What do I do if ...
My student is absent, late, or needs to leave early from school?
Please check the Attendance link here, and call the attendance hotline at 778.4726.
My student forgot their homework or lunch at home?
Please deliver it to the school office with their name on it. We will put it out for the students to pick up. (Students are periodically reminded where to pick up forgotten items) We do not deliver to classes because we try to keep the interruptions to a minimum. Please do not drop off any iPads or other electronic devices.

Please contact the teacher. All emails are listed on the Staff Directory page. If you are not sure which teacher to contact, your child's schedule can always be found in your AERIES account, including the teachers' emails.
