Access to school/Drop-off:
Students can be dropped off at 7:45 AM to enter the building doors. We will lock all exterior doors beginning at 8:15AM and unlock them again at 11:45AM for summer school pick-up. If you need to enter the building between 8:15-11:45AM you will have to use the “buzz-in system” at the parking lot and drop off entrances to the school. An office staff member will greet you and ask you to state your name and the purpose of your visit.

Electronics/Toys:
Students should not bring electronic devices or toys to summer school classes. These items are not necessary and can cause a disruption to the learning environment.

Emergencies:
We will practice fire drills and tornado drills so children are familiar with proper routines.
-
Student dress code:
The school has air conditioning and it is set at a comfortable temperature. Students are allowed to wear shorts, tank tops, t-shirts, and sandals. Please be aware of your child’s classes and how they need to be properly dressed to allow them to work to their potential.
-
Technology:
Some classes will be using District technology for learning. Please know that students in these classes may be accessing a google account, which would include a google email for login purposes. All students are expected to adhere to our School Board Policy 363.2, regarding technology and its appropriate uses.

Nurses:
A certified nurse will be at Luther and Purdy during summer school. This person is able to assist with injuries or medical accidents that may occur on school grounds. If your child has a specific health need and you would like to speak with the school nurse, please email summerschool@fortschools.org and we will connect you to her.
-
Student Name Tags:
Your child will receive a summer school name tag with his/her schedule on it the first day of classes. Please be sure to send this with your child each day during summer school as it greatly assists in student safety and helping students find their classes.

Pick-up:
Please be sure that your child understands where they will go after summer school dismisses at 11:55AM. Here are several options and information in regard to each scenario:
- BASE (Badgerland After School Enrichment Program- formerly Boys & Girls Club): Students should report to the bus they signed up for. BASE staff will ride the bus with students to the middle school (BASE is located at Fort Atkinson Middle School all summer.) NOTE: students must sign-up for BASE at basefortatkinson.org.
- Bus: Students taking the bus should line up in the front of the school, we will have them line up on the sidewalk adjacent to the parking lot.
- Parent pick up: Students will be lined up in designated areas in the front of the school. We will have them grouped by respective grade levels. Please look for the grade level sign so you know where each grade level will be standing for pick up.
