Attendance
Regular Attendance/Punctuality is necessary to ensure students receive continuity in instruction. If your child is absent, please call the School Office by 7:30 am.

If any student is absent for 3 days or more, a physician’s note must be presented to the school nurse upon return to school. The school nurse will call parent if doctor’s note is not received. Student will not be admitted into class until medical note is received. Any contagious disease must be reported as soon as diagnosed.

Parents are encouraged to schedule vacations that coincide with the school calendar. Academic work will not be taught in classroom when child returns from vacation.

 

Scholastic Testing Program
All students in Grades 2 through 8 are tested in Math and Language Arts via  Renaissance , a totally online platform. These progressive tests demonstrate a student’s academic growth throughout the school year. Due to the nature of the testing, students must be present in school during each of the test periods listed below.
