The following school policies are published here at the request of school secretary Jane Petrich:
Late arrival policy:
If a student arrives after 8:45 they must come to the office to sign in, and get an admit to class slip. If the student is late for an unexcused reason (oversleeping, missing the bus etc), the student will be given a warning the first time. After that, the student will be required to forfeit a portion of their morning recess to make up the time/work missed. This will be “enforced” on a classroom-by-classroom basis. Teachers will let parents know how their requirements.
Early dismissal policy:
If you need to pick your child up before the end of the day, please send a note to alert the teacher. Then, when the you arrive at school, come to the office to sign out your child. The office will call the appropriate class and have the child sent to the office to meet you.
Going home with a friend?
If your child is going home with a friend we need that in writing – if they are being picked up by another parent we need to know who it will be. If they are going on a bus with a friend they need to bring the note to the office and get a Green Card which tells the driver which bus they are riding and who to let them off with. We cannot accept phone calls as the notes must be kept on file for 7 years!
Medication at school
Students are not allowed to carry any kind of medication at school. If they ever need to take meds during the school day the medicine must come to school in the prescription container with their name and dose instructions and a form signed by the parent and doctor. This includes over the counter medication. Forms are available from the nurse or main office
Sick, Appointment, Emergency?
If your student is going to be late or absent please contact the school office @ 252-2900 to let us know. You can leave a message after hours. Doing homework, stuck in traffic, or oversleeping are not excused. Dental and doctor appointments and illness are excused. The district now has the policy that travel is not excused.
