During the school day the playground is reserved for students. School personnel do not supervise students on the playground before or after school hours. Any student wishing to use the playground before or after school needs to be supervised by a parent/guardian. Students are taught playground rules for safety and respect of others.
Orange Hunt has an outstanding Kiss and Ride Process which requires the assistance and support of all our families. We recommend transportation by car only when necessary. Children should be dropped off and picked up at building door 8. Drivers remain in vehicles and follow the single-file traffic pattern through the parking lot. Children should enter and exit vehicles only at the curb near the overhang. Children may not walk through the lot or among cars. Drivers should respect "no parking" and "handicap" areas. Emergency vehicles must always have access to the school. REMEMBER: It is unlawful to pass a school bus, even in the parking lot or driveway, if its lights are blinking, or if it is loading or unlading children. To support a smooth Kiss and Ride process, students may be dropped off starting at 8:05 a.m.
The front circular driveway is reserved for bus traffic and emergency vehicles only. For safety reasons, cars may not enter the circle and park in the bus loop in front of the school. Parking is available adjacent to the school. The speed limit on the school grounds is 5 m.p.h. and seatbelts or booster seats are required for all passengers.
Homework is assigned to practice an essential skill and to enrich, enhance, or extend school experiences. Homework encourages responsibility, gives practice in developing good work habits, and affords opportunities for increasing self-direction and learning how to budget time wisely. As a rule, children will receive homework each evening Monday-Thursday for approximately 10 minutes per grade level. Students may, at times, have homework on the weekend. Daily class assignments that are not completed within the allocated time should be completed by the next school day.
If a child is ill and cannot attend school, we ask that you not request missed assignments. After returning to school, the teacher will assess the student's needs and make assignments accordingly. If a child is absent for an extended period due to illness or injury, contact the teacher to discuss a plan for instructional support. Please do not request work in advance due to a planned absence.
The "Hoot" Program established at the school follows the tenants of Positive Behavior Support (PBS) when consistent guidelines are created for all areas of the school. Orange Hunt's mascot is the owl and the children voted to name him "Hoot." Hoot delights the children with classroom visits and often can be seen at quarterly Town Meetings. Our motto is: Making Wise Choices--Ownership, Willingness to learn, Lending a hand, Safety for all.
