Students Requiring Medication

In order for your child to receive medication at school, the office staff needs to have a signed medical form giving the school permission to administer the medication. This applies to prescription medication as well as over the counter. You may obtain this form at the school office.   

Parent Expectations

The difference between a good school and a great school is the parents. You can improve your child's ability to learn and achieve success by helping your student at home and keeping a close watch on his/her schooling. You can improve your child's school year just by becoming active in it. You can help in the following ways:

1.     Ensure your child attends school regularly, is on time, and has eaten a good breakfast.

2.     Become a partner in the learning process by practicing and reviewing school work at home with your child.  Sign or initial homework assignments.

3.     Read all communications from school.

4.     Check backpacks for important papers.

5.     Attend all scheduled conferences and request a conference when you have concerns.

6.     Let us know if you must cancel or reschedule a meeting.

7.     Spend 10-15 minutes of uninterrupted time with each of your children daily.

8.     Call the school if you have concerns or information that will help us.

9.     Share your ideas with us. 

10.   Ask questions.

11.  Take responsibility for replacing lost or damaged textbooks or library books.

 Read with your child on a regular basis. This can be in English and/or in your primary language.
