Student and site safety is a priority so we have two very important procedures regarding checking in and out of school.
ALL visitors need to sign in at the main office and receive a visitor pass no matter the nature or duration of the visit.
Students checking out of school for appointments or any reason during the school day must be released to an adult who is on file as an approved contact.
To report a student’s illness you can call the Attendance office at 574-1654 on the day of the illness or send a note with your student’s name, the date of the absence, your name, and a phone number where we can contact you. For absences not relating to illness or medical appointments there is a procedure for "personal" absences. These require prior notification and approval. For more information regarding this and other attendance procedures, please call us.
To ensure prompt and consistent communication with parents we rely on families to provide the school with updated phone numbers and addresses as changes are made.
