Question: What time does school begin?
Answer: The first bell rings at 8:05 AM. and school begins at 8:15 AM. Playground supervision is not provided before school. 

Question: Where do I drop off my student?
Answer: Please avoid use of the driveway, reserving it for buses, daycare, and handicapped individuals. Students transported by cars should be dropped off on the “school side” of Alcott Drive so as to enter through the main entrance. The parking lot is reserved for staff members and is not a safe drop-off site. Please exercise extreme caution at drop off and dismissal times as the number of children and vehicles in the area briefly is overwhelming. Please drive slowly and remember to never double park on Neenah streets.

Question: What if my child is late to school?
Answer: Students arriving after 8:05 AM should enter through the front door of the school. After 8:15, students must stop in the office to check in before going to classrooms.  Students arriving after 8:45 AM must bring a lunch from home, unless the school has been previously notified to order a lunch for that day. Please develop strategies to avoid repeated tardiness.  Habitual tardiness may lead to a truancy referral.

Question: If my child is sick, what do I do? Who do I call? What do I say?
Answer: Call the school office at 751-6955, ext. 0 to report your child's absence.  Voice messages can be left 24 hours a day.  If a call is not received, school personnel will call the student's home or parents' place of employment to verify the student absence. Make-up work will be provided on your child’s return to school.
