Absences
The school pays close attention to a student's attendance. Students who are in school less than one-half of the school day are marked absent for the entire day.
Parents must notify the school of their child's absence by one of the following ways. You may call the school by 8:30 a.m. on the day of the absence giving your child's name, room number, teacher, grade and a brief reason for the absence or you may send a note to the office stating the reason for the absence.

Tardies
Students that are not in their classroom at 7:50 a.m. are tardy. They must report to the office for a tardy slip before going to class.
Early Dismissal
When a child leaves school before the regular dismissal time, he/she must be excused by the office staff.
Whenever possible, please schedule dental and medical appointments after school or on the weekend.
- Send a note explaining the reason for the request and the time and date you want your child released.
- When picking up your child, report to the office to receive a student pass and to sign out your child. Please bring a valid ID.
- A child will not be released without an escort and a Temporary Student Pass. Students will be released to authorized individuals only.
Whenever possible, please schedule dental and medical appointments after school or on the weekend.
Family Vacations
Family vacations should be scheduled during our school breaks to minimize absence from class. A child who will miss more than 10 school days may be asked to disenroll and re-enroll upon return.
Classroom Disruptions
To minimize classroom distractions and interruptions during instruction, phone messages and dropping off items are for emergencies only. Please discuss pick up arrangements with your child the day before. If items are dropped off at the office, the student must come down during recess to pick it up. This includes dropping off treats/goodies for birthdays, parties, etc.
For the safety and security of students and staff, parents are asked not to drop in on their child’s classroom. If you wish to arrange a visit to your child’s class, please make prior arrangements with your child’s teacher the day before.
All Visitors must report to the school office. During instructional time, all campus visitors must have a visitor’s pass and a pre-arranged and approved purpose for visiting the campus.
Please wait in our designated waiting area in front of administration building when picking up your child after school.
