If there is an absence, email the school or call the office (541-355-2500) and email me. If your child is sick, contact the school & me each day they are absent (if you don’t contact us each day then your child will be marked absent unexcused). If it is a prearranged absence (trip etc.), we will excuse them for all the days they will be absent. I can’t excuse a student if they tell me they will be absent.
Please be on time ~ Morning Meeting starts at 7:45 a.m. and sets the tone for the day.
If you need to pick your child up early from school, please send me an email the night before letting me know what time you will be picking them up. I will have them ready and waiting for you in the office at your requested time.
If there is a last-minute change in plans for student pick-up, please call the office. I may not have the opportunity to check my email if it is a last-minute change.
Have a great weekend!
Warmly,
Kenan
