Parent Link & Absences
If a child is going to be absent a parent is to call and leave a message giving the child’s name, the teacher and the reason for absence. This call should occur prior to 8:00 AM. Families of students recorded as absent will receive an automated parent call (by 10:00 AM) indicating that the child is not in attendance. Parents receiving the call will have the option of excusing his/her child and the school will receive an e-mail or voice file of the excuse. Parents receiving the message at a later time are asked to call the school and excuse their child or the absence will be considered unexcused. An absence note is required upon return to school. Family vacations or trips taken when school is in session are considered unexcused absences per School Board Policy. School work is not provided until the student returns to school.
Nut Allergies
If students with extreme nut allergies are in your child’s class the classroom will be nut-free for child safety.
Closings & Delays
Emergency school closings or 90 minute delayed openings due to inclement weather will be announced by 5:30 AM. Parents will find this announcement on the district’s website and a listing of TV/Radio stations to receive this information on the district website or in the Parent Handbook.
Bus Information
Students receive their bus tickets in the mail from the district’s transportation department. Students are only allowed to ride on the route bus indicated.
Clothing
Please provide layers for variable weather conditions. It is appreciated if parents of younger children give instruction on shoe tying! Clothing, in general for school, should be appropriate for the learning environment. Clothing should be comfortable and not a distraction. Shoes for gym, recess and for walking should be sturdy. Please leave flip flops, revealing clothing, and inappropriate message clothing at home.

Our PTO meet monthly and we welcome volunteers. The next meeting is September 10th at 7:00 PM at school. Please consider volunteering!
