Overview

Jing Mei Elementary is one of 17 elementary schools within

the Bellevue School District. Jing Mei serves, currently, 260 students

in grades kindergarten through the fourth grade. The Jing Mei staff is

committed to working together to provide the best possible

education for each student. We value working collaboratively with

each family and believe that the connection between home and

school plays an important role in the success of each student and

their educational journey in the Bellevue School District. Thank you

for choosing a bilingual journey and sharing your children with us.

Jing Mei History

Bellevue School District started a Mandarin Dual Language

program in September 2011 with a single kindergarten classroom in

Ardmore Elementary. In April 2013, the district decided to form a

Mandarin Dual Language school and moved the program from

Ardmore to start Jing Mei Elementary in September 2013.

Jing Mei opened with over 100 students; two new

kindergarten classrooms, and brought in the two first and second

grade Mandarin Dual Language classrooms from Ardmore.

Jing Mei is the only Mandarin Dual Language School in the

State of Washington which follows a two-way model. This model

enables students from both native and non-native Mandarin

speaking families to enroll. Thus classes are balanced between

native Chinese speakers and students who speak other languages

such as English, Spanish, Hindi, Korean, Thai, etc. English and

Mandarin are used to teach the curriculum throughout the day. The

goal is for students to become bilingual, bicultural and bi-literate;

meaning they will develop high levels of proficiency and literacy in

both languages, demonstrate high levels of academic achievement,

and develop an appreciation for and an understanding of diverse

cultures.


10

Jing Mei is growing with increasing enrollment interests. In

the 2015-16 school year, a new first grade classroom is added to the

existing two, and the first cohort of students has reached fourth

grade. The school is founded on applying best practices and using

the Guiding Principles for Dual Language Education to develop and

evaluate our program effectiveness. Interdisciplinary curriculum and

backward design thematic units are critical components in the

school’s dual language curriculum development. The school and the

district have been working to develop a vigorous curriculum from K-

12 that is aligned with Common Core State Standards and district

missions and initiatives to enable students reach academic

excellence, prepare students for college, career and life, and lead a

positive and productive life in the 21st century.

STUDENT – PARENT HANDBOOK ABCs

ADDRESS OR EMERGENCY INFORMATION/CHANGES

It is the Parent/Guardian’s responsibility to notify the front office or

via email of any changes of address, work or home number or

emergency contacts so they may be changed on school records. Any

changes need to be noted immediately for safety reasons.

AFTER SCHOOL PLANS

Should your child wish to go home with a friend or anywhere else

other than the normal afterschool destination, written permission

from a parent or legal guardian must be brought to the school office

in the morning, by 9:30AM. School phones are not available to make

last minute afterschool plans. If plans should change during the

school day, please notify main office before 2PM on that day.

Change of dismissal plans called in after 2PM are not guaranteed to

be delivered to the student unless it is deemed an emergency.

ARRIVAL/DISMISSAL

Students are to arrive at school between 8:45 am and 8:55 am and

line up at the East Undercover Area in their class line in one straight

line. Prompt arrival at school is expected of all students. Students

who arrive after 9:00am are considered tardy and must report to the

Office. Students are prohibited from arriving prior to 8:45 because

there is no adult supervision available outside.

Unless students are involved in a supervised after-school activity,

students must leave campus at the end of the school day (3:25pm, or

1:05pm on Wednesdays.) In order to not interrupt instruction at the

end of the day, parents are asked to wait outside the building at a

family designated area (covered area or courtyard suggested) to

meet their children at dismissal. If you are using the designated pick

up area, please remain in your car at all times, pull forward in order

to keep the traffic flow moving, and follow directives of staff

members and volunteers. Staff will remain outside with students

until 3:40PM.


20

In order to ensure student safety, any student picked up after 3:40

will need to be picked up in the main office and signed out by a

parent /guardian. Frequent late pick-ups may result in the need for a

plan to be made between the principal and family in order to rectify

the situation.

Students will be walked in grade level groups to the appropriate

dismissal area after school.

The bus loading area is located in the front of the building, the car

drop off/pick up is located in the visitor parking lot, and parents who

are picking up children by foot can meet them in the covered

walkway located on the east side of the campus.

