Changes to Reporting a Student Absence - Beginning Tuesday, January 19th
Every morning families will receive a text reminder on reporting a sick student. If your student(s) will be home sick or exposed to Covid 19, please open the following link and complete the sick student screener.
Please fill out the screening form online and submit it electronically. Please be sure to press submit at the end of the screener. This will streamline COVID screening processes.
If you fill out the sick student form, you do not have to call the school's attendance line to report your student’s absence.
If your student is missing school for anything other than an illness, please call the attendance line to report the absence.
If your student's symptoms have lasted over 24 hours, the nurse or site coordinator for your school will reach out to you by phone for the next steps.
Dress Code Reminders
Top colors are solid hunter green, navy blue, or white, WITH a school patch permanently attached in the upper corner.
Bottoms are navy blue or khaki.
Students can wear hoodies and jackets inside the building as long as they follow the requirements stated above.
No hats of any kind are allowed inside the building.
