FREQUENTLY Asked Questions

We provide bus transportation for the students in our district. If you have any questions about bus schedules, please contact our office. Please remember that riding the bus is a privilege. In order to maintain a safe bus experience for our students and staff, each student must follow the behavior guidelines outlined in the student handbook.

We believe that students' appearance is important to the learning process and use the following guidelines to maintain a safe, respectful learning environment.

We allow students to bring cell phones to campus, but they must turn them off and avoid using them during the school day.

School attendance is vital for your child's education. If your child must be absent, students are responsible for arranging and completing make-up work.

We serve healthy lunches to students and staff every school day. Please visit our Food Services page for more information, including meal prices and menus.

There are times when students may wish to have a friend attend classes with them for the day. To arrange a visit, please contact the office and make arrangements. All visitors must abide by school rules and check in at the front office before entering our campus.

We will contact you if your child becomes ill during school hours and needs to come home. Please ensure that your emergency contact phone numbers are current with the school office.

If your child must take medication during school hours, you must provide our office with a written statement from the child's physician stating that the medication must be administered during school hours. We require parents and guardians to deliver the medication in the original, labeled container. We will dispense medication only as labeled by the pharmacist.

We are happy to provide pre-school services to children ages three through five. We know that early childhood education is important for preparing our students for kindergarten. Please learn more about the program on our Pre-K page.
