Extended Leave

It is the parent’s responsibility to notify the school of any extended leave (10 school days or more) that a student intends to take. The school reserves the right to test a student who has gone on extended leave before deciding on a promotion to the next grade. Teachers are not under any obligation to provide homework packages for students in extended leave. It is the parent’s responsibility to make sure that the student is provided with adequate opportunities to acquire and develop all the necessary skills and knowledge.

Tardiness / Late Arrival

Punctuality is important to the efficient running of a classroom. All students arriving fifteen minutes after starting school must proceed to the office to receive a late slip prior to entering their classes. Any student not following this procedure will be marked absent for the day, which will result in a phone call home to the parent and fine. Parents can report a student’s absence during school closure hours by leaving a message to responsible person.

Early Dismissal

Should a student need to leave school early, parents are required to send a note to their child’s teacher stating the time and date of the early dismissal. Teachers may not be able to provide homework if enough notification is not given. Parents are also required to come to the office to pick up their child and to sign their child out of school. Students will not be permitted to leave the school building by themselves. Also, parents must not approach classrooms to pick up children. The students will be informed to meet their parents at the office.

Any changes in daily routine tend to upset/confuse students, especially the young ones. If you need to change your child’s dismissal arrangement for the day, the office should be informed by 2:00 p.m. so that the message can be relayed to the child, teacher and bus driver. If a request comes to the office after 2:00 p.m., we may not be able to relay the message. In such cases, parents will be advised to seek other alternatives.
