School Procedures• Arrival/Dismissal

– Doors are unlocked at 7:30. – If you arrive at 7:50 or later, go to the office to

get a tardy slip. – If your child is going home a different way, call

the office by 2:45pm or send a note in your child’s folder in the morning.

– If your child is absent, please send a written and signed note stating why your child was absent.

This note must be turned in within 2 days. This will make the difference between an “excused” and “unexcused” absence.
