Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions: This page contains answers to common questions of students and parents.
What happens if I need to change my child's transportation home?
Please send in a hand-written note with your child to let the teacher know how your child will get home that day. It really helps to discuss it with your child so he/she feels comfortable with the change. In addition, it may be a good idea to email your child's teacher to let them know to look for the note. If this change occurs AFTER your child arrives at school, please call the office at 678-765- 5110.
Does my child need a note when they have been absent?
Yes, please send in a note with your child when he/she returns from being absent.
Can I eat lunch with my child?
