Q When is the start/end of the school year?  When are the school vacations? 
A Please see the school calendar web page.

Q What time do the students get out on an early release day?
A Students are excused at 11:45 pm. Buses leave at approximately 11:55.


Q What do I do if my child is sick/absent or will be tardy?

A Please call the school office. You may call at anytime BEFORE 8:30 am of the day that your child will be absent or tardy. Please leave a message indicating the child's name, grade and reason for the absence / tardy.


Q How do I get my child’s homework when they are absent?

A You may call and leave a voice-mail message with their teacher (for a complete teacher listing, please see the website). Homework can be sent home with a sibling or another student that you specify.


Q How does the Lunch Account work?

A The lunch account works like a savings account. You must deposit money into the account and then your children deduct from the balance when they have lunch or milk. Each month you will receive a statement showing what has been deducted from the account. The ending balance is NOT the amount you owe. It only shows what is left or how much you have overdrawn the account. It is important to keep money in the account at all times. If there is money left at the end of the year, it can be carried over to the next year (if there will be no student here to carry over to, the balance, if any, will be refunded to you).  You may monitor your account on line by clicking the link on the Home page.  You will need to know your Family ID # and your PIN (usually the last four digits of your home phone number).


Q What is the bus company’s phone number?
A Dousman Transport’s number is 262-966-9690.


Q How do I know if school is closed due to weather conditions?
