Health & Safety
IMMUNIZATIONS AND STUDENT MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS
Emergency cards
Parents are required to keep updated emergency cards filed in both the school and extension offices (provided your child is in extension). It is important to change the information on your cards should you move, have changes in any phone numbers, or change jobs. Students will be checked out only to people listed on the emergency card. All pertinent and or special health needs should also be listed on the emergency card.
Illness and Notification
We understand that it is difficult for a parent to leave or miss work; therefore, it is recommended that alternative arrangements be made for occasions when children must remain at home or be picked up due to illness. If your child has any of the following conditions or symptoms, we will contact you to pick up your child from school immediately in order to prevent contagion of other children and staff and to provide comfort to your child.
Arriving at School
All students may be dropped off in the front of the school any time before 7:30am. This location will have adult supervision. Students are to have breakfast on arrival before bell goes at 7.25am for entering classrooms. All students must be in their classrooms by 7.30am. All students arrived after 8.00am is considered late.
Uniform
Implicit in a student’s application to attend the school is a willingness to cooperate and abide by the uniform code. School uniforms promote unity, modesty, neatness, and foster an atmosphere of uniformity that gives dignity to the individual and the school. They should in no way be worn or altered to make a fashion statement.
Absence
Students are excused from school when they are ill or have dental/doctor appointments. If a student is going to be absent, parents are required to call or email the School Office to inform staff of the absence, prior to 7:00 am, if possible. When a student returns to school after being absent, the parent must send a note explaining the absence to the teacher or provide a Dr./Dentist verification of the absence or tardy in order for it to be considered excused.

-
