Communication with your Child during school hours
Parental communications with their child should take place only when there is a family emergency and via the main office or guidance phone numbers, NOT via cell phone. Parents are asked to refrain from sending any text messages during school hours, which is a distraction and disrupts instructional time.
Gym Safety from the Nurse's Corner
In order to ensure students’ safety during Physical Education class, the following guidelines have been established:
-Proper footwear is required. Properly tied sneakers are to be worn for physical education class. Sneakers are designed to allow for easy movement and to protect the feet and ankles from injuries that could occur while participating in vigorous activities.
* No shoes, sandals, flip flops, boots or crocs are allowed.
-Gym excuses can be given up to three (3) days with a parent note. A doctor’s note must be obtained after the third day.
-Any student under a doctor’s care for a medical orthopedic reason cannot return to gym without a doctor’s note.
-A student with a cast, brace, sling or splint will not be allowed to participate in physical education regardless of a doctor note. These devices create the potential for injury to another student.

IMPORTANT ROAD SAFETY REMINDERS
PLAYGROUND AFTER-SCHOOL
Please be sure to supervise students on the playground after-school.
During the school day and at recess we have many expectations of the students when on the playground to keep them safe (i.e. no throwing wood chips, not running up the slide; not jumping off of high platforms;) and we would love for all students to be safe after school.
Thank you for your cooperation and for keeping our students safe.
ATTENDANCE AND LATENESS
Punctuality is also a habit HAS strives to expect and support. Middle school students who arrive after 8:10 a.m. are considered tardy. They must obtain a late pass from the office. After the sixth tardy, a student will receive a lunch detention each time they are tardy. Parents/Guardians will be notified if their child has been tardy five or more times. On February 1st tardy counts will reset and the process will begin again.

Absences
