Late Arrival
Everyone should be aware of the process of entering the parking lot and the school in the morning. Please note that once the students' entrance door has been closed, students who are just arriving are considered late. Mrs. Meyers will check to see that the parking lot line of cars have all dropped off their students and then she will close and lock the door. Students will then have to come to the main entrance, ring the bell and then proceed to the main office to sign in and receive a late pass. All students MUST adhere to this rule.

Important Reminder Regarding Illness
Parents/guardians, please be aware that if your child is sick, please let him or her stay home. If a child has a fever, he or she MUST be kept at home! Students MAY NOT return to school until they have been fever free (without the use of Tylenol) for 24 hours. For everyone's safety, please adhere to this rule! Remember that a child who is sent back to school too soon only runs the risk of reinfection, as well as passing it on to others.
