NURSE ON DUTY
If your child emails you or sends you a text that they aren’t feeling well, please tell them to go to see the nurse. We are fortunate to have a nurse in the building every day. We will do an assessment and offer supportive care. Parents will be contacted for students that are ill, or aren’t well enough to make it through the school day. We’re here to help!
REPORTING AN ABSENCE/EARLY PICK_UP
Parents/Guardians are asked to use the two features available in Genesis Parent Portal:
- Notify Attendance Office-Student absence/tardiness should be reported through the Genesis portal. Notifications will be processed by the person who handles attendance.
- Daily Parent Pick Up Releases-Early pick up can be reported through the portal. No need to call/email the office, or send in a note.
