What are the school rules and regulations?

The student handbook is given out at the beginning of the year for you to 
review.  See the home page for a link to the documents.  Each classroom 
teacher also will send home various comminications to keep you informed 
about your child's progress.  You may schedule a parent conference with your 
child's teacher if you have any questions.

What if my child needs medications during school?

If your child should need medicine(including over-the-counter) during the 
school day, we must have a signed "Permission to Administer Medicine" form 
from your doctor.  You can get a copy of this form from the school to be 
completed and returned to the school office.  We also ask that all student 
emergency contact information be kept current.  Please notify the school if 
there are any changes.

What if my child has a transportation change?

We ask that any transportation changes be done in writing.  We can not take 
a child's word if they need to ride a different bus, or have a change.  
Children may get confused and safety is our first priority.
