Notify Us: Absence and Transportation
Absence Procedure
If your child will be ABSENT:
1. Notify the front office (765) 772-7000, as soon as you know the student will be absent.
*If no one answers, leave a voicemail with the following information:
-Student’s Name
-Teacher and Grade level
-Reason for absence (if sick, please specify illness)
**Please note: all students must be 24 hours without medication fever and vomit free before being able to return to school.
2. Send your student’s teacher an email or message via Dojo making them aware of the absence.
-If you would like to pick up homework for your child, please let the teacher know.
-Homework that is requested will be available for pick up in the front office until the end of the school day. *After school pick up may be requested, and the work will be placed in a gray bin at the front of the school.
Transportation Changes
Dear Families,
To help us keep all students safe and ensure smooth daily operations, it is required that parents/guardians notify the office directly of any transportation changes or early dismissals. If your child will be leaving early or has a change in transportation, you must call or email the school office. Any transportation changes must be submitted by 2:30 pm. We will not accept any transportation changes after 2:30 pm. Please let the office know who will be picking up your child if they are not riding the bus.
We also ask that you notify your child’s teacher, but contacting the office is a non-negotiable step.
This process helps us avoid missed messages, especially when substitutes are in the classroom. By ensuring the office is always informed, we can make sure your child is safe and accounted for at dismissal time.
Thank you for your cooperation and support.
If your student needs to make a change to their original transportation for one day:
1. Call the front office, (765) 772-7000, and relay the following information:
-Student Name
-Teacher / Grade level
-Transportation change
***ALL transportation requests must be submitted by 2:30 PM.
2. Contact the teacher via email or Class Dojo relaying the change. This is another layer to ensure communication has been received and confirmed.
*No students may ride any bus other than the one they are assigned to.
If your child needs to change transportation permanently:
1. Log on to your parent portal under registration and change it there.
2. Call the front office.
*Takes up to 72 hours for a bus change.
