Students are not allowed to use the telephone during the school day except in the case of emergencies. Forgotten homework, musical instruments, PE supplies, lunches or lunch money do NOT constitute emergencies. This policy is necessary to reinforce student responsibility and to ensure that school telephone lines may be kept open for incoming and emergency calls.

Telephone Messages

If you need to speak with your child’s teacher, please send a note with your child asking the teacher to call you. Please leave both home and work phone numbers and a time that may be convenient for the teacher to reach you. If you are not contacted within two (2) days, please call again. Students will be allowed to talk to a parent on the telephone only in an emergency. Classes will not be interrupted during instruction for phone messages. Be aware that phone messages left after 12:30 p.m. may not be picked up before the end of the school day.
