Reading with Mrs. Scott

The school requires signed notes from parents or guardians for explanation of the following: Absence/Tardiness/Early Dismissal/ Change in the way a child is going home.

Permission to go home with another student (*If riding the bus, students must already ride the same bus route). A signed parent note or medical excuse must be given to the office any time your child is absent. 

The back entrance where car riders enter the building closes at 7:45 am. Even if a parent is in the line, students are considered tardy if they are not in the building when the bell rings. 

Any changes in afternoon transportation must be in writing and signed by the parent. Emails or phone calls cannot be accepted. 

Per Greenville County School District (GCS) policy, early dismissals must be before 1:45 pm. 

 During daily dismissal, under normal weather conditions, cars are scanned in the carline until 2:40 pm. 

 During daily dismissal, all parents/guardians who come to the office, must remain outside until 2:45 pm. 

After afternoon dismissal, no students are allowed back into classrooms to retrieve anything they have forgotten after they have left the building. 

Parents, please notify daycares of early dismissals and absences. 

 Smart watches and cell phones are not allowed to be out at school. If a student has one, it must be turned off and remain in the student’s book bags while on school grounds.
