As a Parent/Guardian, I understand by signing my digital signature below that we need to complete the Medication & Treatment Authorization form, which is available on our school website, under "Forms & Doc's" if your student must take medication during school hours and it cannot be given at home. Baltic School District requires this form be completed by the parent for over-the-counter medications and both parent and physician for prescription drugs before administering any medication. Medication must be delivered directly to the school Administrative office personnel by the parent/Guardian or responsible adult in the original pharmacy or manufacturer's container. For your child's safety and the safety of other children, students are not allowed to carry medication to/at school unless prior authorization has been given by the school. Renewal is required at the beginning of each school year.

Written parental permission is required before a student (must be in 11th & 12th Grade). A signature indicates that you are aware that your child will be leaving school grounds during the open block(s) in their schedule. You need to also be aware that busses will be running at their normal times, and your child(ren) must provide their own transportation home if they decide to leave school before the busses. I understand by signing below I'm giving my student(s) leave at the end of the day.

The Parent/Student Handbooks (both Elementary & Secondary) are available on the school website at www.balticschool.org, under the Students tab. Hard copies of this handbook will only be distributed to 6th Grade students and any students new to the district. Students who attended Baltic School the previous year will only receive information describing changes to the handbook from the previous year, or they may request a hard copy of the handbook.

For changes in the Baltic Elementary or Secondary Parent/Student Handbooks for the 2019-20 school year, please go to our school website at www.balticschool.org. You can find this on our Home Page, under the tab "School-> Registration, or the tab called "Forms & Docs" for handbook changes. The complete Student Handbook is also available under "Forms & Docs".

New Students and Parents Only – Please Read and Sign Here:

As a new student/family to the Baltic School District, I have received a copy of the Parent/Student Handbook and have read the expectations and guidelines for the Baltic School District as outlined in the Parent/Student Handbook. As a continuing student/family to the Baltic School District, I understand the Parent/Student Handbook is available on the school website or I may request a hard copy. Please sign below to acknowledge you have read and approved the Parent/Student Handbook and any changes/deletions for 2019-20.

The Baltic School District is asking families who desire school bus transportation for the school year to complete the applicable information below. For out-of-town families in most situations, the bus will make individual stops. For out-of-town housing developments or grouped housing, pick-up and drop-off points may be established.

For in-town families, pick-up and drop-off points will be established depending upon the location of families requesting transportation. There will be no pick-up or drop-off points within 3 blocks of school. It will most likely be necessary for in-town students to walk 1-2 blocks to the pick-up and/or drop-off point.

Because of overcrowding on in-town busses, it has become necessary to restrict the age of students who may access in-town bussing. Please be advised that in-town bussing is limited to PK-6th grades with students in grades 7-12 not eligible to ride in-town busses. It is very important that in-town families requesting bus service return this form so that pick-up and drop-off points can be established.

Please complete the information below by August 13th. Approximately one week prior to the first day of school, out-of-town families will be informed of approximate pick-up and drop-off times, and in-town families will be notified of the location of pick-up and drop-off points with approximate pick-up and drop-off times.
