Just a friendly reminder regarding absences and leaving early…
If you know in advance that your child will be absent, please remember to send a note to the main office  prior  to the absences; at which time the office can record the absence(s) and avoid contacting you for confirmation.  Also, please be aware that vacation days are considered unexcused absences.  
 
In addition, if you are planning to pick up your child early from school at any time during the school year, please send a note to the main office stating the reason, date and time your child will be picked up. Your child is to bring the note to the main office and get a pass to leave class. At that time your child will give the pass to his/her teacher, go to their locker, collect their things, come to the main office, and wait for you to sign them out. 
Have a wonderful holiday season!
