Lingelbach's Uniform Policy
The School District of Philadelphia has instituted a School Uniform Policy for all students in Kindergarten through Grade 12. Students are required to be dressed in uniforms, unless otherwise instructed.
Lingelbach School Uniform for BOTH boys and girls:
- Khaki pants
- Blue shirts
- Girls may also wear khaki skirts or jumpers
- All shirts must have a collar
Lingelbach Gym Uniform:
- Gray sweatpants or shorts and a gray shirt
- Sneakers and a gym uniform MUST be worn on gym days or the students will not be able to participate (this will affect the student’s gym grade).
- Students should come to school dressed in their gym uniform since they will not be allowed to change at school.
Attendance and Punctuality
The policy of the School District requires that school-aged students enrolled in the schools of this District to attend school regularly, on time, and for the whole school day in accordance with the laws of the State of Pennsylvania.
The educational program offered by this District is based upon the presence of the student and requires continuity of instruction and classroom participation.
A note signed by a parent/caregiver must be brought to school after each absence, indicating the dates and reasons for the absence. Absences will be coded "unexcused" if a note is not provided by the parent or caregiver.
When a pupil is absent for three days due to illness, a written doctor's note documenting the medical necessity for the absence must be brought to school unless the principal has verified the legitimacy of the absence through other means. When possible, a parent is to notify the school if a pupil is to be absent for several days.
Every effort should be made to make-up work missed as a result of illness or other unexcused absence.
Work missed because of absence can lower academic marks. Students are responsible for making up work missed as a result of suspension or other disciplinary action.
Unexcused lateness which causes a student to miss all or a substantial part of the day's instructional time may be coded as an unexcused absence.
School Opening Procedures
The school day begins at 8:30 AM for all students. Students line up at 8:20 AM and are escorted into the building by their teachers at 8:30 AM. Students are considered late if they arrive after 8:45 a.m. and should report to the desk outside the main office for a late slip. Please call the school to inform us about absences lasting three or more days.
