Why do I have to sign in and out each time I visit the school?
All parents and visitors must stop by the office to sign in and receive a
visitor's pass before visiting classrooms. This is to ensure the
safety of all students and staff. Please be considerate and call ahead
to schedule conferences with teachers to assure a convenient time for
both parent and teacher. This helps assure a safe and uninterrupted
learning environment for your children.
When is a good time to call my child's teacher?
Teachers can receive calls before and after school (7:30-7:45 a.m. and
after 2:30 p.m.). All other times the teacher will be instructing.
Who is authorized to pick up my child at school?
Any person who is listed on your child's emergency card may pick up your
child from school. It is important to list all persons who may do this
on your card to avoid delays in picking up your child. If someone who
is not listed will pick up your child, a written note must be submitted
to the office. Identification will be required.
Can my child be given medicine at school?
A physician's order and a signed request from parents or legal guardians
are required for medicine to be dispensed at school. Students cannot
bring medicine to school. Parents must bring the medicine to the school
nurse in a new, unopened bottle. The school nurse or trained staff
are the only persons authorized to dispense medication to your child.
Over the counter medicines such as cough drops, medicated skin cremes
must also be brought to the nurse by a parent. PLEASE DO NOT SEND
MEDICATIONS IN YOUR CHILD'S BACKPACK.
