    Arriving Late

    If your child is arriving late, a parent needs to come into the school building to sign in your child.  Students are considered late after 9:00am.

     

    Leaving Early

    If your child will be picked up early due to an appointment or scheduled activity, a written note must be sent to school for their teacher and the front office.  If a child needs to be picked up early, please pick them up by 3pm.  We will not release students between 3-3:30pm due to the teacher end of day routine and bus dismissal.

    PLEASE BRING YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE SO WE MAY VERIFY YOU ARE ON THE PICKUP LIST.

    If your child has a doctor's appointment, please ask the doctor for a written excuse.  Have your child give the written excuse to their teacher the next day of school. 

    Policy for going home a different way:

    If your child is changing their normal transportation routine (ie being parent pick up instead of taking the bus, going home on a different bus, or walking home with a friend) a written note must be sent to the school for their teacher and the front office. 

     

    Phone calls will no longer be received unless it is an emergency.  We will work with families when emergency situations arise. 

    All bus riders will go home on their assigned bus routes unless we are notified with a written note.

    This policy will reduce confusion, and it will increase our ability to safely get children where they need to be.
