s attendance and academic progress.
Early Release from school:
Whenever your child will be picked up early, please send a note in your child’s folder to the
teacher noting the time you need your child in the office. You will also need to come to the
school office to sign your child out on the Parent sign-in / sign-out sheet. Please make every
effort to schedule your child’s medical and dental appointments for later in the day.
A Change to Your Child’s Normal Departure Routine from
School:
Whenever your child will change from their regular departure routine, please send a note in your
child’s folder to the teacher noting the date, the change to the routine and your signature. If the
change includes riding the bus, which your child doesn’t normally do, a sheet with 10 one-way
bus pass is available to purchase for $15.00 from the school office. Please attach the bus pass
to the note. This note will also be given to the bus driver.
25
Medication and Health Aide Information
Injuries and Illness:
If a child is injured or becomes ill at school, the parents will be notified by the health aide or
secretary. Therefore, it is very important that your child’s emergency card information be kept
up-to-date with home, work and cell phone numbers. If the parents are not available, and the
situation is serious, the person(s) designated to be contacted in case of an emergency will be
notified.
A teacher or staff member will issue a pass if a student needs medical attention. If there is an
emergency, the student should go directly to the school office. For serious injuries or injuries to
the head, parents are telephoned immediately. If parents are unavailable, the person(s) on the
emergency contact are called. If the parent and designated people cannot be contacted and the
child’s condition worsens, 911 will be called.
Under Ed Code 49407, no school district shall be held liable for the reasonable treatment of a
student without the consent of the parent/guardian when the student requires reasonable
medical treatment and the parent/guardian cannot be reached, unless a written objection to
medial treatment has been filed with the school.
Health Regulations:
DO NOT bring your child if one or more of the following symptoms of illness are apparent. We
want all the healthy children protected from illness. Each parent needs to be responsible for the
health of his/her own child.
- Temperature of 99.1 or above
- Matter (yellow discharge) in the eyes
- Copious amount of nasal drainage
- First two days your child in on antibiotics
- Rash behind ears or on body
- Sore throat or difficulty swallowing
- Incessant coughing
- Diarrhea
- Pain anywhere in the body
- Headache
- Vomiting within last 24 hours
- Sleepy, fatigued, fussy behavior
Over-the-Counter and Prescription Medication:
Medical authorization and parental permission are required for all medication administered by
the Health Aide or secretary at our school. In the event that a Medication Consent Form is not
yet signed by both the student’s physician and parent/guardian, the student’s parent/guardian
will need to administer the medication at school. School personnel may not administer any
medication without the signed Medication Consent Form. Students’ may not keep any
medication in their possession while at school. If it is necessary that a medication be given
during school hours, the following regulations must be followed:
The Medication Consent Form on file with the health aide with appropriate signatures.
Medication must be brought to school in the original container labeled by a pharmacist.
The label is to include the student’s name, doctor’s name, medication, strength, dosage
and time(s) the medication is to be given.
Any changes to the medication will require another Medical Consent Form to be
completed.

“A Great Place to Start”
HOMEWORK GUIDE
The governing board of the Washington Union School District considers homework to be an
important part of the instructional program. A carefully designed homework plan can contribute
significantly to your child’s academic success. For any homework plan to be effective it requires
the full participation of three important people: the student, the parent, and the teacher. In
education we often refer to the 3R’s, but when referring to homework the 3A’s are more
appropriate: atmosphere, attitude, and appropriateness. As a parent, the atmosphere that you
create in your home for homework helps your child to approach the assignment with an attitude
that is productive for learning. Your child ’ s teacher will make sure that assignments are
appropriate and that they reinforce learning that is taking place in the classroom or prepare
students for classroom work. In order for your child to fully benefit from the assigned homework,
we urge your active participation in this three way partnership. The benefits include: improved
study habits, self discipline, and higher academic achievement.
Why do we have homework?
1. To provide extra practice on work that has been introduced at school.
2. To extend and enhance school learned knowledge and skills.
3. To develop responsible attitudes, good study habits and effective time management skills.
4. To promote extra time to complete or make up missed work.
Some facts to remember:
1. The length of time needed to complete homework varies according to the age of the student
and the purpose of the assignment.
2. Children have different needs. Some need additional practice at home, while others benefit
from activities that apply the skills mastered at school.
3. Homework may be an enriching activity. Family visits to places of historic, cultural,
environmental, or recreational interest will extend and reinforce the school experience for
children.

