Reminders
Attendance Students leaving at any time during the day will be recorded as leaving. This time is figured into their attendance as minutes of instruction time lost. All tardies are unexcused unless accompanied by a doctor's note. You can monitor your student's attendance by visiting the parent portal. Ask the school's administrative assistant if you have any questions. Our community advocate, Mr. Nemik, will contact you to develop a plan for success if attendance is an issue.
Vision and Hearing Screening Results from the Vision and Hearing Screening should be back shortly. You will be receiving notification if your student did not pass. Please follow up with appropriate professionals in a time manner.
Locked Doors All doors will remain locked for safety purposes. You must enter through the office and obtain a visitor's pass. You may use the intercom to call into the office and you will be let in accordingly.
Medication Students are not allowed to bring any medications to school in accordance with medication laws. If students are in need of any medication during school hours, parents must pick-up the necessary forms in the office and have them completed by a physician prior to bringing medication to school. This includes cough drops, inhalers, Tylenol, etc.
Uniforms The weather is getting colder so please make sure to wear a coat everyday. Remember that you must wear a blue polo shirt - no T-shirts. No cargo pants are allowed and no more shorts.
