BE SAFE - OUR STUDENTS ARE WATCHING AND LEARNING FROM YOU!
Adults - please use crosswalks in our front lot and all around school.
Please focus your attention on driving forward after your child has left your car.
Please follow the directions of our staff who are working to keep everyone safe.
YOUR CHILD'S ATTENDANCE MATTERS!
Here are some things that parents and guardians can do to help children come to school every day:
• Set a regular bed time and morning routine.
• Lay out clothes and pack backpacks the night before.
Avoid letting your child stay home unless he or she is truly sick. Sometimes complaints of a stomachache or headache can be a sign of anxiety and not a reason to stay home.
• Talk to teachers, school counselors or other parents for advice on how to alleviate a child’s anxiety about going to school or other issues.
• Develop back-up plans for getting to school if something comes up. Call on a family member, a neighbor or another parent.
• Avoid scheduling medical appointments and extended trips when school is in session.
