Safety

We continue to monitor supervision of our students at arrival and dismissal from the Academy, on the playground, in the hallways , and in the gym/cafeteria. We continue to ask for your help in this endeavor so that “best practices” provide for your child’s safety at all times. If you are running late, a telephone call to our office (684-6484) is appreciated. Students not picked up by 3:45 pm will be delivered to OASIS to await the arrival of their parents and charged $2.00 until 4:00 pm, when normal OASIS fees will prevail. Children who are unsupervised by an adult will not be able to leave the building and wait for their ride. Children will need to be picked up or they will be delivered to OASIS. Our children worry when a parent or other designated adult is not waiting for them.


Your Concerns

Your concerns are my concerns. Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions or suggestions for improving our already great school, Ms. Parrish at 684-6484.

Ms. Parrish’s Notes

Important Dates

(See calendar for more information.)

  • Sept 7, 2010- First Day of School!

Parking Lot

This is a reminder to please use caution while in the parking lot before, during and after school. We have been reminding students to be cautious as well. We have had a few close calls involving students and vehicles. Thank you for your cooperation!


Uniform Exchange

Parents have donated clothes that their children have outgrown but are still in good shape. Please feel free to take what you need.


Illnesses

A child should not come to school if:

He or she has had a temperature over 99 degrees within the past 24 hours.

He/she has vomited in the past 24 hours.

With cold and flu season right around the corner, please help us keep everyone healthy by keeping sick children home until they feel better.


No Coats in Class

COATS are not to be worn in the classroom. If your student is concerned
because of the cool temperature, please supply them with sweaters and
sweatshirts without logos, preferably aligned to our uniform policy.


OASIS

The OASIS program sets aside time for playing to learn, homework help, craft and creating time. We also encourage social interaction on the playground, and during our Friday Movie nights. After school OASIS is open from 3:15 PM until 6:00 PM. Please stop in and visit Miss Mary for fees and schedules. Take advantage of this wonderful opportunity. Miss Mary and the OASIS Team are here to serve.
OASIS is FIA Approved!!
