- If your phone number or email should change during the school year, please
send me the updated information and notify the office as soon as possible.
- When your child returns to school after an absence, he/she must bring a note stating the reason for the absence. If your child saw a doctor, please get an official doctor’s note. This will prevent any unexcused absences.
- Please label all coats, sweaters, etc., with your child’s name.
- Please provide your child with a backpack. It is necessary for the children to take home notes, papers, and books. It is more likely for their items to get home if he/she has something to carry them in.
