We expect students to be at school on time and ready to learn every day of the school year unless illness or family emergencies prohibit it. In that case, parents are asked to call the school and notify us of unplanned absences. We offer a call back service for those parents that would like to be notified if their children do not show up for school. Please contact our office for more information on this program. If the school has not been previously notified, our health office will follow up on children absent for three consecutive days. If a child is absent or tardy, we are required to have a parent written excuse provided. Please provide a written excuse on the day your child returns to school. Phone calls are not legal excuses.

All prescription and non-prescription (over the counter) medications given in school must have a doctor's written instructions and a signed note from the parent included with the request. Bee sting medications have other restrictions. Medications will be kept in a locked cabinet in our health office. Feel free to talk with the school nurse about any concerns or questions concerning our medication policy.

These cards are of utmost importance to you and your child. They are used to notify you in case of emergency and contain all important medical information, as well as to whom your child can be released to during the day. Therefore, it is imperative that this card be kept current and that it includes a phone number where someone can be reached at all times during the school day.

Students are expected to exhibit the same behavior on a school bus as in the classroom. Routes are developed by our transportation department and questions concerning specific transportation policies should be directed to 725-8118. Disciplinary issues are handled in the principal's office, and parents will be notified of unacceptable bus conduct.

School doors are open at 8:00 a.m. Children should not be dropped off prior to that time as NO supervision is available. During inclement weather, all children are encouraged to come into the building when the doors open; otherwise, they are asked to remain on the playground until our starting time of 8:30.

All visitors must check in at the office to obtain a visitor identification tag. This procedure ensures the safety of our children.
