What do I do if my child is going to be absent or late to school?
We have a 24-hour voice mail system. Simply call 425-431-7864, extension 1 as soon as you know that your child is going to be absent or tardy. It's best if you call before 8:00 am.

What about early dismissals from school?
If you need to pick up your child early from school, you need to come into the office and sign out your child for the day. As you are signing out your child, we will contact the classroom to have your child sent to the office. Teachers like a "heads-up" note from the parent to let them know about an early dismissal so the student can be ready with backpack and coat in hand when they get the call from the office.

What happens if my child forgets his/her lunch or lunch money?
It is very important for parents to monitor their child's lunch situation, especially regarding hot lunch.  A student who is without a lunch or lunch "tickets" for any reason will be given a sack lunch from our school foodservice staff.  We ask that students not use the school telephone to call home for a lunch.

Use of school telephone & going home with friends
It can be fun to go home with a friend after school. However, students need to make these arrangements from home the night before. It takes time to verify that a student has permission to accompany another student home on the bus, or ride home with another parent, etc. To give your child permission to go home with another student, simply send a note (with bus # or parent driver name) -- this alleviates a lot of the "end of the day confusion"

Dropping offs, pickups, and parking at school
Our parking is limited and we need your help to make sure students are safe.  When dropping off or picking up your child, please drive through the circle and drop your child off or pick your child up by the flag pole near the Flex Room and main office.  Always pull forward to furthest cone ahead.  We have busses coming and going throughout the day. It is important they have clear access into and out of the school.  Parking is not available in or near the bus driveway on the side of the school at any time during the day.
