State law requires that the school be notified of student absence. Please note that ONLY absences due to illness, medical or dental appointments and bereavement are excused and, therefore maintain the school’s funding. In the event that a student is absent, it is expected that a note be sent to the classroom teacher the first day back at school. Should your child for any reason be absent from school for more than two days, an Independent Study arrangement will assist in maintaining your child’s education and our funding too. Absence excuse forms can be found on the website.

If a student needs to leave campus prior to dismissal, he or she MUST be signed out by the parent/guardian in the office prior to leaving the classroom. This is essential so we can monitor the whereabouts of all our students.

Tardiness

Tardiness is disruptive to teachers and other students. Students arriving after 8.30 are considered late and need to be signed in at the office by the parent/guardian.

Parking/ Traffic

Please park in the new marked parking spaces. New entry and exit signs have been erected for cars entering and leaving the parking lot; please follow these for the safety of our children. Please keep children close to you at all times in the parking lot.

Please adhere to the 25MPH speed limit approaching and passing the school.

Dress code

Guidelines for appropriate attire are:

Shoes are to be closed toe and attached at the heel to ensure safety and ease of play.
Tops should not reveal or show midriff. Tank tops should have at least a 2 inch strap; no spaghetti straps.
Shorts, skirts and dresses should be even with or below the bottom fingers when standing normally.

Weather Emergencies, Etc.
