Daily Attendance is Very Important
School Wide Attendance Incentives
As a school we have Monthly Perfect Attendance Rewards. We also have Weekly Attendance Incentives. This is to help us achieve our 95% daily attendance goal.
Students can not be picked up between 3:00 p.m.. and the dismissal time!!!
This policy aims at protecting your child’s education.
The end of the day is rich in a variety of important activities: students receive the last instructional part of the day. It is a time of questions and answers, it is a time where homework is being given and explained. It is also a time when different housekeeping activities take place. The end of the day routines are very important to teach students organizational skills, and to allow for a formal closing of the day’s activities.
If your child has an important appointment (medical), then you need to schedule the pick-up before 3:00 p.m., so the end of the day routines may not be interrupted for the whole class, and the teacher.
Thank you for your understanding. Thank you for your support.
The educational process is our priority.
Absences
Procedure for reporting an absence
If your child will be absent, please call the office by 9:00 a.m. with the following information:
- The name of the person calling
- The name of the student and his/her room number or teacher
- The day of the absence
- The reason for the absence and when you will be able to provide the proper documentation
When the student returns to class, please send a note explaining the reason for the absence(s) and the date the student(s) was out.
Picking a child up during school hours
Please do everything possible to keep your child in school all day, every day. Set up appointments for after school hours so you do not have to interrupt your child's instruction. If an emergency arises and you must take you child during the school hours, please follow this procedure:
- The parent or guardian must report to the office with identification at the designated time and sign the child out. The office will then contact the teacher and the child will be sent to the office. The parent MUST wait in the office for the child.
- We are very conscious of the safety of our students. Because of this, only students who have been signed out will be allowed to leave their classroom.
- If the parent cannot pick up the child, the only individuals allowed to remove the child from school grounds will be those mentioned on the emergency card. Even older siblings cannot remove a child. In this event, more than likely we will call you to make sure you have authorized this early pick-up.
Retuning a child to school:
If a student returns to school the same day after being signed out, they need to come to the office before retuning to class to be signed back into school.
Tardy
School begins promptly at 8:15 a.m. Students arriving tardy must enter through the main door, sign in and pick up a tardy slip. Teachers will mark the tardy in the classroom.