Parent Involvement and Participation
Toro Park School welcomes parent involvement and participation in school and community
activities. Parents are encouraged to join the Parents’ Club, participate in WUEF (Washington
Union Educational Foundation) activities, be an Art Docent, and be an active member of the
School Site Council. We also welcome parents as volunteers for school activities, field trips,
and the book fairs. Teachers welcome parents who are interested in assisting with class
activities. One of the strengths of the Washington Union School District and Toro Park School is
strong and supportive parents. We believe that all parents can find a way to support their child’s
education through the variety of opportunities available.
Parent volunteer services are a valuable part of our school program. Each time you volunteer at
the school, to work in a classroom or on a special project, you must stop by the office and sign
in on the volunteer sign-in sheet and pick up a volunteer badge. If you do not check in at the
office you will be asked to return to the office to sign-in. For more information about our
volunteer program at Toro Park, please refer to the Volunteer Handbook on our website.
School Site Council
The Toro Park School Site Council meets monthly to monitor and provide input to the school
program. Each month, October through May, the SSC meets after school in the Multipurpose
Room. Elected staff members and others participate in monthly curricular presentations.
Opportunities are available for parents to provide suggestions for instructional improvement.
The SSC works with the staff to develop a school plan that will provide a guide for instructional
programs, both regular education and special education, and student services. Each spring the
District conducts an annual survey to determine satisfaction with the school program. Results of
these surveys are available for public review in the school office.
Each year the SSC also presents to the Board of Trustees an annual report. This report reviews
the accomplishments of the SSC goals during the year. Also included is information regarding
the level of student achievement during the year as measured by standardized tests, district
expectations, and other criteria as determined by the Board of Trustees.
Art Docents
Toro Park School students are privileged to enjoy the services of the Art Docent program. The
Washington Union Art Docent program is one of the most outstanding examples of such
programs statewide. This program (funded by WUEF) provides high quality art (both hands-on
and appreciation) programs for all students in the district. Volunteer Art Docents are trained to
work with students in a variety of art media including paint, clay, textiles, weaving, etc., and
typically work in teams and specialize in a particular grade level. For more information about
volunteer opportunities or donate to the program, please contact Linda Jang, Art Docent
Coordinator, at 484-1172.
29
EXTRA CURRICULUR ACTIVITIES
Technology
Our goal at Toro Park School is that by the end of 3rd grade, students will
- Use basic computer tools and commands (e.g. the mouse and
print command).
- Use simple computer learning applications and cd-rom.
- Use simple word processing programs (e.g. writing center).
- Use simple applications for self-expression (e.g. KidPix).
- Explore child friendly sites on the internet.
Each student attends the computer lab with their class during one scheduled visit each week.
Teachers may utilize the lab at other times during the week. In addition, each classroom has
computers available for student use.
Music & Art
Through the generosity of the Washington Union Educational Foundation
(WUEF), we have a part-time music instructor. Each grade level has a music
lesson once a week and has one grade level performance per year. In
addition, third graders learn to play the recorder in the spring.
The Art Docent Program, also supported through WUEF, is a
unique cultural enrichment program in the visual arts in the Washington Union
School District. Trained volunteers from the school community visit every
classroom each month to present a hands-on art lesson and a Picture of the
Month art appreciation lesson. In the spring, a district Art Show is presented at
San Benancio Middle School.
Library
Our library is located in the MPR behind the school office. Students may check
out books once a week during their library time. Incentives are provided for
students who complete a monthly reading log. Twice a year, once during Back to
Night and once during Open House, we have a Book Fair where you can
purchase books and other products. The proceeds from the Book Fairs help
purchase library and media supplies to help support our academic programs
here at Toro Park.
Just Run
We are proud to be a partner in the Big Sur Marathon Just Run program.
Students work individually and as a class to accumulate miles throughout
the year in “reach” Boston for the Boston Marathon. During the school
year, there are local events where students can participate sponsored by
the Big Sur Marathon.

LEARNING IS FUN
Dear Parents,
Each grade level at Toro Park School has a rich, varied
curriculum with high academic standards for all students.
Lessons are planned to help all students meet grade level
standards and also develop skills to prepare them to be
successful students and citizens.
As we plan learning activities and special projects in
language arts, math, social studies, science, art, and
drama; we often need special materials to make the
lessons more fun, motivating and interesting for the class.
To help purchase these special items, we ask each family
for a donation of $15.00 to their child’s grade level.
If you would like to make this donation, please complete
the form below and attach it to your check. (If you have
children in different grade levels, please make out each
grade level check separately.) Thank you for your
continuing support of our school programs.
Yours truly,
The Toro Park School Staff

Playground Structure Waiver
Dear Parents of Four Year Old Kindergarten Students,
We have a wonderful playground structure on the lower playground. It is designed for
students aged five and above. Students are taught safety procedures for the different
play areas on the structure. Under the supervision of teachers and instructional
assistants, the kindergarten students are allowed to play on the structure during their
recess. As with any large play structure designed for a span of ages, some of the play
events are more challenging than others. The structure is designed to limit access to
some of the play events by making the steps too high or the reach too far for smaller
children.
For insurance liability reasons, we cannot allow four year old kindergarten students to
play on the structure unless you sign a waiver giving your permission. If you prefer not
to sign the waiver, your child will need to wait until his or her fifth birthday to play on the
big play structure.
Please contact your child’s teacher if you have any questions about this.
******************************************************************************
Date___________________
I understand that the play structure on the lower playground is designed for children
ages five and above. My child, _______________________, will not be five years old
until _______________.
____ I give permission for my child to play on the large play structure before their fifth
birthday. If your child is enrolled in Time for Me this permission will extend to the
daycare program also.
____ I prefer to have my child wait until his/her fifth birthday on _________________
to play on the large play structure.
