Early Pick-up/Student Messages
If you plan to pick up your child early from school please send a note to the teacher, or e-mail well in advance. If a teacher knows in advance that your student is leaving early from school, he/she will try to make sure your child is ready to leave at the time you’ve requested. It is our goal to not interrupt classrooms with phone calls regarding changes in pick-up plans. Advance planning helps us to limit interruptions to your child’s classroom.
If someone other than a parent will be picking up a student, please notify the office.
- All students must be signed out when leaving campus before dismissal.
- Students will be released only to those persons indicated on the Emergency Information Card.
We do not permit parents/guardians to interrupt class time to give personal messages to their students.
Medication
All medication brought to school must be left in the school nurse’s office to be administered by the school nurse or health assistant.
- Medication must have a note with directions from the attending physician. (Stop by the office to pick up a medication form.)
- Medications with expired prescriptions will be disposed of by the school nurse.
