Student Arrival
Curbside stopping of cars at the main entrance to the school is only for students of special needs or students with crutches. Please keep in mind, there are buses, including two with a wheelchair lift, that use this area. Students should not be dropped off at the school before 8:00am as they will be unsupervised.
Homework
Homework is a very important part of your child's academic development. Educational consultants recommend that the amount of time children should study every weekday should be approximately ten minutes times their grade level (Grade 2 - 20 minutes, Grade 6 - 60 minutes). Children should spend this time assigned each day studying, even if no homework has been assigned that day. If the school does not send homework, we would encourage parents to use the set block of time to:
- Watch and discuss a television show
- Discuss the evening news
- Read together
- Talk together
- Play a game or engage in some other cooperative project
- Build something together
Parents should contact their child's teacher if there is a concern regarding homework (too much or the work is too hard). Homework should:
- Be the natural outcome of a child's experience or activities which aid in developing independent study habits
- Help a child gain mastery of material or a skill
- To complete unfinished class work
Custody Orders
If you have a legal custody order limiting access to a child by one of his/her parents, or another person, please provide a copy to the school.

The use of electronic devices is prohibited on school property, unless authorized by staff. This means the use of any electronic device such as a camera, cell phone, personal entertainment device, game, etc. is prohibited anywhere in the school, or on school property, at any time during the school day.
