Policies

School hours and absences: Doors open at 7:15 and students are dismissed at 2:55. Students are considered tardy after 7:40 and must get a tardy slip from the office before entering class. Students not at school by 9:00 will be marked absent. Please send a note with your child upon returning to school explaining any absences. If you need to check out your child early from school, please come BEFORE 2:15 p.m. We will not be able to get students out of the dismissal routine after that unless it is an emergency. Students will not receive perfect attendance certificates for the second semester or the year if they have more than 3 early check outs this semester. For transportation changes, please call the front office BEFORE 2 p.m. Thank you for your help keeping our students safe and helping us to remain effective and efficient in our dismissal procedures.

Safety: If you plan on entering your child’s classroom to drop them off, pick them up, or join them for lunch please be sure to check in with the office before heading to the classrooms. Student safety is a top priority and teachers cannot let anyone enter the classroom or school building without a visitor’s badge on.

Communication: Your satisfaction and involvement are important to us. We send frequent emails to communicate class specific information. Visit our grade level and teacher websites for updates and important information.

Changing how your child goes home: Please call the front office at 512-704-1900 when you have a change in transportation.

Parties and Birthdays: Birthdays and class parties are important. We will have 3 class parties: winter, Valentine’s Day, and the last day of school. If you would like to send a store bought treat for your child’s birthday, it will be served after your child’s scheduled lunch time. Due to allergies, please do not send anything with nuts.
