Visiting the School School Visitors The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education has directed all schools to implement a visitor identification system. The primary purpose for the regulation is to ensure the safety of all students and staff. In order to comply with this regulation, visitors are required to come to the office, sign the visitor computer, and wear an OP visitor tag. Visitors are NOT allowed to go directly to classrooms or other areas at any time. Visiting & Volunteering In The Office Area - New When your business or volunteer task requires access to the office, administrative offices, back office area, staff mailboxes or teachers’ lounge all visitors and volunteers must enter through the front office lobby door and stop at the secretary’s desk. The secretary will announce your visit and/or check that entry is permissible at that time. It is necessary to maintain and respect the confidential nature of all our students’ business. Therefore, there will be times when access to the back will necessarily be denied. School/Classroom Observations All requests for a classroom observation must be arranged through a school administrator. We request a 48 hour notice be to allow time to adequately arrange for the observation. Protecting the teaching time is the highest priority of the school. Sibling Guidelines At Olde Providence, we encourage parents to be involved in the school and in their child’s education. When practical, we invite the entire family to some events. At the same time, the school environment needs to remain conducive to learning and the safety of our students is paramount. With these objectives in mind, the Sibling Guidelines are as follows: Only parents/adults are invited to school parties, as the rooms become over crowded. Only parents/adults are eligible to attend field trips. Preschool siblings may come to the school with a parent who is involved in an individual volunteer activity such as AR, Art, other PTA work, etc. If a parent is doing volunteer work with a pre-school sibling, please complete the work at a table in the front lobby. Preschool siblings are welcome to come with parents to eat lunch with the older child. Preschool-aged siblings are welcome to attend awards ceremonies (such as AR awards, MLK awards or fitness awards) of the elementary aged child. We require that the preschool aged children remain with the parent at all times. We request that parents do not remove other school-aged siblings from their classrooms for these events as this is disruptive to the learning environment.
