If your student will not be in school, please call the Main Office at 247-1880 or the health office at 247-4660. A message can be left on voicemail 24 hours a day. You may also email the school nurse and/or the attendance clerk. Your assistance with this will help to ensure the safety of your child and is also helpful in keeping the Health Office aware of contagious illnesses present in our school.
