ATTENDANCE - It is a joint parental and student responsibility to ensure that students are at school and on time every day.  Attendance is taken each morning and   the names of absent students are recorded at the office.  If the office has not been informed of the child’s absence by parents, an attempt will be made to contact them.  This is for safety reasons. Parents can help staff monitor attendance by phoning the office anytime to inform us of the child’s absence each day the child is away.  There is an answering machine for after hours or early calls but it is only on one line.  If a child must leave early for an appointment or other commitment, a note should be sent with the child or a phone call made to the office in the morning so it can be recorded on the attendance sheet.  If a child is ill and wishes to go home early, the parents will be contacted and informed of the situation by the office before the child is dismissed.

PARENT PHONE NUMBERS AND  ADDRESS CHANGES - It is of paramount importance that the school has accurate records of parents’ home and work numbers.  Please inform us immediately of phone number or address changes during the year, so we can keep our records up-to-date.

MEDICAL ALERTS - If your child has a medical condition that requires precautionary treatment of medication at school, please contact your school to obtain the required “Medical Alert Form” and/or the “Request For Administration of Medication at School Form”.
