Policy Reminders
504 Plan Students:
Please remember 504 plans are legal binding documents. Plans must be followed as written. Please make sure copies are available for subs and resource teachers.
Teachers, if you notice any student struggling academically and you are thinking about requesting a 504 plan, please see Ms. Madden sooner rather than later so the student can be added to the agenda in a timely manner.
Attendance:
Please remind parents that a note is needed to excuse an absence. If the student is absent for 3 or more consecutive days, the parent must submit a note from the doctor for the absences to be excused.
