Reminders
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.
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 Shorts (appropriate length - must reach the bottom of the index finger) and capris may now be worn. They may still not have cargo pockets and shirts must be polo and be tucked in.
