Purchasing Gift Cards

• Gift cards can be added to a purchase both online at fairs.literati.com and in person at your fair. Online, the customer enters in the recipient’s email address at checkout. In person, the cashier enters in the recipient’s email address using the cash register.
• Once purchased, the gift card code will be delivered via email. Please have recipients check their inbox, spam, or junk folders if they are unable to locate their gift card code.
• To redeem in person, the cashier enters the code on the register or scans the printed barcode. (See below for more information on printing barcodes.) To redeem online, the recipient inputs the code at checkout.
• Because gift cards purchased in-person can only collect limited information, we recommend purchasing gift cards online. This allows you to gather more details and makes it easier for you to look up individual balances or codes.

Hair must be of natural color - no tinsel or colored braids, no ponytail/man-buns for boys, bangs must be out of your eyes, no designs may be cut into hair

Shirts - no tank tops for boys, girls must be 3 adult finger-width at shoulder, no bare mid-riffs

Students not in dress code will be asked to change in the nurse's office or call a parent to bring additional clothing.

Please remember that daily attendance is a critical piece of academic success. All students should arrive on campus between 7:35 and 7:55. Students have no more than 3 days to bring a note back in the event of an absence for it to be counted as excused. Parents are limited to writing 3 notes per semester. Any consecutive absences of more than 3 days requires a doctor's note. Excessive absences can result in Saturday School assignment and/or court fines for truancy. Every 3 tardy or leaving early will result in an unexcused absence.

Students may not be picked up from school between 2:30 and dismissal on Monday - Thursday or after 1:30 on Friday. This begins a very active and moving campus, so we do not do pick-ups. Please arrive prior to then or wait until after school.

Students have completed 8 weeks of lessons and are wrapping up the 10 emogers. As they practice these strategies, students will become more comfortable in their abilities to manage big feelings.
