Middle School Frequently Asked Questions
What time does school start and what time can I drop my student off?
School starts at 8:00 a.m. Students can be dropped off at 7:15 a.m. at which time the exterior doors will be open and staff members are available to supervise students. Students arriving between 7:15-7:30 a.m. will report to the Middle School gym where they will be seated until 7:30 a.m. At that time, students are released to their classrooms.
What do I do if my child is going to be absent?
If your student is going to be absent, regardless of the reason, you are asked to contact the Middle School Office prior to 9:00 a.m. on the day of the absence. If you do not call, we will contact you in an effort to verify the absence.
How do I request work when my student is going to be absent?
Contact the Middle School Office to request work. Please do not contact individual teachers as efforts to gather a student’s work need to be handled systematically. In the case that you request work, you will be asked to come to school to collect it at a time agreed upon by you and school officials.
What are the reasons my student would be asked/required to stay after school and what time should I pick him/her up?
Students may be asked to stay after school for several reasons including the following:
•Tutoring with a specific teacher who has requested that your child stay for additional academic support
•ELO (Extended Learning Opportunity) as a result of an incomplete ZAP (late or missing assignment)
•After School Detention assigned for violation of school policies or procedural guidelines
In all cases, students will be released at 4:00 p.m., at which time parents are responsible for transportation.