ATTENDANCE/TARDY

24 Hour Hotline 425-456-6901. Call by the start of school to notify

the Office of your child’s absence.

Regular attendance is important to a student’s success in school.

Students are expected to be in school unless excused. An absence

from school will be excused for the following reasons:

Illness or medical injury

Family emergencies

Observations of established religious holidays

Absences which are considered appropriate under the

guidelines from Board Policies and Procedures, and with

prior arrangement with the Principal*.

*Pre-arranged absences: if your child is going to be absent for 2 days

or more due to family plans, please obtain a Request for Excused

Absence Form from the Office. It must be received by the Principal,

at least 5 school days prior to the absence, in order to be considered

for excusal.


21

Please be advised that 3 unexcused tardies is equal to 1 unexcused

absence. Because frequent tardiness and absences affect student

learning, this issue will be addressed by the Principal. Actions might

include referrals to the County Court system and, if pertinent,

sending students back to their home schools. You will be informed

via letter and/or phone call if you are in jeopardy of your student

being considered “truant.”

BECCA BILL: WASHINGTON STATE TRUANCY LAW

The Attendance Office, administrators and counselors will ensure

that Jing Mei Elementary complies with the state truancy law, RCW

28A 225. The law requires parents to cause their student(s) to attend

school regularly and to provide valid justification to the school when

their student(s) is absent. Jing Mei Elementary will notify

parents/guardians of unexcused absences. Students may be subject

to consequences such as conferences, detention, or in-school

suspension, due to continued unexcused absences.

Removal/Release of Student during School Hours

Students will not be removed from school grounds, any school

building or school function during school hours except by a person

authorized according to district procedures. Prior to sending a

student to his/her home for illness, discipline or a corrective action,

the principal will attempt to reach the student's parent to inform

him/her of the school's action and to request that he/she come to

the school for the child. If the principal cannot reach the parent, the

student will remain at school until the close of the school day.

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS

Due to food safety issues, allergies and the rise of childhood obesity,

teachers and parents are strongly encouraged to celebrate holidays

and birthdays with nonfood items and activities, according to BSD

Board Policy 6700 as well as BSD Board Procedure 3420P. Teachers

may have specific requests regarding birthdays and celebrations.

Therefore, it’s always important to learn about your child’s classroom

guidelines and to discuss your desire for a birthday celebration with


22

your child’s classroom teacher ahead of time. If a birthday is

celebrated at school, please note that staff will plan on a short

celebration (5 minutes.) Please note:

If your child’s classroom teacher allows birthday treats, they

should be educational and inclusive, and be in alignment

with BSD Nutrition Policy.

There is no refrigeration available for birthday treats at

school.

Please be aware of children and all food allergies.

Birthday invitations must be emailed/mailed and cannot be

handed out at school.

Ideas for celebrating a child’s birthday or special accomplishment

include donating a favorite book to the school library or classroom in

the child’s name. Kids love this gift! Ask your classroom teacher and

school librarian for title suggestions.

BUSES

Bus service is provided for Jing Mei students. If you have a question

about a bus-stop or interested in signing up for bus service, please

contact District Transportation at 425-456-4512 or check out the BSD

website.

CELL PHONES

Use of cellular phones is NOT allowed at Jing Mei, during school

hours. Students are encouraged to leave their devices at home.

However, should a student need to bring their cell phone on campus,

they may have it at school ONLY if it is turned OFF, is OUT OF SIGHT,

and is kept in their backpack, unless it is requested by the classroom

teacher to use for instructional purposes. Students who keep cell

phones for emergencies may use their phone in parent pick-up

zones before and after school only. If a staff member sees or hears a

cell phone during the school day, it will be confiscated and held for

parent/guardian pick-up.


23

Jing Mei is not responsible for recovery of lost or stolen property and

will not investigate the theft of cell phones. Disciplinary action for

cell phone usage during school hours includes:

1. Cell Phone confiscated and picked up at the office

2. Cell Phone held for parent/guardian pick-up

Please read BSD Policy 3245 should you wish to learn more about

telecommunication devices on school property.

