tardiness & leaving early

WHEN YOUR CHILD IS LATE FOR SCHOOL:
Students must report to the front office to sign in with name and room number and receive a tardy slip before going to class. Otherwise students will be marked absent. 

WHEN YOUR CHILD NEEDS TO LEAVE EARLY:
If your child needs to leave school prior to release time, the adult who is picking up the child needs to come to the school office. Please sign the student out and our school secretary will inform the classroom teacher you are waiting and your child will meet you in the office. Please DO NOT go straight into classrooms to excuse a student early.
