COMMON QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
The following is a list of answers, to some commonly asked questions. Please read the following carefully. It is important that the necessary routines are put in place immediately to ensure a successful school year.
Why must I adhere so strictly to the arrival and dismissal procedures?
Our procedures are designed to ensure the safety of all of our children. We will not dismiss your child to an adult that we do not know unless you have submitted written consent and this adult as proper identification. Please make sure you fill out and return the "Dismissal Information" form that you will receive
Why is the school staff so concerned about consistent attendance and punctuality?
OUR SCHOOL DAY BEGINS AT 8:50 AM. It is imperative that your child is in the plaza prior to 8:50 AM, each day, so that he/she can line up with the class when the bell rings. When children are late for class, they miss valuable learning experiences and they interrupt the continuity of instruction for the other children. Missing fifteen minutes or more of classroom time is a significant amount of time for our students. Excessive lateness does affect a student's chances/options for middle school acceptance.
OUR SCHOOL DAY ENDS AT 3:10 PM. Adults, who pick up children, must be on time as well. When parents pick up children after the designated time children become anxious. Additionally, it places a burden on the staff, as their workday does not end until all of their students are picked up.
What should I do if I have a question or concern regarding my child's progress or school life?
You should address all of your concerns and questions to the classroom teacher at first. If you are unable to resolve the situation with the teacher, you should schedule a meeting to talk to me. After this, we will schedule a meeting with all the adults that might be able to support your child through the situation about which you are concerned.
