Getwell Elementary School August 1, 2017 Dear Parents and Families of Getwell Elementary School, On behalf of the administration, faculty, and staff of Getwell Elementary School, I am fortunate to welcome all new and returning students to a compassionate and responsive atmosphere that offers powerful learning experiences to meet individual student needs. Our entire school community works together to provide a warm, supportive, and nurturing environment that encourages a culture of teaching and learning. We are grateful to have been selected as your partner in your child’s flight towards academic excellence. This Student-Parent Handbook outlines policies and procedures for Getwell families. Regulations and expectations contained in the handbook have been adopted to ensure the smooth and fair operation of our school. Also included within this Handbook is the School Discipline Plan that focuses on increasing respect and responsibility among students. This plan outlines rules, logical consequences, and special programs that teach students self-respect, as well as, respect for others. All students are expected to be responsible and accountable for their own behavior throughout the entire school and off-campus events. Please read the handbook carefully and share all relevant information with your child. We look forward to you joining us on this mission to develop the highest levels of academic proficiency and personal character in all students. While in pursuit of our vision, students, parents, community and school personnel will work together to conquer any challenges encountered. Sincerely, Trina M. Holly, Ed.D.
