One
of
the
differences
between

US
compared
to
other
countries,
is
that

is
compulsory..
A
law
was
recently
approved
that
extends
from
16
to
18
years
the
age
of

require
some
form
of
uniform
for
PE
or
gym
classes.
Some
schools
require
students
to

buy
their
uniform
and
others

such
as

county

breakfast
and

daily
for
students,
students,
either

B
A
Communication
with
parents,
it
is
extremely
important
that
you
always
provide
the
your
child's
school,
your
updated
contact
information.
If
your
phone
number
changes
and
you
do
not
inform
the
school,
it
will
be
very
difficult
to
reach
you
if
your
child
is
sick
or
in
an
emergency.
If
your
address
changes,
please
note
that
The
change
will
not
be
made
in
the
district
database
until
you
provide
the
school
with
a
copy
of
the
lease,,
mortgage,,
deed
or
deed.
If
you
need
to
contact
someone
at
your
child's
school
in
a
language
other
than
English,
there
are
several
options..
A
A
Cps
has
a
department
that
coordinates
interpreters
by
the
hour
in
a
dozen
languages
each
school
can
request
an
interpreter,
but
it
must
be
done
with
a
few
days
in
advance
if
you
need
to
communicate
with
someone
immediately,
school
staff
can
use
a
telephone
interpreting
system
called
language
link.
If
you
are
not
comfortable
using
this
service,
you
can
carry
an
ay
speak
card,
which
indicates
your
language
and
the
need
to
communicate
via
an
interpreter.
A
One
of
the
main
ways
schools
use
to
communicate
with
parents
is
through
a
system
called
connected.
This
is
a
system
that
provides
information
to
parents
about
the
school
via
automated
voice
messages,
text,
messages
and
emails.
It
is
important
that
you
listen
to
these
messages
carefully,
as
they
often
contain
information
about
early
dismissals,,
inclement
weather
and
other
times.
Sometimes.
These
messages
are
sent
in
languages
other
than
English.
You
can
call
your
bilingual
facilitator.
If
you
do
not
understand
the
message
or
call
the
school.
and
ask
for
clarification
with
the
help
of

may
be
wondering
what
to
teach
my
child,
what
classes
to
take
if

other
than
English.
He

students
activities
c

and
curricular
programs
that
meet
their
specific
interests
and
intellectual
needs,
for
example,.
Some
programs
focus
on
health,
others
on

or
even
science
and
engineering,.
Many
of
these
programs
are
known
as

and
students
apply
to
the
programs
when
they
are

and
eighth

each

In

there
are
informational
sections
about
these
programs.
There
are
many
more
options
when
it
comes
to
elective
programs
than
those
presented
here.
B
Safety
rules
and
school
order.
Let's
talk
a
little
about
the
rules.
The
most
important
rule
is
that
weapons,
alcohol
and
drugs
are
prohibited
at
bus
stops
on
the
school
bus
in
the
school
building
and
in
any
activity
related
to
the
school
in
all
secondary
schools.
There
is
an
agent's
office
from
the
police
called
school
resource
officers
who
are
in
charge
of
ensuring
the
safety
and
tranquility
of
the
school
environment.
Ask
the
principal
of
your
school.
What
is
the
policy
regarding
electronic
devices
in
schools?
B
It
is
also
important
to
know
that
anar
and
all
county
public
schools
is
committed
to
providing
students
with
an
orderly
learning
environment
that
is
free
from
bullying
and
cyberbullying,
bullying
and
intimidation,
hazing
or
practical,
jokes
and
conduct
Bias-Motivated
Behaviors
may
be
related
to
national
origin
and
race,
disability,,
sexual
orientation,,
religion,
or
gender,.
There
are
measures
to
address
any
of
these
types
of
action
which
affect
learning.
If
you
are
aware
that
your
child
is
being
bullied,
accused
contact,
the
teacher
or
school
counselor
or
administrator.
A
And
health
and
medical
issues,
if
your
child
must
take
medication
regularly
during
the
school
day,
speak
with
the
school
nurse
parents
and
doctors
should
complete
Parent,
Request
Form
for
Administration
of
Medication
at
School
pm,
so
that
medication
can
be
administered
to
the
student.
It
is
also
a
good
idea
to
notify
the
nursing
staff
of
any
health
concerns
that
concern
your
child,
such
as
allergies,
asthma
or
diabetes.
Please
remember
that
if
your
child
is
absent
from
school
due
to
illness
or
medical
appointments,
you
must
bring
a
note
of
this
to
the
school.
B
Family
and
community
engagement
in
some
countries,
it
is
considered
an
absence
of
respect
if
parents
visit
their
children's
school
or
ask
questions
of
teachers
here
in
the
usa.
On
the
contrary,
parents
are
welcome
and
are
encouraged
to
visit
their
child's
school
and
to
communicate
regularly
with
the
teacher,,
which
consists
of
a
brief
conversation
between
you
and
the
teacher
with
the
help
of
an
interpreter.
If
necessary.
B
teacher
will
update
you
on
your
child's
progress
and
is
an
opportunity
to
meet
the
teacher
and
ask
questions
in
addition
to
these
scheduled
meetings,
parents
or
guardians
can
request
a
meeting
with
the
teacher
at
any
time.
Another
way
to
get
involved
is
by
going
through
the
backpack
or
the
folder,
where
you
will
find
information.
Many
schools
prepare
and
send
home
newsletters
and
brochures
with
information
about
what
is
happening
in
the
school
and
community.

Some
of
these
