ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Here is what to do "IF":

You have a problem: Call your child's teacher and she/he will help you in every way possible. (Please do NOT call the teacher at home.)

You want to confer with a teacher: Send a note to the teacher or call the school to arrange a conference.

A student becomes ill at school: A student who becomes ill during school hours is taken to the nurse's office. If it becomes necessary to send your child home because of illness, you will be notified and required to provide transportation home. An authorized adult must sign out students. Students are not permitted to call parents directly.

You want homework assignments: In cases of prolonged illness, you may get this information from students who have the same classes as your child or by calling the school in the morning and leaving a message for the teacher. Homework needs to be picked up in the student's homeroom before 3:15 p.m.

A pupil is absent: Please advise the school by phone the morning of your child's absence. When the child is ready to return to classes, a written note stating the date of the absence and reason for the absence is a must. Students will not be permitted to return to class unless the above is submitted. Please make arrangements to pick up assignments each day your child is absent.

Lunch or other school articles left at home: Deliver them to the SCHOOL OFFICE. (DO NOT disturb classes, please.) Students have been told that all articles delivered from home are kept for them in the office. Students are responsible for coming to the office to claim them.

Your child loses something: The lost and found department is located in the school hall near the first and second grades. Students who have left things in the cafeteria or lost things throughout the school should check the department for the article. Articles not claimed within a four-week period are considered the property of the school and will be sent to the Catholic Welfare or given to needy students. All sweater, sweats, lunch boxes, etc., should be labeled.

You change your address or telephone number: Please advise the Principal immediately, by either calling the secretary or sending in the new address in writing.

You plan to move: Please give the school the information needed to forward a transfer. Transfer forms will be given to your child, but records must be requested by the new school in writing.

Phone calls and messages: Pay phones may not be used without the explicit permission of homeroom teachers. In case of an emergency, messages can be given to your child through the school secretary. Please call the school BEFORE 1:30 p.m. if you wish the message delivered.
