Nuts and Bolts from the School Office
-
Absences: If your child will be out ill, please call 425-456-5901 or e-mail spiritridgeattendance@bsd405.org to report your child’s absence. You do not need to wait until the morning – feel free to call and leave a message or e-mail at any time. If your child is absent and you have not called, we will be making calls home to inquire about your child’s whereabouts.
Upcoming Vacations: If you are planning for your child to be absent for reasons other than illness, you must notify the school office in advance. We will ask you to fill out a Prearranged Absence form. This form is reviewed and signed by your child’s teacher and the school principal.
Lunch Accounts: Please keep adequate funds in your child’s lunch account. Checks can be made out to “BSD” and can be dropped off in the school office. You may also set up an account with Paypams.com, which allows you to deposit money and check balances.
Weather: As the winter months are approaching, please ensure that your child comes to school dressed for the weather. Boots and coats with hoods are necessary attire for our upcoming blustery weather. Please instruct your children that they must make every attempt to stay dry during the recess periods. The office does not have dry clothes for students who get wet at recess.
Student Drop-Off and Pick-Up: No matter how congested, slow and frustrating the traffic may become in the morning and afternoons, we must all remember that the safety of our children is our number one priority. Please drive carefully and watch out for our little ones! Thank you.
The registration deadline is approaching quickly, so if you want to participate please email Vivian.Donner@gmail.com before Feb 1, 2016.
