Before and After School Program (BASP)

The Solon Community School District continues to offer quality programs for its families and students. The SCSD Before and After School Program is an extension of the district operating as a non-profit organization. The Lakeview Care for Kids program is designed to serve children in grades PreK-4 and the Middle School program is intended for children in grades 5-8.

Admission Policy

Nutrition Program

Children need healthy meals to learn. Solon Community Schools offers healthy meals every school day. At Lakeview Elementary and Solon Middle School, breakfast is $1.35 and lunch is $2.35. At Solon High School, breakfast is $1.35 and lunch is $2.50. Your child(ren) may qualify for free meals or for reduced price meals. Reduced price is $.30 for breakfast and $.40 for lunch.

School Dining System

School Dining System is used for obtaining lunch account information. The same username and password is used to view all of your students' purchases and deposits into lunch accounts. School Dining System can be accessed at solon.is-usa.com. Please e-mail Kelly Crossley to obtain a username and password.

RevTrak

RevTrak is used for making payments into your students' lunch accounts. School Dining System will be updated after payments are made using this online system. RevTrak can be accessed at solon.revtrak.net/tek9.asp. Please e-mail Brooke Robinson to obtain a username and password.

You can still make lunch payments by sending money to school with your student, mailing it directly to the Nutrition Office:

Attn: Kelly Crossley
600 West 5th Street
Solon, IA 52333

Please always write your students' full names on checks or cash payments so we know for sure which account it goes into.

School Nurse

School nursing is a specialized practice of professional nursing that advances the well being, academic success, and life-long achievement of students. To that end, school nurses facilitate positive student responses to normal development; promote health and safety; intervene with actual and potential health problems; provide case management services; and actively collaborate with others to build student and family capacity for adaptation, self management, self advocacy, and learning." (Adopted at the NASN Board of Directors meeting, June 1999.)

Illness Reminders

Your child needs to be free of fever (without the aide of fever reducing medications), vomiting and diarrhea for 24 hours before returning to school.

If your child is diagnosed with a bacterial infection that requires antibiotics, then he/she will need to be on the antibiotics for a full 24 hours before returning to school.

If your child needs to bring medication to school, then the medication needs to be in the manufactures container or the pharmacy bottle. Medication that is in envelopes, plastic bags, or containers that are not the original will not be dispensed at school.

If your child has a prescription that will need to be given at school, then let the pharmacy know.  The pharmacist will be glad to give you a prescription bottle for school.

Prescription Drug Abuse

In response to concerns related to an increasing misuse of certain prescription and over-the-counter medications by youth, the Governor's Office of Drug Control Policy and the Iowa Pharmacy Association have developed an educational brochure intended for parents and children. Copies of the brochure are available in each school counseling office.

Please direct questions of concerns related to the brochure to Kate Puetz at the Iowa Pharmacy Association (515-270-0713) or Dennis Wiggins at the Governor's Office of Drug Control Policy (515-242-6391).

Transportation

Hard Surface Only Routes

In establishing Hard Surface Roads Only routes, the district has designed pick-up points along the safer hard surface roads where parents can meet the buses. Specific times for pick-up at specific locations have been identified, and while buses may arrive early at some of these locations, they will not leave before the designated time.

Please note that if the SCSD does run Hard Surface Roads Only routes in the morning, we will run the same routes in the afternoon. Drivers are instructed not to drop off students who have a distance to walk unless there is a family designated adult to pick them up. The buses will stay at the drop off location until the designated time, then proceed on with the student remaining safely on the bus.
