Frequently Asked Questions: This page contains answers to common questions of students and parents.
What happens if my child misses school?
Please call the school as soon as you know of a child's absence. When your child returns to school, he or she is responsible to figure out what work was missed. S/He is responsible for completing any missing assignments in the amount of days that he or she was absent. For example, if a child is absent on Monday, when s/he returns on Tuesday, s/he is responsible for completing any missing assignments by Wednesday. Please contact the teacher if you have questions.Back to Top
Can my child celebrate his/her birthday in school?
Yes, students may bring in a store-bought treat or anything else he/she wishes to share. Just be certain to bring in enough items for all 23 students. Birthdays will be celebrated for the last 20 minutes of the day, and may be shortened if necessary. If your child has a summer birthday, please feel free to contact me about setting up a "half birthday" celebration.Back to Top
