Call the school office ↗Notify the Administrative Office by phone or email by 8:15 a.m. if your child will miss school or class. An absence not excused within 24 hours is considered unexcused. A doctor’s note is required after three consecutive days of medical absences.

Drop-off is allowed up to 15 minutes before a student’s academic session. Students must leave within 15 minutes after their session. Notify the office in advance for early departures. All visitors must check in at the front entrance and be escorted on campus; appointments are encouraged.
