Absence Notes – Parents, please be sure to send in a note each time that your child is absent from school. If he/she visits a doctor (or dentist), pick up a note at the office and turn it in to school (these types of absences are always ‘Excused’). Parents may write a ‘Parent Note’ or use a phone call to excuse up to 12 total absence occurrences (doctor’s notes are included in this 12) - After 12 doctor’s notes/parent notes/phone calls, only a doctor’s note can excuse an absence. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call the office @ 937.746.8969.
Communication – It is our goal at Grigsby Intermediate to maintain consistent communication with our parents. If you should ever have a question or need to speak to your child’s teacher, please contact the teacher via email (email is first name.last ) or by phone @ 937.746.8969. We look forward to keeping lines of communication open with you this year and we appreciate your continued support of your child’s education.