CHAPERONES

All field trip chaperones must complete and submit a volunteer

application. Applications are available at our Jing Mei Office or any

Bellevue school. Please complete and return the application to the

school where you wish to volunteer. All applicants must provide a

copy of valid photo identification when returning the application. All

volunteers must pass the screening process BEFORE volunteering in

our school and/or attending any field trips.

It is extremely helpful if all chaperones adhere to the guidelines

outlined below:

1. Strictly follow the field trip schedule

a. No unapproved stops or deviations

2. Remain close to your assigned group of students to prevent

unsafe, impolite or inappropriate behavior

3. Report problems with student behavior to teacher

immediately

a. Do not accept disrespectful behavior of any kind

from students

CONFERENCES

Parent-Teacher Conferences provide the opportunity to share

valuable information about student progress in school. Parents may

request a conference with the child’s teacher or the principal at any

time during the school year. Formal conferences are held in the fall

for all students. Spring conferences are held at teacher/parent

discretion.

24

CURRICULUM NIGHTS

Jing Mei Curriculum Nights will take place at the beginning of the

school year. Curriculum Night is an opportunity for you to hear from

your child’s teacher about the grade level standards, expectations

and how you can support your child throughout the school year. The

evening events typically last from 1-1.5 hours and are intended as

informational nights for parents. Students are encouraged to stay at

home, unless directly supervised by the adult/guardian. The

following Introduction and/or Curriculum Nights* will occur as

outlined below.

*Please note: This time is not intended for individual conferencing

DISCIPLINE

We believe in utilizing the research behind positive behavior

intervention strategies and support systems; intended to

teach students appropriate behaviors in response to their

actions.

We specifically instruct students in the areas of self-

management and self-awareness and problem solving

through the utilization of the Second Step curriculum (in

grades K-2) and the RULER curriculum (in grades 3-5).

We encourage students to use the Virtues language and

other problem solving strategies to peacefully solve social

and behavioral conflicts.

If a student is not able to meet the guidelines for success, we have a

progressive system that involves communication to the family of


25

student(s) involved and varying levels of consequences at school.

The consequences rendered will be based on several factors

including, but not limited to the severity of behavior, a particular

student’s behavior record, and the age of the student(s) involved.

Please see the Student Behavior section for more detailed

information about expectations.

DRESS CODE

Please be thoughtful in helping your child select appropriate clothes

and shoes to wear to school each day. Clothes selected to wear to

school should be appropriate for the learning environment and

weather forecast. Footwear should be chosen with safety in mind,

considering that most students are running around outdoors during

recess, climbing on playground equipment, and playing games. See

below for Board Policies and Procedures on Student Dress.

Sneakers are required for every PE session. Every student will

attend PE once a week.

If a child is deemed to be dressed inappropriately, parents will be

contacted and asked to bring more appropriate clothing to school

for your child. Whenever possible, alternative clothing will be

provided to the child (sweat shirt, pants, etc) to wear for the duration

of the day.

DROP OFF/PICK UP ROUTE AND EXPECTATIONS

If your child will NOT be riding the school bus, please take the time

to review the below diagram and read the following information

carefully to determine the best plan of action for your family to

useduring the busy arrival and departure times at Jing Mei.


26

If you would like to park your car, the following options exist for

drop off (See map also):

1. Park in the school parking lot (parking space is very limited)

and walk your child to the East undercover area.

2. Park in the neighborhood and walk your child to the East

undercover area.

If you would like to park your car, the following options exist for

pick up (See map also):


or in the neighborhood and meet your child in the courtyard

in front of their classroom. Plan to arrive at the courtyard 5

minutes before school dismissal to meet up with the class as

they are coming out. See diagram

for example.



27

and meet your child in front of the Gymnasium.

If you would prefer to stay in your car for drop off and pick up:

Utilize the student drop off/pick up lane located in visitor

parking.

Remain in your vehicle at all times (as this is the designated

fire lane).

Pull all of the way forward before letting your child in/out

the car

If your child needs assistance in getting situated in a booster

seat, please park your car rather than using the drop off/pick

up lane.

