If Your Child is Absent

Parents -- if your child is out sick and you need homework assignments, you must call the main office by 9AM. Please do not email your child's teachers and talk to one of the office staff members instead. Also, in order to reduce illness in our building, please do not bring ill children into school to pick up their work. Follow the above procedure through our office staff. Thanks!!
