Attendance Updates & Absences

It is very important when a student is absent from school that the parent/guardian telephone on the morning of the absence (970) 535-4446.

Prearranged Absences: If a student knows he/she will be absent, the parent/guardian must contact the office. Failure to prearrange an absence may result in the absence not being excused.

Parents have 48 hours to excuse any absences or tardies. We encourage parents to obtain a doctor note to excuse the absence and submit that to the front office.

Make-Up Work:

1. Check Schoology for homework and assignments.
2. Collect any missed worksheets from the designated area in each classroom.
3. See each teacher upon return.

Parking Lot Safety

1. Drop students off on the West curb.
2. If you are dropping off or picking up a student, please pull as far forward as possible in the lane and only drop off/pick up students at the curb. Please don’t “double park” and drop off/pick up students. It is dangerous for students to cross the pick up lane traffic to get to a car on the other side.
3. The west curb is for “quick” drop offs. If you are going to park for an extended period of time, please park in a parking spot.
4. If parking in the lot, please leave space for kids to walk in between cars. Also, please be very careful when pulling away from your spot.
5. Please talk to your child about not running out into the parking lot to your car. Please reinforce that you will pick them up on the curb, or that they can use the crosswalk to get to your car in the parking lot.
6. Please stay off your cell phone in our parking lot.
7. Finally, please drive slowly and be patient with others. Don’t let frustration cause a preventable accident.