Finally, in the Jing Mei parking lot, please use the virtues of

patience and responsibility and help keep our children safe by

refraining from using your cell phone! Also, as a general rule,

please allow additional time during our peak arrival and dismissal

periods. Furthermore, while every Jing Mei staff member assists in

ensuring a safe dismissal for our students and families; please use a

respectful tone at all times towards Jing Mei staff members,

volunteers, and other people patrolling the parking lot.

Should you have any questions or concerns, please direct them to

the Jing Mei Principal, Vivian Tam (425-456-6906 or

[email protected]) or Office Manager, Vicky Mai (425-456-6900 or

[email protected]).

EMERGENCY INFORMATION

It is EXTREMELY important that each child has an Emergency

Information Form on file in the office. Forms are distributed the first

week of school and due back in the office the first week of school.

This form provides names and phone numbers of emergency

contacts. If your child is sick or injured, or if there is an emergency at

the school, the office first calls the parents/guardians listed at their

home, work, cell and e-mail. If we are unable to reach them, we

leave messages whenever possible and proceed down the

mailto:[email protected]

mailto:[email protected]


28

emergency contact list in the order given. We often face the

dilemma of not being able to contact anyone because phone

numbers have changed or are no longer in use, or we simply don’t

have other names to call. We would appreciate you listing several

contacts and advising us when changes occur.

Should an emergency occur, please do not phone or rush to the

Jing Mei campus but wait for communication from the school

and from the district’s Communication Department. Emergency

pick up information will be available via electronic mail, and also

from the school website and from the district website.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

An extensive emergency plan has been prepared for our school.

Students are instructed on emergency procedures and participate in

monthly drills. A large storage container houses our emergency

supplies including bottled water, tools, first aid supplies, etc. In the

event of an emergency, power may be lost and we may be unable to

contact you. For that reason we ask you to provide us with

instructions and permission regarding your child’s dismissal. Please

refer to the emergency information section above for more

information.

ENROLLMENT

Kindergarten Enrollment

If the enrollment for the Mandarin Dual Language Program (K-5 at

Jing Mei Elementary) is less than the maximum number of students

and the language dominance of the students is balanced, then all in-

district students who apply will have a space in Kindergarten. If the

enrollment is greater than the maximum in either language group

(13 and 13 per classroom), then a lottery will be conducted and a

waiting list will be established by language group.

First preference for Kindergarten enrollment in Mandarin

Dual Language Program is given to students who have

siblings currently enrolled in the Mandarin Dual Language

Program, up to 50% of the total enrollment per language

group.

If the total number of siblings exceeds 50% of the

enrollment of the class, preference will be given to siblings

of students in the K-4 program, and 5-12 students after the

K-4 siblings have been placed.

If the number of applicants with siblings in K-4 at the time of

the lottery exceeds fifty percent of the available Kindergarten

spaces, an initial sibling lottery of the K-4 group will be

conducted.

If necessary, children with siblings in grades 5-12 will

participate in an initial sibling lottery for any available spaces

to bring the sibling total to fifty percent of the Kindergarten

enrollment.

o Those children with siblings in the program who are

not guaranteed admission as a sibling will then be

included in the lottery, if needed, based on the

preferential enrollment procedures listed below.

o Siblings who are not guaranteed admission as a

sibling and do not gain entrance into the program

through the District Resident lottery, will be granted

admission to the program by adding the number of

spots in the language group necessary to

accommodate the number of siblings who have not

been entered in by lottery.

In District Resident

Priority is next given to students who reside inside the

Bellevue School District and who do not have siblings in the

Mandarin Dual Language Program.


30

Out-of-district children of District employees will be allowed

to participate in the lottery on the same basis as resident

children.

Out of District Resident

Out of district students will be placed on the out of district

wait list by dominant language background and be selected

by a lottery system after the entire in-district wait list has

been placed in program.

Out of district students with siblings in the program will be

placed at the top of the out of district wait list.

Registration materials must be submitted by the deadline. The

deadline will be decided upon annually, and displayed on the district

website, the school website and posted in the school office.

Once a student has accepted placement in the Dual Language

program their names will be removed from any other wait list (Puesta

del Sol, Spanish Dual Language) and cannot be placed back on the

wait list until the following year. If the student does not accept the

placement offered at the Dual Language program, their names will

be removed from the list and their placement given to the next

student on the wait list.

