Frequently Asked Questions
.
What if I need to pick my child up for an appointment during the school day?
- Send your child to school with a note stating the time you need to pick them up.
- Your child will then give it to Mrs. Pallett first thing in the morning.
- Mrs. Pallet will write them a pass for the time you requested.
- Your child will show the pass to his teacher at the time and will be waiting in the office to be picked up at the requested time.
What if I need to drop off something to my student at school?
- Buzz into the front door by the office.
- Place your child's item on the table by the office door.
- Write your child's name on the sheet of paper and pen provided near the drop off table.
- Your child will need to check the drop off table in between passing times or at lunch.
- There is no need to inform the office staff unless your child does not know it is being dropped off.
What if I want to change my child's mode of transportation for the afternoon?
- It is requested that transportation remain consistent as it creates confusion for the student if this is not determined when they leave for school in the morning.
- We understand that life happens, and when it does, please, call prior to 11:00 am, if at all possible, so information can be delivered during lunchtimes.
My family is going out of town for an extended period of time. What do I do?
- Have your child obtain an approved absence form from the office a minimum of 5 days in advance.
- Fill out the requested information.
- Have your child get the necessary information from their teachers.
- Return to the office when complete.
- Note: pre-approved does not mean excused. Family trips during days in which school is in session will be considered unexcused.
Ultimately, we want to limit as many classroom interruptions as much as possible so learning can take place. In addition to that, it is important for middle school students to become more self-reliant and independent. Mrs. Archer and Mrs. Pallett are given the arduous task of assisting all students and family members of following these procedures so I am asking that all Lakeshore families do everything in their power to adhere to LMS policies and practices. Thank you in advance.
