Absences
If a student is absent from school, he/she must bring in a written excuse on the day that he/she returns to school. If a student is absent for more than three consecutive days, he/she must bring in a note from a doctor outlining the reason for the extended absence. Parents, in the event that your child is absent, please call the school nurse, Mrs. Collins, at (315) 363-3650. You may leave a message if it is before or after school hours.
Arrival
Students should be in their classrooms and ready to start the day by 8:45am. Busses generally arrive around 8:30am. Breakfast is served every day, in classrooms, starting at 8:30am. Students may arrive at school anytime after 8:30am. Walkers/student drop-offs may enter the building through the door located at the side of the building.
Dismissal
Students who are being picked up by a parent or approved adult will be dismissed at 3:05pm.

Playground
Students are always invited back to play on the playground after school hours with adult supervision. However, students must wait until 3:45pm before returning to school to avoid traffic and movement during dismissal. It is important to follow the rules posted on the playground.
