When my child misses school should I send a written excuse?

Yes, please.  I would like a written excuse.  It states in our 
handbook, "Teachers are not obliged to administer make-up tests 
to an absent pupil unless the student's absence was due to 
illness or some grave reason."  Please make sure I am aware of 
the reason for absence.

Do I need to call the office for my child's assignments?

When your child is absent, please call the office by 8:30 or 9:00 
so I can be aware and write the assignments as we go.  I do 
expect the student to be responsible for the missed work.

What time should my child arrive for school?

The first bell rings at 7:45.  I begin our day at this time.  The 
children begin their morning work at the first bell.  On Mass 
days I line the children up and lock the room right after the 
first bell.

When is a good time to meet with you?

Please make an appointment so I can be prepared and give you my 
full attention.  If you try to meet with me during school (7:30-
3:00) I will not be able to take care of my students and help you 
at the same time.  Please send a note or call me through the 
office or at home to make an appointment.
