Phone calls to students can be disruptive to the whole classroom. While we discourage students from receiving phone calls during the day, we also realize that emergencies do occur. Please call the office of your child's school and we will take a message to deliver to your child. 

Call either campus to request to be put on the 2nd address mailing list or complete the 2nd Address Form. 

Be sure to fill out a school emergency card provided at the beginning of each year. If there are changes during the year, please contact the school nurse. The nurse will be happy to discuss any concerns you have and will educate the teachers of your child. 

For safety issues, students are not permitted to carry their own medication. All medication must be locked in the health office. All medicine, including over-the-counter, must be approved for use by your child's doctor. Call the health office for a form that can be faxed to your doctor. 

No. Homemade treats are prohibited by the Minnesota Department of Health. All treats, snacks, etc., must be purchased. Please comply with our wellness policy and provide non-food items or a nutritious snack.

Lower Campus: These arrangements are not permitted at the Lower Campus. Students at the Lower Campus who wish to make play dates should do so independent of the school.

Upper Campus: Both students affected must bring a note from home and come to the office in the morning for a bus pass. Students are not permitted to ride a bus unless they have a bus pass. Students must make these arrangements prior to riding the bus.

Check out the district site and link to School Cafe. You will find information on how to pay and how to monitor your child's eating habits.

All families must sign their child out. When you arrive at the office, just let us know who you are picking up and we will call him/her to the office to meet you. We ask that you please refrain from picking up your child between 3:30 and the end of the school day because it is a very busy time of day. 

Please encourage your child to leave a message. With the advent of caller ID, we get several calls each day from parents wondering why their child called. In general, if it was important, a message will be left. If your child is sick, the nurse will make every effort to notify you if he/she needs to be picked up. 

Upper Campus - 9:20 a.m. Lower Campus - 9:15 a.m.

Children arriving at school at this time may proceed to the lunchroom for breakfast

You need to fill out a Family Activity Form at least ten days before your vacation and turn it into the office to notify them of your child's (children's) absence? We encourage you to take vacation time over days when your children are not in school. The administration reserves the right to approve or deny missed days based on attendance and student progress. Denied days will be considered unexcused absences. For additional questions regarding vacation time, please contact the principal or school office.
