What should I do if my child must be absent from school?
-
We cannot emphasize enough the importance of regular school attendance. Your child should be in school every day that he/she is physically able. Your child will fall behind in class work and academic learning if he/she misses school often.
Parents, please call the school office by 9:30 a.m. if a child is going to absent from or late to school. If a child does not arrive at school, we want to be sure he/she is safe with you. When your child has been absent for at least 2 days from school, you may call the school office in the morning so that we can notify the teacher and he/she can have time to gather your child’s work by the end of the day. We will send appropriate books when necessary. You may pick up assignments in the office at the end of the school day.

What happens if my child has an appointment during school hours?
-
Please send a note to school with your child on the morning of the early dismissal. Include the time and reason for the appointment. Claude parents sign out their children in the school office before leaving school early. Your child's teacher will send your child to the office when you arrive at the office; not before. Please call the school office or send a note with your child if you authorize someone else to pick your child up, or if you have arranged for your child to go home with another student.

Help your child avoid any clothing displaying objectionable or gang-related symbols. Your child's pants and shorts should fit at the waist, and cover all undergarments. We ask that your child wear caps outdoors only, and not backwards or sideways. Help your child avoid wearing potentially harmful accessories like spiked jewelry or oversize earrings.

What if my child needs to take medicine at school?
-
The school nurse may administer medication only if she has a signed parent consent allowing this. You may request this form in the school office. We ask that you list emergency contact numbers. Please list at least two persons to contact in the event of student illness or injury; and review or update forms as needed or requested.
We do not allow students to have prescription or over-the-counter medicines in their possession. Please give all medicines to the nurse for proper handling and dispensing. Prescription medication must be in the current pharmacy container, labeled with your child's name and correct dosage instructions. We ask that you and your child handle over-the-counter medicines in the same way. The nurse will call your child from the classroom or cafeteria for timely administration of prescription and other medications.
