Please understand that changes should only be made in the event of an emergency. When requesting a bus pass for a student to ride another bus home, the following information is necessary.  Please send a note to the office with your student or contact the office before 1:45 pm with the following:
  • Where your child is going (friend's house, grandparents', etc.)
  • The address of where your child is going.

Attendance Policy 

  • Parents must send their child to school unless the child is ill, there is a family emergency, or state law permits the reason.
  • Students who are acutely ill should remain at home. Do not send your child to school if he/she has any of the following signs of illness.
  • Students must be symptom free for 24 hours before returning to school. A normal temperature must be maintained without the use of medicine such as Tylenol.
  • Parents should call the school the morning their child is ill by 9:00 a.m. Also, if a student will have an extended absence, please notify the school.
  • If you wish to pick up homework for your child, you must call the school before 9:00 a.m. to allow the teacher time to gather materials. Materials will be available in the office after 3:00 p.m.