Additional Wait List Information

If an in district resident moves out of the district while on the wait

list, s/he is moved to the bottom of the out of district wait list. If an

out of district resident or an out of district resident with a sibling in

the program moves in to the district while on the wait list, s/he is

moved to the bottom of the in-district wait list.

HARASSMENT/WEAPONS/DRUG POLICY

School administration and staff have an obligation to all Jing Mei

students to keep them safe and able to focus solely on their learning.

Jing Mei Elementary is a harassment free, weapons free, and drug

free zone!


31

“Harassment” is defined as a consistent and persistent verbal or

physical assault that makes the receiver in any way feel

uncomfortable, ostracized, or threatened. Jing Mei Elementary

School has a very clear policy against any form of harassment,

whether it is physical or verbal, student or teacher directed. There is

no tolerance for harassing behavior, and students or adults engaging

in harassment can receive the severest of consequences, including

suspension and expulsion and/or police involvement.

A “weapon” is any instrument that threatens, or appears to threaten,

the safety of the school community. Any student with an object

resembling a knife, gun, or other possibly dangerous instrument,

regardless of the object’s actual ability to cause harm or the intent of

the bearer of such an object, can receive the severest of

consequences, including police contact, suspension and expulsion.

HOMEWORK Jing Mei teachers believe in the value of homework. Through

homework, students extend their learning, practice valuable skills

and participate in family-team efforts. Homework helps to develop a sense of responsibility in the students and prepares the students to

be accountable in their future world. Homework will have a purpose

and connection to the classroom program. Complete and detailed

information regarding grade-level homework expectations will be

delivered by your child’s classroom teacher and will be clarified by

the teachers at Curriculum Night.

LOST AND FOUND

Lost and Found is located in the East Undercover Area behind the

Cafeteria. Unclaimed items from the Lost and Found are donated to

charity at the end of each month.

LUNCH

Nutritious hot lunches will be available for purchase every day for all

students, or students may bring a lunch from home. Our


32

computerized lunch accounting system enables students to pay in

advance.

Lunch Money Deposits:

Option 1: The Bellevue School District uses PayPAMS for

online payments for school meals. There is no charge for

parents to sign up with PayPAMS in order to check their

student’s balances and/or recent purchases. There will be a

$1.95 fee for each transaction when adding money to your

students account in PayPAMS. If you wish to avoid paying

fees you can pay with check or cash at your school.

Option 2: Lunch money is also accepted in the Office.

Payment envelopes are available in the Office. Please label

them with Student’s name, grade, teacher, PIN #, and

amount to be deposited.

Please be sure to send money immediately as we are unable

to extend credit. While no school lunch will be served to

children with inadequate funds, no child will go hungry.

Free/reduced Lunch Forms are available in the Office for

those qualifying for financial assistance.

Meal prices:

Elementary Lunch - $3.00 Milk a la carte - $.50

Adults - $4.00

*Reduced Lunch - $.40

(Inquire about reduced lunch application in the school

office.)

MAP

A school map is posted in the office door. Please contact, or visit,

the front office and school website for more information.


33

MEDICATIONS

Whenever possible, parents and physicians are urged to design a

schedule for administering medication before or after school hours.

If this is not possible, parents must come to the Office to complete

an Authorization to Administer Medication Form. This authorization

is good for the current school year only. Unused medication must be

collected from the school at the end of the prescribed period or end

of the school year, whichever is sooner. Bellevue School District

policy states that all medications must come to the Office, not in the

classroom or student’s backpack, in the original container labeled by

the pharmacy or physician with the medication name, the dosage to

be taken, frequency of administration, and name of physician.

NETWORK ACCESS

The District expects students to exercise good judgment and use

network resources in an appropriate manner. All use of the network

must support education and research and be consistent with the

mission of the District. Use of the electronic resources provided by

the District is an expectation and privilege. In order to maintain the

privilege, students agree to learn and comply with all of the

provisions included in BSD School Board Procedure 2022. Proper use

of network access and technology will be reviewed with all students

throughout the year.

