Other Important School Policies

All children should come dressed according to weather conditions so they can participate in all activities.  Recess play is outdoors except in inclement weather.  The school is kept fairly warm.  Layers are best in cooler weather.

Please help to make your child responsible.   If your child does forget lunch, musical instruments, homework assignment, clothing, etc., he or she should check in the Main Office before the activity in which this item is needed.  Please discuss this policy with your child. With the exception of the K and 1st grades, we will not interrupt instruction to notify children that a parent has dropped the item off.

If everyone takes a little time to follow the above procedures, our children’s school day will go smoother.  Thank you for your cooperation.

Students place the lunch orders at the beginning of the day, and their requests should be honored when they go to lunch.  If a child cannot obtain what is listed on the menu, or if his or her order is not available when they get to their lunch period, please notify the office.
