School Information – Geist Elementary

WALKING OR BICYCLING TO/FROM SCHOOL       

Students may walk or ride their bike to and from school only when accompanied by a parent or guardian.

 
TWO-HOUR DELAY / SCHOOL CLOSING /EARLY RELEASE
Before and After School YMCA Program— The YMCA before and after school program will be open during their regularly scheduled hours on days that Hamilton Southeastern Schools are experiencing a two-hour delay. When Hamilton Southeastern Schools are closed for weather related issues, the YMCA school care is closed as well.

 
SKYLERT INSTANT ALERT SYSTEM

Schedules change, buses run late, emergencies occur.  Hamilton Southeastern Schools has implemented an instant alert system, Skylert, which can be utilized by district or individual building administrators, as needed.  This system allows the school to notify parents of emergencies and/or changes to the school’s regular schedule more quickly and conveniently.  Skylert brings critical and/or changing news directly to the intended audience, as parents can select how and where they receive messages.  Each year, the home phone number listed for the student is set as the default in the system.   Parents should update the information in the system annually which can include work phone, cell phone, email.  Updates to Skylert can be made at any time by logging into Skyward Family Access.

 
EMERGENCY PHONE NUMBERS

Upon registration of your child, you were asked to provide the school with phone numbers of people that could be reached in cases of emergency.  If these numbers change during the school year, please inform the school so that we will always have up-to-date information on file.  Please make sure the people the school is to notify are willing to take responsibility for your child in case you cannot be reached.

BUILDING VISITORS/VOLUNTEERS

Parents are welcome to visit classrooms and our school.  Please give your child time to adjust to his/her new environment.  Per Board Policy, we ask that you schedule visits with the teacher at least one school day before any such visit to set up an appropriate time and length of visit in order to keep class disruptions to a minimum.   All visitors must check in at the office to sign in, receive, and wear Visitor’s Badge before going to other parts of the building.  Any time your destination changes, please stop by the office and make note of your new location on the sign in forms.  Stop by the office on your way out of the building to sign out.  Please silence your cell phones upon entering the building to minimize disruption to the educational environment.  Visitors should refrain from taking photos of students due to FERPA privacy.

Generally speaking, teachers as well as parents, appreciate knowing when they may expect visitors.  Most teachers like to have the day on its way before visitors arrive.  Parents can understand why the first and last weeks of each semester, days prior to vacation, and scheduled testing times would preclude visitation.

It is not just a mere courtesy, but for the children’s safety and education, we cannot allow parents and/or visitors to walk into classrooms unexpectedly.  With uncertain situations and restraining orders, it is in the interest of all that our school personnel are aware of who is in the building.   Pick up or delivery of items for students must be cleared through the office.  We ask you to drop off items at the office.  We can deliver items to students without interrupting the classroom.   We must try to keep classroom interruptions to a minimum in order to maximize learning time.

Parents are welcome to volunteer in classrooms.  Please contact the teacher to arrange the appropriate date and time.  Younger siblings are not permitted to accompany parents to classrooms when volunteering.  Any individual who volunteers in Hamilton Southeastern Schools or on a school related function must have an approved background check on file.

SCHOOL NEWSLETTER

Most elementary schools publish a school newsletter and email the newsletter to parents via Skylert.  For parents without internet access, a copy will be sent home upon request.  Regular features of the newsletter include lunch menus for the upcoming week, PTO News, announcement of upcoming events, related arts rotation for the upcoming week, and more.   We encourage you to take the time to read the newsletter so that you can be better informed and aware of upcoming events and deadlines. 

 
ACCESS TO SCHOOL BEFORE OR AFTER SCHOOL HOURS

It is important to encourage student responsibility and organization of student belongings, but it is also understandable that students may forget items in the classroom from time to time.  The office staff will happily work with parents or students to return to the classrooms before or after school during normal office hours to get items they may have forgotten.  In order to maintain building security, classrooms are locked outside of school hours.  Therefore, students will be escorted to the classroom by school personnel to retrieve these items.

BACKPACK IDENTIFICATION

All students are required to have a school issued ID tag on their backpack and any other bag that is used to transport materials to school.  All lunch boxes need to be marked on the outside with the student’s first and last name.   These rules have been established to keep our students and staff safe.  It allows for school officials to quickly determine if an unmarked bag, box, etc. could be of danger to anyone.

