Frequently Asked Questions: This page contains answers to common questions of students and parents.
What do I do if my child is absent?
Please call the office and ask for your child's work. I will have it in the office at 3:00. This will keep your child from falling behild. Please realize that sometimes it is not possible to do some of the things at home that are done in class. Please make every effort to have your child at school each day unless he/she is truly sick. Children who attend school regularly perform better.Back to Top
