Reminders
from the School Secretary
-
When your child is going to be absent
or late, please call first thing in the morning. The school has an
answering machine that is checked numerous times during the school
day. We are concerned about your child's welfare and want to be sure
your child is safe. If they are absent without notice, the school
secretary will attempt to call home, parents' work phone and other
numbers on the student registration form to determine the
whereabouts of your child. Please be sure to inform the school if
there are any changes to your child's emergency contact numbers
during the school year.
-
After-school activities require a
permission slip for children to participate. If students do not have
a permission slip, they will not be allowed to stay. It is the
parents' responsibility to arrange transportation home for your
child. If they are riding home with someone other than their
parent/guardian, we need a written note stating who will be
transporting them.
-
Students may be dropped off at school
no earlier than 8:45am when the bus arrives and the doors are
unlocked. You are welcome to accompany your child into the
all-purpose room, however please do not enter the classroom areas
without making an appointment or checking with the secretary.
Exterior doors will be locked once all the children have arrived at
9:00am, at which time attendance is taken. Classes start at 9:00am,
and students are expected to be on time. Please try your best to
have your child arrive on time. Tardiness is disruptive to the class
schedule and students miss out on important instruction. The
secretary will monitor the door during the day. In her absence,
another staff member will be available.
-
If you are picking up your child after
school, please wait outside at the main entrance, or in inclement
weather, you may wait inside in the foyer. School dismissal time is
very hectic in classrooms and teachers are busy making sure students
have all their homework, notes, lunch boxes etc. before the bus
arrives. If you would like to confer with a teacher concerning your
child, please make an appointment or wait until after the bus leaves
to check if they are available. This will also provide you with some
privacy as well. All visitors entering the school during school
hours will need to sign in and obtain a visitor's pass.
-
Please do not
expect to have your child supervised if they are dropped off at the
school before the second bus arrives at 8:45am, unless they are here
for a special activity with prior permission, such as a music
lesson. If you choose to drop your child off earlier than 8:45am,
they will remain outdoors, unsupervised.
-
Food Service: Lunches, snack drinks and
lunch drinks need to be ordered and paid for in advance. Lunches are
ordered ahead of time and delivered to us through the Keene Food
Service on the morning bus. We do not receive extras. You may order
and pay for your child's lunches a month at a time. Please note, all
checks need to be made payable to "Keene Food Service."
