Absences
Whenever students are absent for any reason, their parent/guardian must send a signed and dated written explanation of the absence to their child’s teacher no later than the Third Day after students return to school after their absence. After five (5) personal notes written by the parent/guardian for excused absences, the school administration may request appropriate medical documentation upon return to school for the purpose of validating the absences. Academic work missed due to an absence should be made up when a student returns to school.

Inform Us of Any Allergies
IF YOUR CHILD HAS A KNOWN FOOD ALLERGY PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE AWARE OF IT.

Protecting your family from Head Lice
School lice outbreaks are a fact of life, but you can help reduce the risk of infestation. Discuss the subject of lice openly with your family. If there is a head lice outbreak in school or daycare, check everyone who’s had close contact with the infested person with a nit comb for nits/lice. Notify the school of any new cases of head lice. Encourage children not to share anything that touches their heads such as combs, brushes, headbands or hats. Talk to your local pharmacist about using a preventative treatment that does not contain harsh chemicals.
Further information can be obtained on the CDC website. -
