PARENT TIP

If you call and let the office know ahead of time that your child will be absent, you WILL NOT be notified by the phone system that they are gone from school. The notifications are only for when your child misses school and the office isn’t aware of the absence. (See more tips)

If your child is absent, please call the office and report the absence. Please indicate if the absence is an illness or for some other reason (personal, funeral, out of town, etc.).

Per Bonneville District #93 Policy Excused Absences: Absences from school with the knowledge and approval of a student’s parent/guardian are excused absences, but such absences are counted toward the maximum number of absences allowed per grading period. 

In order for  an absence to be excused, an adequate acceptable written or oral excuse must be provided by the student’s parent/guardian within 48 hours of the last day of the absence, except for school approved activity absences.

Students should have no more that 6 total absences from school/class during a grading period.

Please use the loop on the east side of the school for dropping off and picking up students.

For the safety of students and teachers, we ask that you not use the main parking lot unless you are coming to the school.

Please pull as far forward as you can and have students exit the curbside door quickly to keep the flow of traffic going. 

Contacting Teachers

Best way to contact teachers

Is through their email address. If you don’t have their email, click here to look them up or contact the front office.

The best way to contact teachers is through their email. Please be aware that during instruction time, phone calls will not be transferred to the classroom. You are welcome to leave a message with the office and a teacher will respond at their earliest convenience. If you need to speak with a staff member, please be courteous of their personal time and contact them about school business during school hours.

Student Messages

Special arrangements or messages should be given to your child before your child comes to school. We understand that on rare occasions you will need to get messages to your student. Messages are delivered at 2:00pm (except for morning Kindergarten). Please be aware that any messages that are called in after 1:45 are not guaranteed to be delivered to the student.

Recess

Z

Recess is held outside on the playground

Be sure to dress your children for the weather conditions.

Recess is held outside on the playground, even during the winter months. Parents have the responsibility to assure that students are prepared for the temperatures of an Idaho winter.

On days when the temperature is zero degrees Fahrenheit or lower, students will be allowed to remain indoors during lunch and recess. Snow, rain, and wind-chill are considered factors and left up to the discretion of the administration on whether students should remain indoors.

A parent may request that a student who is returning from a verified illness be retained indoors for a maximum of two days. Commencing the 3rd day, a doctor’s statement must be submitted requesting the student remain indoors. If not submitted, the student will be required to take outside recess and lunch breaks.
