Important Information for 2023-2024 School Year
Entrance at Door 1 - All students who enter the building after 8:00 am will have to enter through Door 1 only. We will not allow any students to enter through Door 2 during the school day (8:00 am - 3:05 pm).
Updates to Student Handbook - Please check the Jr/Sr High Student Handbook for all of the updates but I wanted to highlight a few before school begins.
- Students must be in attendance by 8:15 am to attend and/or participate in extracurricular practices, games and/or contests that day.
- If a student misses school on Friday, he or she must produce a note verified by the doctor in order to participate in any/all school activities the following day (Saturday).
- Good Standing - students who are not in good standing will not be allowed to participate in field trips, college visits, school dances, etc. See page14 for details.
- Cell phones - Junior high students are to leave them in their lockers but high schools students may carry them throughout the day. They are not to be visible in class unless approved by the classroom teacher.
Sick Child at School - If your child gets sick or feels sick at school, please remind them that the protocol is to report to the nurse in the office first. She will document symptoms and then inform parents when their child needs to go home. It is important that we are consistent and following protocols. Thank you for your assistance with this.
Car Riders Pick-Up Line - Students need to be picked up in the circle drive outside of the main entrance only (Door 1). Students are NOT permitted to walk across Viking Trail to get in cars parked at Irvin Park. This is a safety concern for our students as well as the drivers. Please help us by reminding your child and waiting patiently in the pick-up line.
Attendance - Please make sure if your child will not be at school that you call the school and let us know their name and reason for absence. As a reminder, we are following the Attendance Policy outlined in our Student Handbook this year.
