TELEPHONE & ADDRESS CHANGES

 

Please notify the school immediately if there is a change in your address, telephone number, work, baby-sitter, or person to contact in an emergency.  This information is very important in case your child becomes ill or injured.

  

TRANSFERS - WITHDRAWALS

 

Please let the school know if you are preparing to move.  We need time to get information ready to be sent to your child’s new school.  We can also help to ease the transition of a student going into a new experience.  If you are moving and are withdrawing your child from school, please notify the office in advance of the withdrawal.

  

PARENT-TEACHER COMMUNICATION

 

Parents are urged to contact the school whenever the need arises.  Teachers may be contacted by note, telephone, or school visit.  If you call during the school day, the office will leave the teacher a note to return your call.  If you wish to have a conference with your child's teacher, please call ahead to make an appointment.  If a problem occurs, we would appreciate your using the following sequence:

      

                                                1st - Visit Teacher

                                                2nd - Conference with Principal

                                                3rd - Contact Superintendent

                                                4th - Ask to be put on School Board agenda

  

VISITORS AND GUESTS

 

Parents/Guardians are encouraged to visit, except for the first two weeks and the last two weeks of the school year.  As a courtesy to the teacher, all visits and sharing (i.e. animals, pets) need to be pre-arranged.  Please try to limit your classroom visit to one hour and avoid disrupting the regular classroom routine by bringing cameras or young children.  All visitors are asked to report to the office upon arrival at school.

A great time for parents to visit is at lunchtime.  Come and eat with your child.  You may purchase a school lunch in the line if you have the exact change of $2.20 or you may have it taken out of your child’s account.

 

It is the district policy that students or friends from other schools will not be permitted to visit.  Arrangements may be made for students or friends to visit at lunch and noon recess.
