~ SOME VERY IMPORTANT REMINDERS ~
- When dropping your child off in their classroom, please make sure you leave the classroom no later than 8:30 a.m. This is not the time to start discussing questions or concerns regarding your child. Parent-Teacher conference is coming up Oct. 23-24 and this is a better time to discuss your concerns. In addition, you can e-mail your teacher at any time and set-up an appointment, which would work better for you, the parent, the teacher, and the students. We really need to allow our teachers to begin teaching at 8:30 a.m.
- All (parking lot) gates close at 8:40 a.m. If you are planning to stay and volunteer, please move your car before that time and park it in the front lot of the church/school parking lot, or side streets.
- Anyone visiting or volunteering at Calvary Lutheran School MUST sign-in in the school office and you MUST wear a "Volunteer" or "Visitors" badge. Please see the school secretary for any assistance or direction.
- Students are NOT allowed to wear or bring perfume or make-up to school. Any and all make-up and/or perfume will be confiscated.
