- If I want to pick my child up from school, and they normally ride the bus, what would I do?
You would need to either send a note with your child or call the office prior to 2:30 PM to make us aware of the change in transportation.
We would prefer parents wait in their vehicle when picking up their child. We feel this creates a much more safe and orderly environment. Please lineup in the circle drive area. As students are dismissed at the end of the day, staff members will escort them to the green portion of the circle drive. It is in this area that the pick up takes place. Please do not park in the staff lot and wave your child to your vehicle. We realize getting in line may take a little more time, however a few extra minutes are worth preventing a serious incident.
If you prefer to pick your child up in person at the end of the day, we ask you to park in the staff parking lot. When you come into the building, you will be asked to wait for your child in the gymnasium (on left as you enter the building). Your child will be escorted to the gymnasium area and released to you in person.

- How will I know if school is delayed or closed for the day?
The decision to cancel school rests with the Superintendent of schools. School delays/closings will be communicated on various media sources including WZZM Ch. 13, WOOD TV8, and local radio stations. The delay/closing will also be posted on this web site.

- If my child is going to be late to school, can they still pick their hot lunch for the day?
If your child is going to be late, but arrive prior to lunch, you would need to call the office by 9:15 AM with a lunch choice of A, B or C. Lunch menus are sent home monthly.

- If my child needs to be administered medication at school, what would I do?
All medications, including over-the-counter medications, are kept in the clinic and must have appropriate physician and parent permission for administration on file. Forms can be picked up in the school office. All medications must be brought in and picked up by the parent. Medications must be in a container appropriately labeled by the pharmacy or physician.

- If I would like to attend a school fieldtrip with my son or daughter, what would I do?
When information is sent home regarding the fieldtrip by the classroom teacher, contact your child’s teacher to express interest in attending. Keep in mind, there are times when space is limited. Per state legislation, parents/volunteers are required to submit to a criminal background check. The background check consent form is in the main office.