PARENTS AS VIBES VOLUNTEERS

Parents may volunteer to mentor and tutor students other than their

own. In this case, they are considered VIBES (Volunteers in the

Bellevue Education System) volunteers. Additional requirements

include:

1. One-time attendance at VIBES Volunteer Orientation

2. Two reference checks (conducted by the VIBES office)

PARENT VOLUNTEERS ON CAMPUS

All parent volunteers with regular access to students must complete

and submit a volunteer application. Applications are available at our

Jing Mei Office or any Bellevue school. Please complete and return


34

the application to your child's school. All applicants must provide a

copy of valid photo identification when returning the application. All

volunteers must pass the screening process and attend a training

session by school administrator BEFORE volunteering in our school

and/or attending any field trips.

PARKING

Please park in the visitor parking lot located on the Northeast side of

the building. If you need to park on a side street, please use the

designated crosswalks and adhere to all safety rules. Parking is also

available near the upper gravel area next to the visitor parking. See

Arrival/Dismissal or Drop Off/Pick Up sections for more information.

PETS

Students are not allowed to bring pets to school or onto school

grounds. If a pet does follow a student to school, every effort will be

made to contact the owner, if known.

PHOTOGRAPHS AND/OR VIDEO

For liability and privacy purposes, photographing and videotaping of

students at school during school hours or school sponsored events,

is not allowed without permission from the parent/guardian as well

as the Principal.

Occasionally, your student might be included on videotapes and/or

in photographs used for appropriate district-authorized purposes

possibly outside the district. Permission forms have been sent home

and are available in the office for you to sign only if you do not want

your child included in these videotapes or photographs. Examples of

uses are:

show the Bellevue community what we do in our school

use for broadcast media and newspaper articles

include in the Annual School Performance Report

Bellevue Schools Foundation programs

televise through the City of Bellevue Cable TV station

make presentations to other audiences at workshops


35

other appropriate district-authorized purposes

PLAYGROUND SUPERVISION

School staff supervises the play areas during the mid-day recess. The

play areas are NOT supervised before or after school and students

are not to play while unsupervised. Students are to lineup in a single

line inside the East Undercover Area between 8:45-8:55AM. Please

note: The Jing Mei Early Learning Program leases our playground for

their after school program and due to liability issues the program may

not share the playground with other children. When the after school

program is using this space, please choose another area for your

child(ren) to play.

PTSA (Parent Teacher Student Association)

Jing Mei’s Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) is officially

named Bellevue Mandarin Dual Language PTSA (BMDL-PTSA). It is a

major program facilitator and financial resource for Jing Mei

Elementary students and support to staff. Some educational

programs, most classroom support, all social activities and all after-

school enrichment programs would not exist without the support of

our PTSA. Membership in BMDL-PTSA shows your support for Jing

Mei Elementary and our students. You can join BMDL- PTSA in the

front office of the school or check out Jing Mei’s PTSA website for

PTSA events, membership and additional information at


RECESS

At the beginning of the year, each student is taught the Jing Mei

recess expectations. Each student is responsible for safe and fair play

while at recess, as well as expected to stay within the playground

boundaries. Please help your child to dress appropriately for

Washington recess weather….rain! Warm rain jackets and

weather-sturdy shoes are recommended. Rainy day recess will only

occur during the harshest of weather conditions. When rainy day

recess does take place, students will be offered indoor and/or

covered area alternatives to play in with adult supervision.



36

SCHOOL CLOSURES

Do you know where you can find updated school closure

information? Below is a list of resources for you to access in order to

plan for how your child will get to/from school, in the event school is

delayed.

www.bsd405.org

BSD Newsline 425-456-4111

Local TV / Radio Stations

SHARING IN THE CLASSROOM, MONEY AND VALUABLES

Students come to school to learn and therefore should leave any

items which may distract learning at home. Toys, trading cards,

electronic games, stuffed animals, money, and other personal items

of value need to remain at home so they are not misplaced, lost, or

broken. These items should not be brought on the bus either. If a

child wishes to bring a special item to share with the class, he or she

must first get permission from the teacher.

