TRANSPORTATION
For bus information for bus riders go to the transportation page. Children should ride their assigned buses all year. Any deviation from this procedure must receive prior approval by the principal. This includes those children who go to a baby sitter's house after school. Students should arrive at the bus stop no more than five minutes before the bus arrives. Inappropriate behavior can lead to suspension of bus riding privileges.
Students transported by car must arrive in time to report to their classrooms by 8:30 a.m. Students who arrive after 8:30 a.m. will be counted as tardy. If a tardy occurs, please sign your child into school at the security desk.

OFFICE COMMUNICATION
To maintain the safety and well-being our students, the school office must maintain current student information. If you change phone numbers, work numbers, or emergency numbers please remember to notify the main office. Home address changes must also be reported. Your diligence in this area will be greatly appreciated.

Please phone the school to inform us of your child's absence. Please also send a note in citing the reason for the absence when your student returns to school. Absences other than illness or emergencies must receive prior approval by the principal. The school day ends at 3:00 p.m. If your child needs dismissal prior to 3:00 or there is a change in leaving procedures, please send a note to the teacher or call the office before 10:00 a.m. Please avoid picking up your child prior to the release times: 2:50 p.m. for Kindergarten/Grade1 and 2:55 p.m. for Grades 2-5.
