School Policies and Procedures

Health and Safety

First Aid

A First aid attendant is on staff during regular school hours. If a student is injured or feels ill, he or she should report to the First Aid Office. The attendant will make an assessment and provide treatment as necessary. Parents will be notified if the illness/injury warrants the student leaving school early.

Allergies

TIS is a “Nut Aware” School. Student safety is always our first priority. Some of our students have severe allergic reactions to nuts; they also pose a choking hazard for our younger students. Some classrooms may be classified as “nut-free” if there is a child in the class with nut allergies.

Parents will be made aware if their child’s class is a “nut-free” classroom and will be asked to refrain from sending peanuts (or other nuts) to school with their children.

Road Safety

TIS experiences heavy congestion before and after school. Please use the designated crosswalks (zebra crossings) whenever possible. Drivers are reminded to practice extra care and to drive slowly.

Parent ID Badges

TIS invites parents to be involved at the school. For the sake of security, TIS families must register for a Parent ID badge to wear when visiting or volunteering at the school.
