Please remember: It is important that parents call in their child’s absence or late arrival each day by 9:00 a.m.  School starts no later than 9 am.  We depend on accurate attendance to ensure the smooth operation of the school.      

Also: Please make sure that you sign your child in and out each day, and include the time plus your full name.  Finally, a two week minimum notice is required to terminate school service and close your account.  Thank you for your attention to these important issues.
