From the Attendance Office:

Please make sure to call in for each day that your student is absent. Please do not email just the student's teacher for an absence. If the teacher is out that day, we do not always get the message and want to make sure that we are as accurate as possible when marking attendance. Also, please let us know ahead of time if your student will be late due to an appointment or if you need to pick up your student early from school. This helps us to be able to avoid unnecessary attendance issues as well as get your student from their classroom in a reasonable amount of time.

Volunteers Needed

Picking up your student during school hours 🏫

Please note that when students have to leave during the day, they will remain with their class until their pick-up person has arrived and either called the office or buzzed the door. Due to confidentiality and students not getting picked up at their specified time, we can not have children waiting in the office. Please understand that if you need them at a specific time for an appointment, you may need to come a few minutes earlier so we have time to get them from their classroom.

After School Plans

When calling to change after school plans please email the teacher before 10:00 am with your change or call the office before 2:15. The end of the day is very busy and we need that extra time to get the message to the teachers before school lets out.
