As the Greek Philosopher Socrates once said, “the unexamined life is not worth living.” Tamanend’s seventh graders certainly examined life as they donned togas to participate in Greek Day! Students put their knowledge of Ancient Greece to the test as they demonstrated feats of strength at the Olympics, recreated a bartering economy at the agora, reconstructed exquisite temples, applied Greek letters to mathematical concepts, designed a hoplite shield, interpreted ancient Greek drama, and explored their understanding of words in a rousing game of Taboo. The day concluded with a screening of Disney’s Hercules as a reward for their positive engagement so far this year. The Journey and Legacy team teachers are proud of the students’ efforts and look forward to learning more about the Greeks together in the weeks ahead!

The Central Bucks School District attendance policy (#204) conforms to the Pennsylvania School Code sections 1326 to 1333 dealing with compulsory school attendance. “Every child of compulsory school age having a legal residence in this Commonwealth… is required to attend a day school in which the subjects and activities prescribed by the standards of the State Board of Education are taught.”

Reporting an Absence from School:

• Parent/guardian must notify Tamanend Attendance of students excuse for absence using the Parent Portal (see below) or by calling (267)893-2920.

Excused Absences and Medically Excused Absences:

Excused Absence (E) is granted for the following reasons: illness, quarantine, death in the family, impassable roads, inclement weather, religious holidays, health care, exceptionally urgent reasons, and family trips. We recommend that you provide the office with a medical note anytime your child is absent and sees a doctor. Absences substantiated with a doctor's notes are considered "Medically Excused". After the 10th absence excused by a parent/guardian, students must submit medical note for all subsequent absences. If a medical note is not provided, the absences is considered Unexcused (U).

Unexcused Absences:

Unexcused Absence (U) may be declared for reasons such as employment, truancy, car trouble, parental neglect, oversleeping, missing the bus, shopping, babysitting, visiting relatives, hunting, fishing, working at home, vacation trips, unauthorized leaving from school, and remaining at home to do school work. In situations where absence is declared unexcused or unlawful, students may be assigned to make up time missed outside regular school hours.

Consequences for Unexcused Absences:

Attendance to school is crucial to academic success. As stated above, parents must provide notice of excused absences as allowable by the PA School Code. If a student does not provide an excusable notice within three days after their absence, the following consequences may be applied:

1. Detention

2. Saturday detention

3. Parents will receive attendance letters which state that continued unlawful absences my result in referral to the magistrate.

4. District Justice will notify parent of truancy hearing date and if found guilty, be subject to fines and penalties prescribed by the School Code of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

Appointments:

• If possible, all appointments should be scheduled outside the school day.
• If an appointment must be scheduled during the school day, parent/guardian must either:
  • send a note in with the student stating the time of pick up and the reason for the early dismissal.
    • The student should submit the note to the main office before homeroom.
  • excuse the student for early dismissal using the Parent Portal.
• At the time of dismissal a parent/guardian must sign their student out in the main office.
• For the absence to be recorded as Medically Excused, a physician's note must be submitted to the front office upon return.

Lateness to School:

• Late students MUST sign in at the Main Office when they arrives to school.
• A note must be provided by the parent/guardian stating the reason for the lateness, or parents must excuse the student using the Parent Portal. Oversleeping, traffic, car trouble, and missing the bus are considered unexcused latenesses to school.
• After three unexcused latenesses to school, students will begin to receive disciplinary consequences.

Vacations/Family Trips, Field Trips, & other Planned Absences:

1. Two weeks before a planned absence, student should pick up a "Request for Approved Absence" form in the Main Office.
2. Parent/guardian should fill out the form. Request for Approved Absence for Family Travel

Missed Work:

• Students are responsible for making up all work missed as a result of excused absences. If students will be out for an extended amount of time (at least 3 full days), parent/guardian should call the student’s school counselor.
• A student is allowed the same number of days to make-up work as the number of days she/he missed for excused absences and lateness. Students are obligated to discuss and arrange plans for make-up work within that time. Failure to do so may result in failing grades on missed assignments.

Auto Caller:

If a student is marked absent, the Tamanend Attendance Auto Caller will contact parents/guardians by phone for notification.

Assessment and PA Graduation Requirements / Grades 7 - 12 Reassessment Guidelines (cbsd.org)

Tamanend Middle School empowers students to grow academically, socially and emotionally. Students, staff, and families work collaboratively to model the acronym ROAR.

Respect yourself, others, and property.

Own your behaviors.

Act appropriately.

Remember Kindness.

We believe that a caring, positive school culture and learning environment foster respectful, thoughtful, appropriate, and kind citizens.

In order to operationalize our mission, Tamanend utilizes a school-wide positive behavioral intervention and support plan (SWPBIS). This plan helps us establish a social culture in which students expect and support appropriate behavior from one another— creating school environments that are socially predictable, consistent, safe, and positive. This helps to reduce problem behaviors that lead to office discipline referrals and suspensions, and to change perceptions of school safety.

🐅

Our Central Bucks “Guidance” Department will now be known as “Student Services” Department. We are making this name change K-12 to better represent the wide-range of services that our department provides to students and families across the district. While we certainly provide “guidance” to students, our School Counselors, School Psychologists, Student Support Social Workers, Student Support Counselors, and Nurses provide services including academic planning; college and career planning; social and emotional programs and initiatives; physical wellness; connections to community resources (financial, housing, food, services); and educational record management. We look forward to seeing students and families in our Student Services Office!