SNACKS AT SCHOOL

Students may bring healthy snacks to eat prior to/or after lunchtime,

as long as they are in compliance with BSD School Board Anaphylaxis

Prevention Procedure 3420. Your child’s classroom teacher can give

you more information about snack time as each classroom handles

snack a little differently, in consideration of student safety. Check

with your child’s teacher to see if he/she would appreciate a

donation and to ensure the donation would not interfere with a

child’s food allergy.

STUDENT PLACEMENT

One of the most important responsibilities of the staff each year is to

assign students to classes for the next school year. The goal of

student placement is that each student be placed in a positive

learning environment. Many factors are considered when placing

students. Academic strengths and needs, social and emotional

http://www.schoolreport.org/schoolDetail.php?schoolId=17

http://www.bsd405.org/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=NabzPO_6krs%3d&tabid=1302&portalid=0&mid=14029

37

characteristics, as well as parental input are thoughtfully considered.

Should a parent feel that a child’s placement is inappropriate; a

request in writing should be made to the Principal using the

“Request for Change of Placement” form found in the Office.

Change of classroom placement during the school year is rare.

Unless considered a safety concern, no change of placement will

happen during the first two weeks of school.

STUDENT PROGRESS REPORTS

The chief purpose of reporting student progress to parents is to

provide the information necessary for a solid working relationship

between school and the home in guidance of the student. Parents

will be kept informed about the growth and progress of their

children in all aspects of school curriculum, including observed

student behaviors in the intellectual, emotional, physical and social

development areas. Written progress reports will be sent during

three reporting periods: December, March, and June.

TELEPHONES/MESSAGES

If absolutely necessary, with teacher permission and supervision,

students may call home at appropriate times. Students may also be

directed by teachers to call home in order to report their own school

successes and areas for growth. The telephone in the Office is also

available for visitors to the building.

Messages to students must be telephoned to the office by 2:00 pm

to allow adequate time for delivery. Please limit these, as every call

to a classroom interrupts valuable teaching time.

TOYS

Toys are not allowed at school, unless permission has been arranged

with your child’s teacher. Should a child bring a toy/item from home

without their teacher’s permission:

1. The toy/item will be confiscated and picked up at the office

2. The toy/item will be held for parent/guardian pick-up


38

VOLUNTEERING

All volunteers with regular access to students must complete and

submit a volunteer application. Applications are available at our Jing

Mei Office or any Bellevue school. Please complete and return the

application to the school where you wish to volunteer. All applicants

must provide a copy of valid photo identification when returning the

application. All volunteers must pass the screening process and

attend a training session by school administrator BEFORE

volunteering in our school and/or attending any field trips.

VISITATION AT SCHOOL

Parents are welcome to visit their child’s classroom or any other

activity on the school grounds, such as special programs and

assemblies. Please contact the teacher and/or principal in advance if

you wish to observe or visit a class. On-going observations of a

classroom can cause disruption to the regular school day, therefore

the principal reserves the right to limit the number of observations

requested by a parent, as necessary. As an added measure of safety,

we have implemented a sign-in system for all visitors and volunteers.

If you come to the school to visit or volunteer, please stop by the

office first and sign in. We will ask you to wear a badge/sticker that

identifies you as a visitor or volunteer. We truly appreciate your

support at Jing Mei and want you to feel welcome here while

realizing that the safety of our students is a high priority for us.

If you are bringing an item to school for your child, please leave it in

the Office and your child will be called to the Office to pick it up. Do

not deliver it to the classroom. If you are a PTSA member who

volunteers on a regular basis, you will be given a permanent badge

to wear while on campus, but will still need to sign in/out at the main

office. For more information, please visit Board Policies 4200 and

Procedures 4200P.

STUDENT BEHAVIOR

The basis of our behavior plan at Jing Mei Elementary is a desire for

all children to grow and learn positive social skills while accepting

responsibility for their actions. During the 2015-2016 we will be

continuing our education of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and

increasing our use of a Positive Behavioral Intervention and Support

(PBIS) Systems.

What is Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)?

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is the process of acquiring the

skills to recognize and manage emotions, develop caring and

concern for others, establish positive relationships, make responsible

decisions, and handle challenging situations effectively. SEL provides

schools with an evidence-based framework for preventing problems

and promoting students’ well-being and success. The SEL framework

is an integrated approach involving every student, the entire staff,

the family, and the community.

