Absence Notification:When absent, a student must have his/her parent or guardian call the Absence Hotline the same day he/she is absent. If the school has not been notified by the fifth (5th) day following the absence, the absence will be unexcused. If you are calling in a child’s absence, please call the Absence Hotline directly: 265-1412.
Check Out Policy (Student Appointments):
Student appointments should be made before or after school whenever possible as to not interrupt the educational process. If an appointment must be scheduled during the school day, please adhere to the process below:
Lost and Found:Lost and found items are kept in the main office behind Mrs. Dreher’s counter. To pick up lost items, visit our school between 7:30 am and 4:00 pm.
Morning Drop Off / Afternoon Pick-Up:Students should arrive on campus no earlier than 7:15 am. School starts at 7:47 am. Tuesday through Friday, students are dismissed at 2:03 pm. On those same days, students with a 7th period are dismissed at 3:01 pm. Mondays are “Early Out” days for teacher collaboration and staff development. On Mondays, students are released at 1:15 pm and students with a 7th period are dismissed at 2:05 pm. It is recommended students be dropped off and picked up on Cottle Road, in front of the school. Additionally, there is a drop off area by the staff parking lot, which can be accessed beside the preschool.
