Be On Time to maximize time with student(s)- Guests should be on time, as being late will result in shorter time with students. Students will return to class at the end of their lunch time to resume class.

Those who did not pre-register will be required to stand in a line and have their license scanned through our system. There will be a wait time and your time with your student may be shortened. Pre-Registration Info here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdCLBTs9ZRU-BRQls_he3qrUw8QihuZcF9C0GL-tvGRZ30vnQ/viewform?usp=sharing

Visitor Badges should be worn for the ENTIRE visit. Please have the visitor badge visible and keep the badge on for the duration of the visit.

Book Fair- The book fair is beginning on Monday, 9/11 and will end on Friday, 9/15. Students will have time to shop the fair if they have money and the fair will be open for both days of Grandparents' lunch.

Guests are not permitted down the hallways- For the safety and security of our students and staff, guests will not be permitted down the hallways. Please stay in the front hallway (cafeteria, office, library, picture area).

Please do not sign students out of school- Though it may be tempting, please refrain from signing students out of school. We love having guests on campus, but we have planned a full day of learning and attendance is important, just as it is on “regular” school days.

Attendance Information- All absence excuse notes/letters are to be sent to Mrs. Reyna in the front office. Medically excused absences will not count against the student’s perfect attendance.

Attendance Laws- Regular school attendance is essential. Absences from class may result in serious disruption of a student’s education. The student and parent should avoid unnecessary absences. Two important state laws—one dealing with compulsory attendance and the other with how attendance affects the award of a student’s final grade or course credit—are discussed below:

1) At the elementary level, students are considered absent if they come to school 20 minutes after the start of the school day or if they are checked out from school 20 minutes before the end of the school day.

-Upon returning to school after being absent, late to school, leaving early from school, or sent home, the student must bring a note that is signed by the parent/guardian that describes the reason for the absence

-When a student incurs three or more unexcused absences within a four-week period, the law requires the school to send notice to the parent. The notice will:

• Remind the parent of his or her duty to monitor the student’s attendance and require the student to attend school;

• Inform the parent that the district will initiate truancy prevention measures.

A court of law may impose penalties against the parent if a school-aged student is deliberately not attending school. The district may file a complaint against the parent if the student incurs ten or more unexcused absences within a six-month period in the same school year.

Notes will not be taken after notification is sent home regarding excessive unexcused absences.
