What is the FISH philosophy?

It is a work place philosophy that the St. Tammany Parish School System has 
adopted.  There are four main principles:  Be There, Choose Your Attitude, 
Make Their Day, and Have Fun.  We incorporate these ideas into our classroom 
environment here in St. Tammany Parish.

How do I make a transportation change?

If you need to make a change in your child's transportation home from 
school, you must call the front office. They will then buzz our classroom 
and notify me.

What do I do if my child is absent?

Your child�s regular and prompt attendance at school is crucial to his / 
her success. If your child is consistently tardy, he / she is missing 
morning exercises that reinforce previous lessons and give extra practice. 
Some classwork can be made up at home. However, we do many learning 
activities as partner work or in a group situation. This is very difficult 
to make up at home. Please make getting to school on time a priority for you 
and your child except in the case of illness or an emergency. If your child 
misses a school day a missed assignements sheet will be sent home. Please 
send a doctor's excuse or note stating why your child was absent.

Can I send a cake for my child's birthday?

You are welcome to send a treat for your child's birthday (plan for 20 
students). Please send a note a day in advance so we can set aside time to 
enjoy the treats and celebrate.
