Attendance

ARRIVAL AND DISMISSAL:
School begins promptly at 8:00 a.m. We ask that students be on time since coming in late disrupts the teacher and the class. In the mornings a teacher will be on duty beginning at 7:30.
Kindergarten will be dismissed at 11:30, first grade will be dismissed at 2:45, second grade through sixth grade at 2:55, and seventh through twelfth at 3:05 p.m. Unless prior arrangements have been made, all students must be picked up within 15 minutes after the dismissal time. After the third violation, parents of kindergarten students who are not picked up by 11:45 will be assessed the extended day charge of $8.00 for that day.

TARDINESS:
The school believes that children learn responsibility by being at school on time. Tardiness is defined as entering a classroom after 8:00 a.m. A classroom tardy may be excused or unexcused. Excused tardies are those created by doctor or dentist appointments, foul weather, wrecks, automobile failures, or other unavoidable delays caused by emergencies. A child arriving after 8:00 a.m. must be signed in at the school office before going to class. A child desiring to receive an excused tardy should have a note to the administration from the parent explaining the reason for the tardy. A note from a parent does not guarantee a child will be given an excused tardy. A child who is consistently tardy and who has the same excuse/reason repeatedly may not necessarily continue to be excused. A child may receive three unexcused tardies per nine week term without consequences. Upon receiving a fourth, the student's parents will be contacted for a conference with the headmaster, and the child's citizenship grade for that nine weeks will be affected. |
ABSENCES:
Regular attendance in classes is essential to the success of a student's experience. If a child is sick or has another unavoidable reason for being absent, a written excuse signed by a parent must be given to the teacher when the student returns to school. If your child is sick, and you know he or she will be absent, a written excuse signed by a parent must be given to the teacher when the student returns to school. If your child is sick, and you know he or she will be absent for several days, please notify the school so that the class can show its love and concern by sending a card or note. If your child is to be out for reasons other than sickness or death in the family, permission must be granted in advance by the Headmaster.
Students are responsible for making up all classwork, homework, and tests, and will be given a reasonable amount of time (at the discretion of the Headmaster) to make up their work depending on the length of their absence. Although the absence has been excused, pupils will lose credit on work missed unless it is made up. Missed assignments may be picked up after 3:00. MPSA mandates that students must attend 155 days of school in order to be promoted (at the discretion of the Headmaster).
Doctor and dental appointments are to be made after school hours if at all possible. However, if you know that your child will be absent, please send a note in advance.
|
WITHDRAWALS:
No student is permitted to leave the school for any reason without being properly checked out. If a parent or guardian desires that his child be dismissed from school for any part of a day, he should notify the school office and come by the office before check-out.
|
PICK-UP PROCEDURE:
For your child's protection, we ask that you send a written notice to the teacher of any change in the regular pick-up procedure for your child. Carpools are encouraged. Please provide the school with a list of each carpool. Parents are asked not to congregate in the halls after drop-off or before pick-up time. Teacher will assist in loading and unloading.
|

LCS will provide extended day services for its kindergarten and elementary students. Kindergarten students may stay until 5:30. Students may purchase the cafeteria meal or bring a sack lunch. Elementary students may stay until 5:30.
