When a student is unable to attend school, parents should call the automated attendance line at 644-1956.  This number may be used any time of the day or night.  Please report an absence to the attendance line before 9:00 a.m. the day of the absence.  Parents should give their name, the student's name, teacher's name, and reason for the absence.  If a parent forgets to call, the school will make an effort to confirm the student’s absence by calling home and/or work.  Please note that Wisconsin Act 239 permits parents to excuse up to 10 days of absence in a school year.  Students exceeding 10 days of absence for reasons other than illness, may be in jeopardy of being considered truant.

Feel free to join your child for lunch on special occasions.  Check with your child's teacher for their scheduled lunch time.  Parents/Guardians can purchase a school lunch by using your child's lunch account or by purchasing a lunch ticket in the office.

Student dress can be a difficult issue as styles evolve and progress. Students should come to school wearing clothes that are appropriate for a serious educational setting and are not disruptive or distracting to others. Clothing that displays inappropriate images, illegal or inappropriate activities or suggestive language is prohibited. Student clothing should not be low-cut nor expose bare backs, bare midriffs, or undergarments. Flip-flops and sandals without straps are discouraged due to their clumsy nature during recess play, when on the steps, and boarding or departing from the bus. Colored hair is not permitted at any time.

Work at home affords the child an opportunity to further practice areas covered in the classroom. Homework for primary students (K-2) generally consists of practicing math facts and/or reading for 10 to 20 minutes each night, to reinforce skills learned in class. Homework for intermediate students (3-5) generally consists of completing work from the day that was not completed. This may be 45-60 minutes in length. If it is any longer than this, please let your child’s teacher know, as your child may not be making good use of their time while here at school. Other projects might be assigned during the course of the year that involve homework. Timelines for these projects will be announced and outlined in advance.
