It is very important, for emergency and administrative reasons, that every student maintain an up-to-date address record, parent work number and emergency numbers in the school office. Notify the school in writing immediately if you have a change of address, phone number (home or work) or change of emergency contact during the school year.

Recess programs help students develop physically and socially while providing an important energy release. Whenever possible, recess is held outside. Parents should provide appropriate clothing (coats, hats, mittens, scarves) for children for use on chilly days. Names should be on all items of clothing.

Playground rules will be explained to students by their teachers and are expected to be followed.

Studies have shown that children learn better when they feel comfortable about their appearance. School attire should be appropriate to the learning situation. Clothes that are distracting to instruction are considered inappropriate and this includes: T-shirts with inappropriate language or alcoholic beverages advertisements, extremely brief garments (tube tops, net tops, spaghetti straps, see-through garments) and items that denigrate others. The wearing of hats except for medical or religious purposes is not allowed in the school building. Loose fitting shoes such as clogs, flip-flops or untied sneakers can cause falls. Therefore, we ask that "secure" footwear be worn at school.

Please label all clothing that may be misplaced at school (hats, coats, mittens, etc.) Lunch boxes and book bags should also include your child’s name. Articles found in and around the school will be placed on the lost and found cart located near the gym. Found jewelry and glasses will be kept in the office. Articles not claimed will be disposed of or donated in December and June. Parents, from time to time, when you are in school, please check the lost and found cart. You may find something you did not realize was missing.

Equipment including games, walkman, beepers and cell phones are not allowed in school or on the busses. This equipment is expensive and can readily be damaged or stolen.
