SCHOOL BUSSES
Students may only ride a school bus if they are scheduled to do so.
Students may only ride a bus in the school district where he or she lives. This includes play dates with children in other school districts.
Although we know that this may sometimes present a problem, we could have our bus privileges taken away if we do not obey this law.
Please remember - If Philadelphia Schools are closed, there is NO transportation for the children coming to St. Philip Neri from Philadelphia.
Also - In the case of delayed openings, there is NO transportation from Philadelphia to SPN, but transportation is provided home as usual at the close of the school day.
SCHOOL VISITORS
During the school day, all visitors must report to the Main Office including parents. We will deliver forgotten lunches, books or assignments, cupcakes for birthdays or whatever a student might have forgotten or needs. Parents are not to deliver items directly to the classrooms nor should they be walking the hallways without an appointment. This disrupts the routine of the class and is not fair to students or teachers. Thank you for respecting this school policy.
ABSENCES
Please contact the school office if your child is going to miss school due to illness, doctor’s appointment etc. Informing your child’s homeroom teacher is appreciated, but it is important for the office to be notified as well.
EMERGENCY CLOSING POLICY
In the event of an emergency-related closing during school hours, the students will be released from the classrooms in accordance with your instructions on the Emergency Release Form. We will only release your child to an authorized person stated on the Emergency Release Form. Sign-out sheets will be provided in each of the classrooms. For pick up, please arrive by the Main Entrance door and then proceed to the appropriate classroom. The authorized individual will be required to sign out the student at his/her classroom. You need not report to the Main Office.