 
BIRTHDAYS

Birthdays are a special time, but due to the number of Hamilton Southeastern students who have various food allergies, no birthday treats will be allowed at school.  Birthday party invitations should be mailed and not handed out at school.  The school will not accept flowers, balloons, or gift deliveries of any kind for students.  They not only cause a disruption in the classroom, but they also cannot be taken on the bus because they may restrict the driver’s visual field.  Instructional time cannot be used for birthday parties or celebrations.

 
CLASSROOM CELEBRATIONS

Schools may have up to two classroom celebrations during the year.  It is the decision of the individual building administrator as to what the celebrations will entail and when they will take place.   Examples of the celebrations are traditional classroom parties, presentations of student learning, or service learning projects. Treats may be provided through HSE food services in conjunction with payment by the PTO.  Students should not bring in candy or other food items during these celebrations.

 
EVENING SCHOOL EVENTS 

We ask that evening performances be events the entire family can enjoy together.  Please keep all members of your family together to enjoy our special event.  Children in the audience will be asked to sit with their parents throughout the entire performance.  As a courtesy to all performers, we request our families remain seated for the entire performance.  Please remember all HSE schools are tobacco-free and vape-free.  In addition, a student must be in attendance at school a minimum of one-half day on the day of the event to participate. 

 
STUDY TRIPS

When classroom teachers schedule a study trip for the class away from school, a permission slip will be sent home with the needed information on it.   This slip must be signed and returned.  Students without a signed permission slip, or anyone not returning the permission slip by the deadline set by the classroom teachers, will not be allowed to attend the trip.  Medications may be given by the school nurse, or their designee, when students are out of the building or on a study trip.  Before a parent is chosen to help chaperone a study trip, they must have a criminal background check approved and on file in order to accompany the class.  These forms are only valid for three years, after which time a new application may be submitted.  In addition, siblings are not permitted to attend the study trip.  Parents not chosen as a chaperone are not permitted to join the class at the destination.  This causes a major breach in our safety measures of keeping students safe while in our charge.
Administration of Medications and Treatments

to Special Needs Students on Field Trips—As a result of the growth in enrollment in our school system, there has been a corresponding increase in the number of students with special needs.   These needs often include administration of medication or treatment requiring informed judgment.  Asthma and diabetes management are examples of these special needs.

The priority of the school nurse has to remain with the greater number of students at the school campus.  Thus, on a field trip, or other student activity which takes place away from school, the school nurse will rarely, if ever, be able to accompany special needs students.  In addition, most of the teachers are not qualified to administer certain medications or treatments, or to judge the use of these for chronic medical conditions.

The parents/guardian of the student with special medical needs are expected to work with the school to arrange for an adult other than the school nurse to accompany their child on field trips or other activities when it is deemed necessary by the school nurse and school principal.  If a parent cannot accompany the child, the parent:

• May select an adult (other than the school nurse) to accompany their child; or
• May work with the school to arrange for adult supervision for their child; or
• May waive the need for an adult to specifically accompany their child; or
• May elect to decline participation in the field trip experience.

A student, trained in the use of their inhaler, glucometer, insulin therapy, or epi-pen, may be allowed to administer their own emergency medication on a field trip.  For this to occur, each student’s ability to self-administer emergency medication must be addressed in the student’s Individual Health Plan and a signed physician authorization form must be completed.

Q&A with Weekday Ministries:

What makes Weekday Ministries unique?

Weekday Ministries is proud to be a leader in connecting children with the natural world through its Certified Nature Explore® Classroom – the first of its kind in the Greater Indianapolis area. The breathtaking outdoor educational space is designed in partnership with Arbor Day Foundation and Dimensions™ Educational Research Foundation and is fully integrated into Weekday Ministries’ school and summer camp programs.

The dynamic, nature-based play and learning space was constructed using research-based, field-tested design principles to create a nature-rich outdoor experience for students. Numerous studies show that children’s social, psychological, academic and physical health is positively impacted when they have daily contact with nature, and this new space helps students meet this innate human need. By integrating well-designed outdoor education into its curriculum, Weekday Ministries is making a positive difference in the lives of children who may not be receiving adequate time exploring their interests in nature.

