students.

Should my child wear tennis shoes every day?

Yes. If we do not have P.E., we will go outside for recess when 
weather permits. To stay safe, tennis shoes are recommended and 
flip-flops should NEVER be worn to school. The specials rotation 
is written in the weekly agendas.

Do you need help in the classroom? What should I do if I can help?

YES. You are welcome to come in and help any day of the week 
(Monday - Thursday). Email me if you are interested and I will 
put you on our volunteer calendar. You can find a copy on the 
2009 - 10 Parent info page (to be updated in September).

What is for lunch and can I join my child?

Menus are posted on the Vaughan website weekly. You are welcome 
to join us any day for lunch (12:12 - 12:42). We will 
meet you at the greeters desk in the front hall at our lunch 
time. Please, DO NOT bring fast food in the restaurant's 
containers or sodas.

What if I need to change my child's transportation?

Go to the 2009-10 Parent information page to print a change in 
transportation form and send it to school in your child's 
homework folder so I can make the necessary arrangements. 
A notation in the agenda is recommended. Also, tell your child 
what they will be doing differently. Transportation changes can 
NEVER be made over email. You may fax the information to the main 
office at 678-594-8300.

What should I do if my child must be absent from school?

If your child must be absent due to their illness, please send in 
a written excuse the day your child returns. If your child has 
thrown up or had a fever in the past 12-24 hours, these should be 
indicators to keep them at home until they are feeling better. 
Student will be marked as unexcused if:
--no note is received: 
--if the absence is for reasons other than:
        illness
        death in the family
        a recognized religious holiday

The official policy on absences can be found on the Parent Info. 
page on my website.

Will my child have make up work when they return from their absence?

Yes. We will keep a file of important assignments that were 
missed so your child can have adequate time to receive 
instruction and assistance in the areas missed. Work will only be 
sent home to complete when absent more than 3 days and will be 
sent home when the child returns. (If they are too sick to be at 
school, they probably won't do their best on their assignments;
this is why I don't send home assignments until they are well 
again). 
Assignments will be due one week after your student returns to 
school after an illness.
