Student Information Requests/Changes - Information requests/changes must be done in person in the front office.  You will need proof of identification with you at the time of the request as well.  Due to security issues, we are unable to give out any student information or make any changes via email or over the phone.

 Address Changes - cannot be made without proof of residence.  One of the following documents is required to change your address.  Please do not ask us to change your bus without first providing one of these documents if you have moved.

•             Electric bill, water bill, cable bill or land line telephone bill

•             Signed lease agreement

•             Statement from landlord on their letterhead verifying occupancy

•             Homestead exemption card

            If you are building a house – mortgage acceptance letter including: name, loan number, property address and a letter from the builder with an expected completion date.  The completion date and the date the child will start attending school must be within a sensible time period.

            If you are buying a house – settlement statement or mortgage acceptance letter including:  name, loan number, property address and closing date.

            We do not accept: sales contracts, commitment letters, or truth in lending statements.

            If living with relatives or friends – a letter from them listing your name and the names of your children, stating that you are residing at their address and a copy of one of the documents listed above to verify their address.

            WE DO NOT ACCEPT driver’s license, or cell phone bills, bank statements, checkbooks, child support checks, pay stubs or mortgage coupon/payment books as proof of residence.

 

Student Withdrawals - Pelican Elementary would like a 48 hour (2 day) notice for withdrawing students out of county. The notice is preferred in writing or in person at the school office so that identification may be verified and a withdrawal form may be signed.  This notice provides the teachers and office staff time to process the withdrawal and obtain the proper paperwork for you to present to your next school.  Your cooperation in this matter is very much appreciated.  Thank you.

Afternoon Dismissal - Academics continue at Pelican until afternoon dismissal and therefore we must request that you do not arrive early to pick up your child unless it is an emergency. Picking students up early is disruptive to the class and the teacher. We would also appreciate you completing your cell phone calls prior to entering the office.  Once you have completed your call, we would be happy to assist you in any way we can.

Visitors/Volunteers - All visitors and volunteers MUST sign in and sign out at the main office each time they come to Pelican.  All volunteers MUST have an updated volunteer application on file along with a copy of their driver’s license.