Currently, the Certified Nature Explore Classroom is offered at our Promise Road campus. Plans are underway to open a second certified outdoor classroom at the school’s Mud Creek Campus in Indianapolis.

To learn more about Certified Nature Explore Classroom, visit www.natureexplore.org.

This includes Music, Movement & Motor and Art.

Children also take part in a weekly Faith and Values class and attend chapel led by the Faith & Values teacher, along with campus pastors and staff. During chapel, they sing songs and actively engage in spiritual lessons. Children of all faiths are welcome!

Aspiring journalist

Geist began his journalistic career covering sports at CNN Sports Illustrated. In 2007, he was named co-host of MSNBC. Morning Joe with Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, then began sitting in for Matt Lauer on The Tonight Show in 2010. He was named one of the top Today in 2012 was then offered the role of permanent host of Sunday Today in 2016.

what is Tommy Laren doing now

When he was first approached to lead the Sunday morning program, Geist took Christine on a ski trip to discuss the possibility with her, knowing that this new role would add to his already long list of responsibilities.

Luckily she was on board, although she seems to miss a more regular schedule at times. On Variety, Geist shared that Christina sometimes asks, “Why do we go to bed at 9pm. again Saturday night? What happened to our social life? He enjoys the extra pressure. “I’m the type who likes to add to the plate,” said Geist. “I don’t have to choose, and so I won’t until I’m forced to.”

See you tomorrow at 2!

Then comes the baby – and another baby

Geist recently shared that shortly after he started writing on MSNBC, a new family member arrived. “I started making Morning Joe in April 2007 and our daughter was born in June 2007. So I’ve been up in the middle of the night since we had kids,” Geist told Glamour. “Then it was harder for obvious reasons, especially when we had a second child, and I went out at four in the morning, and Christina held a crying child in her arms, and one pulled her leg.”

At Sunday today The owner believes that working closely with Christina helped her to cope with such a busy schedule. “We always had an agreement: Christina has a morning, and I have a night. I hope my children will remember me when we dined with them, read books to them and took a bath when they were babies,” Geist said. “And we also cover for each other. It’ll be like, “I’ve got this thing tonight, can you pick up the kids?” I get an Outlook invite from Christina saying I’m picking up the ballet today, and I’m like, ‘OK, it’s on the calendar. ‘You have to pull your weight.’

Christina added that it’s not a matter of who is worse off. “Another part of it is not keeping score. If you’re comparing who’s rougher now, it’s a losing game,” she said.

Put off the date for the night… temporarily

At some point the couple also decided that Christina should quit her job so that she could be at home with the kids all the time. “Sometimes you have to look your partner in the eyes and wave the white flag. We did it when the kids were three years old and one year old,” she revealed. “Willy started filming a TV show even earlier [which started at 5:30 am] and we just had our second baby. I survived that first year, returning to work after maternity leave, but when the kids were three and one, I looked at him and said, “I’m going to quit smoking. ”

WHAT A DAY for Christina and her new children’s book SORRY YOU GROW UP YOU CAN’T GO TO SCHOOL! Thank you for all the wonderful things you wrote and said about Christina and her book today. I agree so strongly that I married her. Congratulations @UCanCallMeShark! #SorryGrownUps (: @PhotoNate)

Post shared by Willie Ghost (@williegeist) July 16, 20197:12 PM PDT

Although Christina, who recently became a best-selling children’s author, enjoyed her career, she knew that making a change would serve her family better. “I worked at Johnson & Johnson, I had a great job and had a really creative environment, but it was just too much,” she said. “We have this dynamic where it was just the two of us at the time saying, ‘OK, let’s make this decision right now and we will adapt to it with every step. ’”

Christina also shared that she and Geist are aware that certain phases of life they go through are temporary, so they can sometimes put things off, knowing that they will get that time back soon. “It’s a long game. Since then, we have been partners in life from a very early age – long before we had children or made our current careers – and we will be partners on the other side of that path,” she said. “So we can stop each other and appreciate those phases. Like we’re in a nice place with kids when they’re actually want to hang out with us. So right now, we’re prioritizing being with them over “dating.” I can look back and appreciate how far we’ve come, and I can look forward to all the chapters coming in the future.”
