Student Drop Off & Pick Up

Attheend of the school day, there are many parents who pick up their children from the main parking lot, and traffic can be quite heavy at times. We believe the welfare and safety of our students is our top priority. Please note that students are not allowed to walk to their parents who are waiting for them in parked cars at dismissal. All students must be picked up in the car line, or parents must park their cars and walk up to the school to pick up their child.***There is NO PARKING on the east side of Bond Street due to bus traffic.

STUDENT ABSENCES

When your child is going to be absent, please call the school office at 525-3208 by 9:00 a.m. Our answering machine will pick up your call before or after school hours. Please give your child’s name, teacher and grade level, and the reason for the absence. Please help us make sure your child is safe by reporting his/her absence. Thank you!

MEDICATION TAKEN AT SCHOOL

If your child must take medication at school, the district requires that parents complete a medication form to be kept on file at the school. Medication forms are available in the school office. No medication (including Tylenol, coughdrops, etc.) can be given without completed medication forms. ALL medications must be kept in the office during the school day.

Enos Reads 5 /Meet Your Teacher Night/Ice Cream Social and Enos Fall Festival

A special celebration for those students who have read at least five books over the summer, as well as our Ice Cream Social and Meet Your Teacher Night is scheduled for Wednesday, August 25, from, 5:00-6:30pm.

TAKE-HOME FOLDERS

On Wednesdays, we will again be sending home informational papers and forms in your child's Take-Home-Wednesday Folder. We ask that you take the time to go through these papers and have your child return any necessary papers to the school’s office as soon as possible.
