TELEPHONE CALLBACK AND STUDENT SAFE ARRIVAL PROGRAM
Parents should phone in to the answering machine after 4:30 p.m. the previous night or by 8:30 a.m. (477-3392). Attendance is checked first thing in the morning. Parent volunteers will phone families if there is a concern about the safe arrival of a child. Please assist us with your child’s safety by getting your child to school on time and by providing correct phone numbers and a contact number. Please send a note if your child is leaving the school during normal school hours, will not be returning following an appointment, or will be late the next day.

STUDENT DROP OFF/PICK-UP

In the morning, parents are requested to drive slowly in a single line and “stop and drop” students in the drive-through as their cars reach the front entrance area. After school, if your child is not ready for pick-up, please keep driving slowly through the round about until your child arrives. Please park your car off site as school lot parking is for staff only.

PARENT DRIVER INFORMATION

Board Policy requires that before children are driven by anyone a completed Volunteer Driver Form, a copy of the current vehicle insurance (with minimum $1,000,000 liability) and driver’s license MUST be on file in the school office. A child cannot ride in the front seat where an airbag is used. All students in K-1 are required to be in a booster seat for all field trips.
