FAQs
What Do I Need to Know About the First Day of School?
On the first day of school, students will need to arrive at their respective schools by the designated start time. Parents are encouraged to drop off their children early in order to avoid traffic and ensure that they are not late for class. Students should also bring any required supplies, such as textbooks and notebooks.
What Should I Do if My Child is Sick?
If your child is sick and unable to attend school, you should contact the school as soon as possible. You may be required to provide a doctor’s note in order for your child’s absence to be excused. It is important to keep up with missed assignments and make-up work in order to ensure that your child stays on track with their studies.
What Happens if There is Inclement Weather?
In the event of inclement weather, the district may choose to close schools or delay the start of the school day. Parents will be notified of any closures or delays through the district’s website, social media, and local news outlets. It is important to have a plan in place in case of inclement weather, such as arranging for alternative transportation or having a backup childcare plan.
What Are the Attendance Policies?
Attendance is important for student success, and the district has several policies in place to encourage regular attendance. Students who miss more than a certain number of days may be subject to disciplinary action, including loss of credit or retention.
