Reminders/Information
* Parents - there has been an increased number of students being pulled out of school early on Fridays. Please keep in mind that instruction does happen on a Friday afternoon and often is used as an assessment day. It is also disruptive to a class when we have to keep calling down to the room for students. Please wait until school is out to start your weekend plans as much as possible. We have a lot of ground to cover still from COVID.
* Please do NOT send ANY medications to school with your child (this includes cough drops, suckers, vicks vapor rub, etc). All medications (including over the counter) must go through the clinic.
*Just a reminder that students are only allowed 10 parent contacts for excused absences and after that you are required to have a doctor's note or it will be unexcused. Vacations should be scheduled during breaks as much as possible.
