The teachers and office staff closely monitor attendance.  Students are expected to be on time for school and to be in the school yard at least five minutes before the 8:40 a.m. entry bell rings. It is important that your youngster is punctual and ready to participate promptly when classes begin.  Please ensure that your child gets to school on time.

In the event that your child will be absent, please notify us before 8:45a.m. (before 12:30 p.m. for afternoon only absence) using one of the following methods:

        ·  Telephone 395-2842 any time (our answering machine will record your message until 8:30 a.m.)

        ·   If you know in advance that your child will be unable to attend class due to an appointment or family trip etc., please send a note to your child’s teacher explaining when and for how long your child will be away from school.

        ·  Send written notice with your child’s brother, sister, or friend.
