Unami Parent Survival Guide
   
  Office hours are 7:15 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.  
   
  Parents should call school regarding absences, lateness, doctor's appointments, etc.  Call 267-893-3420 and leave a message the night before or early in the morning.  Any time a student arrives to school late, they must bring a parent note in with them explaining why they are late.  Any late arrival without a note will become unexcused and may result in detention.  
   
  After 7:34 a.m., a student is tardy.  Unlawful tardiness (missed bus, overslept, etc.) is an unacceptable excuse.  After the third unlawful tardiness, the student receives a one-hour administrative detention.  Each unlawful tardiness thereafter will also result in an administrative detention.  
   
  Whenever a student needs to leave school before 2:30, they must bring a note from a parent to the main office first thing upon arriving at school.  They will receive a pass to leave class, which must be turned into the office when they sign out before being dismissed for their appointment.  A parent does not need to come into school if the student has a note.  However, if there is not a note, the parent MUST come into school with a note before the student is allowed to leave the building.
   
  Homework may be requested after the student has missed 3 consecutive instructional days (snow days and weekends do NOT count).  If the request is phoned in by 9:00 a.m., it will be available for a parent to pick-up in the main office at 3:30 p.m. the day it is asked for.  Requests made after 9:00 a.m., will not be available until the next day.  If requested homework is not picked up, it may not be gathered in the future.  
   
  Many teachers now post the day's work on e-notes on the Unami website.  If your child has not been out for 3 days or if a particular teacher did not collect work for them, please check e-notes.  Students should also have a study-buddy in each class to call to find out what assignments are missed.  
   
  In accordance with a new safety policy enacted by Central Bucks Transportation, bus passes will no longer be approved. Only in an extreme will requests for alternate transportation be granted.
   
  Students must use the pay phone to make calls.  Calls made to cell phones have an extra charge.  Therefore, it is strongly suggested that students have adequate change or a phone calling card.  Cell phones are not permitted in school.  
   
  Lost and found items are held in the nurse's office or on a rack in main hall.  If items are identifiable, they will be returned to students.  If not, students and parents are urged to check lost and found.  After several weeks, items are donated to charitable organizations.  
   
  Drop-off items (lunches, homework, sports gear, etc.) are held in the main office.  We do not call students out of class to claim them.  They may check the office between classes, before and after lunch. To avoid class disruptions, students will not be called down individually for forgotten items.  
   
  Students involved in sports will receive pertinent information from coaches.  Announcements are made regarding changes in schedules for games, practices, etc. as provided by the appropriate coach.  
   
 

Physical forms are available in the main office and online.   They are necessary for any student who wishes to participate in a sport.
