Hey Mom, what am I having for breakfast / lunch today?
IMPORTANT MEMO TO PARENTS
When a student is late, he/she should be accompanied by a parent or bring a note from a parent. The note should include the student's name, teacher, date & reason for the lateness. Missing the bus or oversleeping will not be excused. An excused lateness is: school district busses being late in picking up, doctor’s appointments, etc.
A family member should call the office at 610-371-1166 if the student is sick. The student should bring a written / Doctor's note to school. The note should include the student's name, teacher, date & reason for the absence. A student is allowed 10 days of absences with a written note. After the 10 days a Doctor's note is required. Any unlawful absences could result in a fine.
A TRUANCY OFFICER will be sent to the house if the student is constantly absent and late.
Families, encourage your children to read 20 minutes each night.
The book could be in any language as long it is at the child's reading level.
Reading together is a great way to spend time with your child and improve his/her reading skills.
Parents and guardians, do you think your child needs help in reading and / or math? If you answered "YES" to this question then your child could log into Study Island to begin practicing and improving his or her reading / math skills.