The SAP Team is a state mandated team, a group of trained faculty members who can connect students with appropriate help and resources if they are struggling with mental health concerns and/or alcohol/substance use. If you notice concerns such as major changes in behavior or mood, drop in achievement, or signs of drug/alcohol use, then you may consider a SAP referral. When we receive a referral, we gather more information to determine if there is a need for intervention, further assessment, or to offer other resources. Raquel Riad is our in-house support that we can refer kids to for various reasons and we can also enlist the help of the Caron Foundation for certain substance abuse concerns. The information is confidential, and the process is for the purpose of offering help and resources. Anyone can refer a student about whom they are concerned by contacting a SAP Team member OR by completing this SAP Referral Form

Kindergarten and New Students:

All new students will need to use the following:

Families can find their username by logging into Parent Portal >

More > Family Information. For support they can contact their

building office, librarian (elementary), or counselor (secondary).

New student passwords are First Initial - Uppercase, last initial -

lowercase, Date of birth - numeric. Example: John Smith born

12/25/2003 = Js122503

All new students will be forced to make a new password their first time

logging in.

Please do NOT reset your entire class or use the same password for

all students.

Microsoft will also prompt the student to answer security questions

for SSPR the first time logging in.

Grades 1-12:

All students in grades 1-12 should use their password from last year. If students forget their password, please have them refer to the instructions at www.cbsd.org/passwordguide.

Children entering 7th grade are required to have:

• 1 dose Meningococcal Conjugate (meningitis)
• 1 dose TDAP – tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis

Students must be fully immunized by the 5th day of school. Please send an up to date copy of your child's immunization report Mrs. Lauren Myrtetus, our certified school nurse.

To check the immunization status of your student, go to the Portal and click on the Health tab.

Dental exams are required for all 7th Graders by October 15, 2023. Any exam given since September 1, 2022 is acceptable. Please have your student turn in his or her dental exam form directly to the Health Office.

Students eat lunch with their grade-level classmates. 7th Grade lunch is after 4th Period. 8th Grade lunch is after 5th Period. 9th Grade lunch is after 3rd Period.

Families can access the online application for Free & Reduced Meals by clicking here. The application must be submitted each year. If your child received free or reduced lunch last year, you must re-apply for the 23-24 school year if you wish to be eligible for this program.

For supervision and safety reasons, students may not be dropped off at school before 7:10 a.m. If you are driving your student to school and arrive before 7:10, please remain in your car with your student until 7:10 a.m.

On Monday, June 5, 2023 we instituted a new morning drop-off/traffic pattern at Tamanend. We will continue with this pattern for the 23-24 school year as we found it reduce wait time for buses, car riders, and staff entering our parking lots in the mornings. This is an explanation of the traffic pattern we will continue to follow. In the morning only, car riders will use the “bus loop” and ONLY busses and staff members will be allowed to enter the Main entrance. Car riders should pull up as far as possible in the unloading zone, but may drop off their children anywhere along the sidewalk. We will continue to encourage drivers to enter the school property from the Kelly Road side so that they may make a right-hand turn on to the property. For the afternoon, parents picking up their children will utilize the Main entrance and busses will utilize the “bus loop”.

Any discussion of traffic patterns provides a good opportunity to remind everyone in our community about the importance of driving safely around our school. We have many students who walk to and from school. Some of our students must cross Stuckert Road in the mornings and afternoons. Please remember the speed limit on our property and in the school zone on Stuckert Road is 15 miles per hour. Please be mindful of the stop sign on Stuckert Road at the intersection with Herblew Road. Thank you in advance for driving safely and for watching closely for our students who walk to school.

TAMANEND MORNING TRAFFIC PATTERN--

TAMANEND AFTERNOON TRAFFIC PATTERN--

When the weather is poor (heavy rain, low temperatures, etc.), more and more parents/guardians choose to drive their children to school. A reminder that students are expected to be in their 1st Period classes by 7:30 AM. If a child is late to school because of CBSD transportation, their tardiness will be excused. If a student is late to school because of car trouble, over-sleeping, or they are in the car drop-off line, their tardiness is unexcused. Typically, there are few cars in the drop off line from when the doors open at 7:10 until about 7:20. After 7:20, the line begins to get very long.

If you drive your child to school and the weather is poor, please consider leaving home earlier so that your child arrives to class on time.

Thanks for your assistance!

The regular school day is from 7:30--2:30.

7:10: Students may be dropped off at Tamanend.

We would like to take this opportunity to update everyone on Tamanend's cell phone policy. It is important that cell phones be turned off and put away during the school day so that students can focus on learning and interacting appropriately with their peers. For some students this will be a change, and will will work through this together.

Cell phones and other electronic communication devices must be turned off and kept out of sight during the hours of 7:30 am and 2:30 pm, including at lunch time and between classes. Students will not be permitted to use their cell phones during the school day, unless instructed by an adult for educational purposes.

In addition, students may use the Main Office phone to contact their parents to convey important messages. We greatly appreciate your support of this policy. It is very important that we work together to help students focus on learning and limit distractions and disruptions caused by cell phone use during the academic day.
