Annual CAHS Homecoming Parade of Classes - Friday, October 4, 2019
Students should arrive at the game (Del Norte High School) by 7:30 pm.
There will be no admission price for students participating in the parade. Parents, however, will need to purchase a ticket.
Please encourage students to wear either a school shirt or school colors.
Students should meet at the end of the field, by the scoreboard when there are 5 minutes on the clock for the second quarter. The announcer will remind them when it is time to line up.
Students will line up according to class (K-8 th grade)
We will need someone from each school to help organize students. The youngest ones will probably need someone to walk with them and lead the way for the others.
Students will walk in front of the home bleachers to the end of the field, where they will sit in the end zone during halftime. We will need a few teachers to help keep them still and quiet during halftime.
We will provide the banners for the lead students to carry.
Once they get to the end of the bleachers, they are to sit in the end zone, quietly, while the Homecoming Court is announced and stay in that area (seated) until halftime is over.

PARKING AND SCHOOL DAILY SCHEDULE
Parking Policy
Please follow the arrows and sign to our parking lot. We are the second lot as you drive in. The first lot is for the Church and Preschool only. We want to be respectful of our neighbors, so please park in our lot only.
There is no drop off in the church parking lot. For security of our kids, we need to drop them off in our parking lot or directly to our office. This is especially important for our K-2 classrooms on the first level. They must go to the office and be walked to class if they are late.
Thank you for following our parking policies!
School Drop Off Traffic Flow Diagram
School Pick Up Traffic Flow Diagram
Drop off is from 8:30 - 8:45 am.
We will meet in the gym for our all school assembly from 8:45 - 9:00 am. All family and friends are welcome at our morning assembly. All kids will follow their teacher to their first morning class at 9:00 am.
Late arrivals will need to check in at the office. Office Staff will walk students to their class.
Pick up is at 3:00 pm for K-2nd and 3:30 pm for 3-8th.
Younger siblings waiting for older ones will be supervised on the playground until the 3:30 pm pick up.
We have two lines of traffic that come into the pickup area.
At book pick up, you will receive a placard with your last name to display in your car window.
Last names beginning with A-K are on the playground lane (inner right lane) and L-Z are on the parking lot lane (left lane). Signs will be posted to help with traffic flow. The first few weeks will be slower as we learn to recognize cars. Please be patient as we work this out. Last year we were able to get everyone in and out within 10 minutes.
PARENT FORMS
Alternate Pick Up - Please complete this form and bring to our front office if your child(ren) will be picked up by someone other than a parent or guardian
Medication Form - 2019-20 Medication Form will now require a doctors signature for ANY medication
Household Information Update - Please return this form to the office with any new information so we can update our records. If you change your residential address, we will need a current proof of residence showing the new address.
NEW Medication Policy for the 2019-2020 school year
The California Department of Education has requirements for the way schools handle student medications, and because of that, all TCA schools will put into effect the following medication policy for the 2019-2020 school year.
Per Education Code 49423 & 49423.1, any medication required to be taken during school hours, whether prescribed or over-the-counter, must have a doctor's signature, name of the medication, dosage, schedule, and method of delivery . We also must have a written statement from the parent indicating the desire to have the school assist the student with the medication per the doctor's order. Even if your student will be carrying their medication with them, we still have to have a signed form from the doctor, from the student stating they understand how to take the medication, and signed approval from the parent.
We will no longer be able to administer any type of medication (not even Tylenol or Ibuprofen) without a doctor's signature, even if it is only a one-time situation. We will also no longer be able to accept any loose medication. All medication must be in the original container.
We know this might be inconvenient, but it is really for the safety of the students. Since we do not have licensed nurses on site, these changes are being made to allow safe delivery of medication and predictable outcomes for students who are assisted by unlicensed personnel. We are receiving annual training by the school nurse to deliver medications safely. Any medication requiring extra skill for delivery will be communicated to the school nurse who will then set up training with selected staff.
If your child will need to have medication available in the office next school year, you can pick up one of the new medication forms ,which has a spot for your doctor's signature, in the front office or download the form here.
Please note, this new form is only good for one year and should not be dated before July 1st, 2019.
