Checking Out Early or Missed School Work?
CHECKING OUT EARLY? If you plan to check your child out early, be sure to send a note in the morning with your child to the teacher. This gives the teacher a heads up and may prevent waiting.

MISSED SCHOOL WORK: If your child is absent and intends to return to school the following day, all missed work and assignments will be in a make-up folder in their classroom. It is your child's responsibility to make up their work according to the guidelines of his/her teacher. If your child is absent a second day and you would like to pick up the makeup work, please call the office by 9am and we will try to have the work available for you in the front office for pick up after carpool has ended (3:15pm)
