What should I do if my child will not be attending school?

If your child is sick, please call the school SAS line at 814-231-1011, Ext 1171 by 9:00am. If you do not call, the school will call you to verify that your child is not in school. When your child returns to school, please send a written excuse explaining the absence.

If you know that your child will be absent due to a trip, please fill out an educational trip form two weeks in advance.

What if my child will be late to school?

If you know in advance that your child will be late to school, please send a note or email to let us know. When your child arrives at school, you must sign them in at the school office. We understand that there are occasions when your child must be late to school due to appointments, etc. However, please make every effort to have your child at school on time. It is important for kindergarten children to have a "settling in" time first thing in the morning to greet friends, order lunch and prepare for the day.

Can we send birthday treats/invitations to school?

We would be glad to celebrate your child's birthday at school. Please let us know at least two days in advance if you would like to send a treat to school so that we can make time in our schedule and notify you of any allergies in the room. 

Will you go outside every day for recess?

Weather permitting, we will go outside every day. In the winter months, please make sure your child is dressed appropriately. This would include hats, gloves, scarves etc... If your child is wearing a dress, you may want to send leggings that they can put on to go outside. I would encourage you to label all of your child's clothing!!

If I have questions, how can I contact the teacher?

You may call the school office any time and leave a message (231-1170) or you may send an e-mail (kef21@scasd.org)
