ATTENDANCE

If your child is going to be absent or late for school for any reason, please contact the office. Please be specific when calling your child in. If it is an illness we do need to know all the symptoms the child is having as well as the best number to reach you at if we have any further questions. If there is a question on if a student should be at school or not, you may also call the office or school nurse.

Unexcused and/or Tardy

Absences are considered "unexcused" if we do not hear from a parent/guardian by 9 am.  Students who are absent from school more than 10 minutes of any part of the day without a proper excuse shall be recorded as unexcused.  A student who is absent less than 10 minutes of a day shall be recorded as tardy. To avoid unnecessary Unexcused absents, please give us a call or send and email to the secretary, attendance secretary or your students teacher.

Appointments/Early Pick-ups

The time a student enters or leaves the building will be documented, and the system will calculate the absence accordingly and uniformly across the district.  Please keep this in mind as you schedule appointments for your children. It is always best to schedule appointments during non-school hours.  Students are expected to be in class from 7:45 to 2:45 daily. If for any reason a student needs to leave early for an appointment, it is super important that a phone call or email is sent to the school. When a students caring adult comes to pick up we will have either called op we do need at least 1 hours notice, to allow time to contact a students classroom.

Cannot Reach us directly?

If you are unable to speak to us directly, please leave a message on the voice mail system. Be specific about who you are calling for, and why, including all symptoms if student is ill.

VISITOR PROTOCOLS

When entering our school, you will notice we have a brand new office. Our office is now located to the right after you enter the first set of double doors. When you arrive please ring our bell and we will answer and let you through the doors as needed. Visitors who will be leaving the office and entering the rest of the school will need to sign in on our Visitor Kiosk and receive a sticker Badge. After visitors are finished and ready to leave they can then sign out the same way.

MESSAGE FROM THE NURSE 

Read Families- We could use your help! The Health Office is greatly in need of clothing changes for our students here. Through past donations from staff and families, we have been able to supply extra socks, undergarments, pants, t-shirts and sweatshirts to those students who may need a change during the school day, for various reasons. Unfortunately, we are running very low on pants. If you happen to do a closet clean out and are willing to part with elementary school-sized student pants, we would be so grateful!!!

We are also requesting that our families send clothing in with your student to bring to store in their classroom. This will help limit our students need to go see the nurse. Students often spill things, play in puddles and even have accidents. With a change of clothes in their backpack or classroom they have the ability to change right away.

THANK YOU in advance!!!
