Written excuses must be sent if the child is absent. You may email me with the written excuse. An excused absence is sickness, funeral, etc. Unexcused absences are trips, etc. Students are counted absent from school if they are checked out before 11:00 am. Please send all money in an envelope labeled with your child’s name and what the money is for. Lunch/breakfast and ASP envelopes can be sent home in the child’s folder weekly. Lunch money must be sent separately from all other payments because lunch money is handled separately than all other school money. PLEASE include your child’s lunch number on all lunch money. Medication – All medications must be in a prescription bottle with the dosage and time on it. A medication form MUST accompany the medicine. All medications are kept in the nurse’s office.
