Between 8:45 – 9:00 AM. Staff will be on duty to assist students as they exit from cars. Please use the parent drop-off lane NOT the school bus lane.
We need to ask parents to stay in their cars! It can create a dangerous situation to have extra people out of their cars and walking alongside the cars. There are staff members around who will help your students! Thank you for your consideration in keeping everyone safe.
Afternoon kindergarten children should arrive no earlier than 12:50 p.m.
If you have not done so, please take time to complete the following information which replaces the typical paper copies that come home every year. It is essential that we have this information. If you need paper copies, please call the office.
Please plan to schedule vacations around scheduled school holidays. We value excellent attendance! State regulations define excused Absences and Tardies as follows: Illness, Death of relative, Serious emergency, or Educational Trip.
Children arriving after 9 AM are considered tardy and must be signed into school by an adult.
Educational trips may be excused if approved by the Principal two weeks in advance and the student is in good academic standing. Educational Trip forms are available in the office or online.
***Please note that after 10 absences a physician’s excuse may be required for each future absence. According to the PA School Code, “A maximum of ten days of cumulative lawful absences verified by parental notification may be permitted during a school year. All absences beyond ten cumulative days should require an excuse from a physician.” Absences in excess of ten days (educational trips included) that are not accompanied by a physician’s note shall be deemed unexcused. The accumulation of three unexcused absences will constitute a violation of the compulsory school attendance law.
Pickup Patrol:
If your child is absent for any reason, please log into Pickup Patrol and list your child as absent. If your child will be absent for more than one school day, please arrange for missed classwork by emailing your child’s teacher and making arrangements to pick up missed assignments.
