IMPORTANT REMINDERS FOR PARENTS:
1) If your child is sick-please make sure they DO NOT come to school until they have been fever free for 24 hours without medication or have been cleared by a physician. Thank you for your attention to this.
2) In the case of your student becoming ill while at school: Student needs to come to the attendance office and the office will contact the parent. If you are contacted by your student before reporting to office - Please call the office at 485-8241 or 485-8044 to notify us of an ill student in the building and encourage student to come down. Thank you for partnering with us in these important safety procedures.
3) Remember also that College Visit excused absences REQUIRE DOCUMENTATION from the College. Parent notes DO NOT excuse the absence.
4) Parents pulling up in the Courtyard Area of Back Parking Lot still continues to be an issue-please see the following:
Parents, Students, Faculty and Staff
Our number 1 priority is to ensure the safety of each and every student, parent and faculty member. Therefore, parents, students, family members or friends who are dropping off students in the morning, picking them up after school, any after school function or sporting event MUST NOT pull up into the courtyard area for any reason. Your student needs to exit the building and walk out to you in the student parking area.
Parents have been pulling all the way up in the courtyard to pick up students and are blocking faculty members in by not pulling into parking spaces. There have also been occasions where students have almost been hit by a vehicle. The courtyard area is a cut-through area for staff and students to cross from one part of the building to another.
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY – 9/29-2015 - If you pull into the courtyard area and are not in a properly marked parking spot, we will call the police even if you are sitting in your vehicle. Again, this is a safety issue for all.
Respectfully,
Jerry Mayes, Principal
