Winter is Here!
All students need to wear boots. Our Kindergarten through second grade students also need snowpants in order to play in the snow. Snowpants are optional for grades 3 through 5. If you need any assistance with getting your child warm winter clothes, please contact our office.
Tardies/Absences/Appointments
- Tardies: Our first bell rings at 7:50. This is the time when students are allowed to go to their lockers, get a breakfast and go inside their classrooms. Students must be in their classrooms by 8:05.
- Absences: If your child office staff at 446-2900. If we do not hear from you our office will be calling to check the whereabouts of your child....your child's safety is always our number one concern. Being on time and having good attendance is crucial for learning. When a child is habitually absent/tardy, there is a negative impact on learning. If you are ever having trouble with getting your child to school, please call our or your child is feeling sick to often, please call the office. Our school counselors, Ali Moody or Mary Wagner would be happy to work with you and offer support and suggestions.
- If you need to pick up your child during the day, please come to the office to sign he/she out. The office will call your child out of his/her classroom. Due to district policy, we are unable to call your child out of the classroom before you have arrived at the school.
