On the day of the parade, students wanting to ride the float should meet at the Lockesburg fire station at 2:20 pm and the parade begins at 3 pm.
Picture Retakes -- Monday, December 9
Picture retakes are on Monday, December 9th! Plan to send your students picture-ready if they were absent on picture day or need a retake. If you ordered and received a print package and need picture retakes you may send the prints back to school with your student and receive a replacement for free. Otherwise, you will have to pay for a new package. Please contact the front office with any questions.
Absence Policy: A Reminder
Parents, absenteeism is the greatest predictor of academic struggles. In addition, state law requires that compulsory attendance and the reporting of absences. Please be reminded of our absenteeism policies and procedures.
-If a student is going to be absent on a particular day, parents are required to call the school office by 7:55 a.m. and give a reason for the absence so teachers can be Informed and plan accordingly. Parents should not call or email the teacher during class time to notify them of absence, tardiness, or requests for make-up work. Requests for make-up work should also be submitted to the front office and picked up at the end of the day to allow teachers the opportunity to gather the work when they have finished with class.
-Excused absences are those that occur for the following reasons: personal illness, death in the family, family emergency, or absences approved in advance. Although we give serious consideration to the various circumstances for absences, the school ultimately decides whether an absence is excused or not. Submitting a doctor’s note to the front office is one way to request an excuse for an absence, but it does not guarantee approval. Students with unexcused absences may not be granted full credit for their make-up work.
Thanks in advance for helping ensure students miss as little school as possible and are here on time.
Service Hours Opportunity
There is an off-campus service hours opportunity with the Salvation Army to ring their bell for their annual charity drive. See Mr. Smallwood if you’d like to register. Information is being sent home with students.
Bus Drivers & Substitutes Needed
We need substitutes who can help fill positions when a teacher is absent. We also need bus drivers to help transport students to athletic events and field trips. Please see the office for details on each of these. Thank you!
