to begin after this time.) Your children and your concerns require the total attention of the teachers,
and this is not available before or after school except by appointment. Engaging teachers in
conversation as school begins, during instructional time, is not acceptable. All the teachers desire to
have good communication with their parents. So please feel free to contact your child's teacher for a
conference time any time during the school year. Good communication is one of the keys to a
successful school year for you and your child.
TEACHER WEBSITE UPDATES: Parents are encouraged to visit the Teacher’s Corner pages on the
website. Each teacher posts information at various times throughout the year. Please SUBSCRIBE to
each teacher that your child/ren will have for the coming school year, and you will receive an
automated e-mail when there is new information posted. This will include back-to-school
information, as well.
VISITORS ON CAMPUS: All parents and visitors who come on our campus between 8:10 a.m. and 2:55
p.m. MUST REPORT TO THE OFFICE, sign in, and receive a VISITOR’S PASS to wear while on campus.
This will identify the person to both adults and students as a visitor with permission to be on our
campus.
SECURITY GATES: The security gates are opened every morning by 7:45 a.m. and close at exactly 8:10
a.m. They are opened for lunch and again at day’s end. If you are bringing your students late in the
morning, please bring them to the main office to receive their tardy slips. (grades 1-8) This saves
instructional time in that children do not need to walk to the Administration Building from their
classrooms and back again for their tardy slips. The main gate in front of the Administration Building
remains open until 8:30 a.m. Children are instructed NOT to open gates during school hours to
anyone. Please do not ask any child to open a gate for you. This puts the child in conflict between
what they have been directed and your wishes. You may gain access through the main office.
CAMPUS SAFETY: Please slow down and use extreme caution while driving on campus. Although
gates are closed for the safety of the children, we are a campus on the move. Children are traveling
back and forth from the school to church for various practices and rehearsals, and to the field and
basketball courts throughout the day, etc. Please follow all directives by Safety Patrol and/or faculty
& staff.
CELL PHONES: We are asking all drivers to please turn off those cell phones when on campus. Our
children are our treasures; let’s not lose one through distractions while driving.
EXTENDED CARE: Morning Extended Care is available for students in grades K- 8 the first day of
school, Monday, August 27, from 6:45 a.m. to 7:45 a.m. Mrs. Sandra Stafford will supervise Morning
Care in the Math/Science Room and will make sure that the students arrive at their classrooms by
7:45 a.m. and will escort the kindergartners up to their classroom. The Morning Care fee is $4 per
student. Students must be brought to the Math/Science Room and signed in by their parents. If
