What is the county policy for appropriate student dress?
Go to the 2011-12 Parent Information page on this web site. You
will find the exact county policy there for approved dress for
students.
Should my child wear tennis shoes every day?
Yes. If we do not have P.E., we will go outside for recess when
weather permits. To stay safe, tennis shoes are recommended and
flip-flops should NEVER be worn to school. The specials rotation
is written in the weekly agendas.
Do you need help in the classroom? What should I do if I can help?
YES. You are welcome to come in and help any day of the week
(Monday - Thursday). Email me if you are interested.
What is for lunch and can I join my child?
Menus are posted on the Vaughan website and our 2011-12 Parent
Information page. You are welcome to join us any day for lunch
at 11:04. Adult lunches are now $2.75.
We will meet you at the greeters desk in the front hall at our
lunch time.
Please, DO NOT bring fast food in the restaurant's
containers or sodas.
What if I need to change my child's transportation?
Go to the 2011-12 Parent Information page to print a change in
transportation form and send it to school in your child's
homework folder so I can make the necessary arrangements.
A notation in the agenda is recommended. Also, tell your child
what they will be doing differently. Transportation changes can
NEVER be made over email. You may fax the information to the main
office at 678-594-8300.
***If your child needs to go on a different bus, you MUST use the
bus change transportation form on the 2011-12 Parent Information page.
What should I do if my child must be absent from school?
If your child must be absent due to their illness, please send in
a written excuse the day your child returns. If your child has
thrown up or had a fever in the past 12-24 hours, these should be
indicators to keep them at home until they are feeling better.
Student will be marked as unexcused if:
--no note is received:
--if the absence is for reasons other than:
illness
death in the family
a recognized religious holiday
The official policy on absences can be found on the 2011-12
Parent Information page on my website.
Will my child have make up work when they return from their absence?
Yes. We will keep a file of important assignments that were
missed so your child can have adequate time to receive
instruction and assistance in the areas missed. Work will only be
sent home to complete when absent more than 3 days and will be
sent home when the child returns. (If they are too sick to be at
school, they probably won't do their best on their assignments;
this is why I don't send home assignments until they are well
again).
Assignments will be due one week after your student returns to
school after an illness.
