PARKING
Parking is not available in front of the Glover Avenue door. This is a designated drop off area in the morning and a pick up area for the after school care vans.
Please do NOT stop in the middle of Glover Avenue to drop off or pick up your child/ren, as this will cause an unnecessary back up of traffic.
As a safety precaution, cars are not allowed to park in the schoolyard during school hours or at dismissal time. Students are dismissed into the yard and it is a meeting place. No person is to park, pick‑up, or drop off any student in the faculty/staff parking lot before, during, or after school. This is a safety precaution. We ask your cooperation in observing our safety rules.
REPORTING ABSENCE
If a child is absent for any reason, the parent/guardian must call the school office between 7:30 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. Upon return to school the student must have a written excuse providing the date, the reason for the absence, and the signature of the parent/guardian. The homeroom teacher keeps the written excuse on file for one year.
The admission procedure for a student returning to school after a communicable disease will be that established by the Quincy Board of Health.
