Checking Out Students
Due to not wanting our students to miss instruction time, we will only call students for pick up when his/her parents arrive. Students sometimes miss instruction when the parents are held up in traffic and various others reasons that might prevent them from being here when scheduled. Students checking out after 3:30 must be bring a note upon arrival to school and give it to Ms. King in the attendance office. Ms. King will give them a pass to come down at the designated time for pick up. IDs must be checked any time a student is being checked out.

Birthday Celebrations
We all agree that a child's birthday is an important event, but we do not allow birthday parties at school. Please do not bring birthday decorations and food to the school. This includes items such as balloons, flowers, streamers, cakes, cupcakes, cookies and drinks. Flowers and balloons delivered to the school must stay in the main office until time of dismissal. These items are prohibited on all school buses. We would greatly appreciate your assistance in this matter. |