Effective SEL addresses the fundamental conditions for learning and

fosters students’ capacity to learn. Best practice includes classroom

teachers modeling evidence-based explicit social emotional skills

instruction in a safe, caring, supportive, participatory learning

environment. SEL is fundamental to children’s healthy development

and enables schools to educate students to be good problem solvers

and caring, responsible, engaged citizens. A major review of SEL

research provides strong evidence that building social and emotional

skills improves student attitudes, behaviors, and academic

performance. At Jing Mei and in the Bellevue School District, we have

partnered with the University of Washington and have also been

consulting with www.casel.org for evidence-based programs that

match our needs and characteristics.

What is Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS)?

Positive Behavioral and Interventions Supports (PBIS) is a framework

for providing a range of systemic and individualized strategies for


40

achieving important academic and behavior outcomes while

preventing problem behaviors. Schools that apply PBIS establish

clear school wide expectations for behavior which are taught,

modeled and reinforced by all staff.

Bellevue School District Policy 3207 strictly prohibits harassment,

intimidation and bullying. This policy and procedure (p/p) applies to

all school district employees, students, parents/guardians, volunteers,

patrons, and school Board members including conduct between

students. A copy of the district’s p/p is available on the district’s

website (www.bsd405.org) and available in each school. Every effort

will be made to provide to the student and/or parent/guardian a

copy of the district’s p/p in their predominant language, upon

request by the student and/or his/her parent/guardian.

applications, or resources licensed to the District. The District

reserves the right to prioritize the use of, and access to, the network.

Substance Abuse Program (Policy 2121) and 2121 Procedure

While the primary obligation to seek assistance rests with the

student and his/her parent(s)/guardian(s), school staff will work with

the home and community to develop and implement a

comprehensive prevention and intervention program. The

superintendent will seek the support, cooperation and coordination

of public and private agencies through formation of an advisory

committee, including representatives from the instructional staff,

students, parents, state and local law enforcement staff and the

county coordinator of alcohol and drug treatment or a

representative of a treatment provider.

Attendance- Excused and Unexcused Absences (Policy 3122) and

3122 Procedure

Regular school attendance is necessary for mastery of the

educational program provided to students of the district. Students at

times may appropriately be absent from class. Included in the

complete policy are the principles which govern the development

and administration of attendance procedures within the district.

Prohibition of Harassment, Intimidation and Bullying (Policy 3207)

and 3207 Procedure

The board is committed to a safe and civil educational environment

for all students, employees, parents/legal guardians, volunteers and

community members that is free from harassment, intimidation or

bullying. “Harassment, intimidation or bullying” means any

intentionally written message or image — including those that are

electronically transmitted — verbal, or physical act, including but not

limited to one shown to be motivated by race, color, religion,

ancestry, national origin, gender, sexual orientation including gender

intimidating or threatening educational environment; or

D. Has the effect of substantially disrupting the orderly

Student Conduct (Policy 3240)

The board acknowledges that conduct and behavior is closely

associated with learning. An effective instructional program requires

a safe and orderly school environment. The board requires that each

student adhere to the rules of conduct and submit to corrective

action taken as a result of conduct violations. The rules of conduct

are applicable during the school day as well as during any school

activity conducted on or off campus. Special rules are also applicable

while riding on a school bus.

Students are expected to:

A. Conform to reasonable standards of acceptable behavior;

B. Respect the rights, person and property of others;

C. Preserve the degree of order necessary for a positive climate

for learning; and

D. Submit to the authority of staff and respond accordingly.

Child Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation Prevention (Policy 3421)

Staff who have knowledge or reasonable cause to believe that a

student has been a victim of child abuse, neglect or exploitation by

any person, adult or another child, must report such misconduct, or

cause a report to be made, within 48 hours of the suspicion to CPS

and/or the police. Under state law, staff members are free from

liability for good-faith reporting of suspected abuse, neglect or

exploitation, and may be criminally liable for failure to report where

there is reasonable cause to believe that such misconduct has

occurred. Staff need not verify that a child has in fact been abused,

neglected or exploited. Any conditions or information that may
