Back to TopDoes your school offer breakfast and lunch?
Though we do not serve breakfast, we offer a nutritious lunch every school day for a reasonable price. We also participate in the federal free and reduced price lunch program for those who qualify. For more information or to apply for free/reduced meals, please see our Food Services page.
Back to TopWhat if my child requires medication during the school day?
We will administer medication in accordance with state regulations and with physician and parental approval. Please bring medications in the original, labeled packaging to the school office where you can complete our medication authorization form.
Back to TopDo you provide transportation services?
We are pleased to provide our students with safe, reliable transportation to and from school each day. We consider bus riding a privilege and expect all students to adhere to the rules for their own safety as well as for the safety of others. For information on bus policies, schedules, and routes, please visit our Transportation page.
Back to TopWhat is PowerSchool and how do I get a username and password to use it?
PowerSchool is just another way we keep communication between home and school strong. It provides you with almost real-time access to your child’s grades, attendance history, and other important information. To receive your log-in information, please call the front office.
Back to TopWhat do I need to do if my child will be absent from school?
If your child must miss school, please call the school office on the day of his/her absence by 10:30 a.m.
Pomerene Elementary School recognizes the following excuses for absence:
- Personal illness of the student
- Medical and dental appointments
- Legal appointments/proceedings
- Emergency family situation
- Participation in school events
For more information about attendance requirements, please refer to our student handbook.
What if my child arrives late to school?
A late-arriving student must go directly to the main office to pick up a tardy admittance slip. We require students to give the slip to the teacher for classroom admittance.
When a student is late or absent, it not only disrupts the late student’s learning, but it disrupts all students’ learning as well as the classroom teacher. Academic success for all depends on excellent attendance by all; therefore, it is critical that all families make every effort to ensure students are in class daily and on time.
