Non-prescription medication means only commercially prepared, non-alcohol based medication to be taken at a school that is necessary for the student to remain in school. Prescription medication should be administered at school only if the prescribed frequency requires it to be given during school hours. State law requires that the school follow certain procedures. There are times when students need to take medication at school. Please communicate with us so we can work together to support your child when he/she experiences illness during the school year. As stated above, attendance is important however, parents should not allow a child to come to school sick, with an undiagnosed rash, or with some other questionable condition. When a child is found to be ill at school we will contact the parents or guardians and the child is usually sent home until the condition clears or a doctor advises that school attendance is approved. Please see our Contact page if you would like to contact our school counselor. The counselor works with students in small groups as well as teaching whole classes and sees students individually. The counselor serves as a resource for the entire Holcomb school community. The counselor teaches guidance topics in the classroom, helps parents and teachers with student behavior issues, and acts as a liaison between school and community services. The school counselor helps students, parents, and staff. Please see our Contact page for staff phone numbers and email addresses. We hope that parents will call or visit us when they are questions or concerns. Teachers may request to meet with parents throughout the year. See the school calendar for specific dates. Individual conferences with parents are held twice each year. Thank you for your partnership in reaching our goal of every child having a 95% or higher attendance rate. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us for help with attendance or tardies. We are here to support you and your family so that your children can be successful learners. If your child is sick please report the absence by calling 50 by 8:15 am. Also, please make every effort to schedule appointments and vacations so as not to interfere with the school day. All students who arrive after 7:55 am must sign in at the office with a parent. Students who are consistently absent and/or tardy are at a clear disadvantage. Please be sure to have your child/children here on time. It has been proven that children who have good attendance are more successful in school. Holcomb Elementary is a school where students, families, staff and community work in partnership to create a safe, inclusive, and equitable educational experience for every learner.
