MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION

Visitors: Parents are welcome to visit school any time, however, please be careful not to interrupt the teacher during instructional time. If you are visiting we ask that you check in at the office. Also, we ask that you do not bring or ask to bring school age children visiting at your home to school. Each year we receive a few calls requesting permission to bring friends or relatives to school for one or more days. This can create some very uncomfortable situations for teachers and students.

Family Reps:  Occasionally, information and other notices will be sent home with a family rep. The school/PTA newsletter will be sent home on a monthly basis through the family reps.

Phone Calls: School phones are for school business and emergencies only. Students will be allowed to call for illness, lunch charges and other emergency situations. They will not be allowed to call for permission to go home with friends and other social situations.

Problems or Concerns: If your child has a problem or you have a concern, please let us know. Most problems have to do with miscommunication and can be quickly resolved. Visit with the teacher first, then with the teacher and principal together.

Student Supplies:  All necessary supplies will be furnished by the school. We encourage children to have a book bag or a backpack to carry materials to and from school.

Fees and Donations:  There is no assessment for fees for elementary school students. However, donations will be requested from time to time to help fund programs that would otherwise not be available. Examples of such programs are assemblies, field trips, plays and craft projects.

Pets:  Pets should not be brought to school without prior approval of the teacher. Parents should take the pet home immediately after showing it to the class. No animals are permitted on the bus.

Toys At School:  Please do not allow children to bring toys of any kind to school. They distract the children and do not enhance the educational process. Frequently these items can be lost or damaged by other children. The school cannot accept responsibility for the safety of these types of items.

Keeping Students After School: No student shall be kept after school without prior approval of the parents. All students should leave the school and grounds immediately following school since no formal supervision is provided.
