School Hours
The tardy bell rings at 8:00 am.
Absences and Tardies
Excused absenses are for illness or emergencies. Out-of-town trips are considered Unexcused Absenses. A child may make up work for the first five unexcused absenses, but after that they will receive zeroes for all missed work. In other words, please don’t plan vacations on school days. Please remember that when your child has been sick and returns to school you need to send the teacher a written note, dated and signed, that indicates your child was absent due to sickness. The same will apply if the student is absent due to serious illness or death in the family. We do appreciate phone calls that let us know why a child is absent, and we encourage you to continue to do this, but it is still required that the written note be sent upon return to school. The absence will then be changed from unexcused to an excused absence. Students are marked tardy if they are not in the classroom when the bell rings at 8:00. If a student is late due to a medical appointment, a parent must come to the office with them when they check in and relay this information to the office staff. The tardy will then be excused.
