COMMUNICATION

B. Edward Boudreaux Middle School is aware of the need to communicate quickly with the families of our students and to provide school-related information that is easy to find.

PLANNERS/HOME TO SCHOOL FOLDERS

All students will receive a planner and a home to school folder.  These items serve as a means of communication between home and school.  Students are expected to have both these items with them in all classes daily.  The planner is used to help the student stay organized by writing daily assignments, upcoming activities or events, computer login information, and reading levels. Parents are expected to check their child’s planner daily for assignments. The planner is also the student’s hall pass to travel to locations outside their classroom.  The home to school folder will provide the students with a place to put important information to bring home and return to school. 

EMERGENCY/SEVERE WEATHER SITUATIONS

St. Mary Parish School Board will send out messages via their website and through JCalls and JTexts to inform parents of certain emergency/severe weather situations. Parents are asked to continue to check the district’s webpage and local weather stations for updates. 

JTEXTS 

JTexts and JCalls will be made throughout the school year to keep parents informed of events or important upcoming information needed to know concerning your child at B. Edward Boudreaux.  Please also check our Facebook page and school web page. 

MOBILE APP/SCHOOL WEBSITE

B. Edward Boudreaux Middle School maintains an ad-free website that includes a copy of this handbook and information about our school, including contact information for faculty, staff, and administration: http://www.stmaryk12.net/beb  

PARENT/TEACHER CONFERENCES

Call the office to speak with the principal, assistant principal, or school guidance counselor to set up a conference with your child’s teacher. Open communication is important on the success of your child’s performance in school. 

PARENT VOLUNTEERS

Parents are welcome to come into the school to volunteer.  Before volunteering, all volunteers must have a background check. Please check with the principal or assistant principal to set up a meeting if interested in volunteering. 

CHECK-OUT POLICIES

Students who become ill at school must obtain a checkout form from a teacher who should sign it after it is filled out, then send it to the office.  The office staff will call the parent or guardian.  It is imperative that the school have updated contact information in case of emergencies, so if you change your number, please notify the school immediately. In case of obvious distress or injury, these procedures will be eliminated.  Students are only allowed to be checked out by a parent, guardian, or those listed on the Student Information Card. The sign-out sheet in the office must be completed at checkout time.  Students will be called from class at the time of checkout.  

             

FAMILY CONCERNS

CUSTODY

If there are any concerns regarding custody issues of our students, please set up a meeting with the principal or school counselor to address any concerns. 

MEDICATIONS

Students are not allowed to take or possess any medication (even over the counter) at school except under the guidelines of the St. Mary Parish School Board medication policy.  

For long term daily medication, the required paperwork is needed as well as a meeting with the school nurse. 

MESSAGES FOR STUDENTS

If an emergency happens and a message is needed to inform your child, please call the office, or come by the school.
