SCHOOL PROCEDURES
Arrival to School
7:40 a.m. Doors open for elementary students.
- For the safety of ALL our students we ask that parents drop off their children only after 7:40 a.m. (students who walk should not arrive before 7:40). All students will be allowed into the school at 7:40 a.m. Please DO NOT leave your child unattended before this time.
- To ensure the safe transition of all students, parents will not be allowed in the classrooms or to linger in the commons area to speak with classroom teachers during this busy time. (Parents are welcome and encouraged to set up an appointment time to meet with their child’s teacher when needed.)
Dismissal
3:15 p.m. Students will be brought to the front doors.
- Bus students will immediately board the buses. Walker/car riders will be physically handed off to parents or other persons as designated. Parents should wait in the lobby area or outside for their children to be brought to them.
- If your child takes the bus home and you intend to pick them up instead, please make certain that you send in a written note in their homework folder to their teacher AND meet your child at the door promptly at dismissal time. NO NOTE . . .your child will come home via the original mode of transportation.
- Teachers will be focusing on getting their students safely at the door at this busy time so will be unavailable for parent conferences/discussions at this time.
Please respect this request in order to maintain a safe, secure environment for ALL our children. Please be patient in our parking lot. Drive slowly and ALWAYS exit via the lower driveway.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS ON SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
- On any school day that a student is absent, the parent/guardian is to notify the school office at 759-4002, before 10:00 A.M. on the day of each absence to inform school officials of the absence and the reason for such absence. The school has an answering machine to make this requirement more convenient to comply with. If there is no communication from a parent/guardian by 10:00 A.M. the student will receive an unexcused absence for that day.
- Parents or guardians are requested to make medical, dental, and other professional appointments during non-school hours. (If your child does need to leave during the school day he/she should bring a note to the office before school from a parent or guardian and obtain a pass to be dismissed from class. This helps keep class interruptions to a minimum).
- A child may be excused if a note is received in writing from his or her parent or guardian before the absence. A child may not be excused more than ten (10) days in a year under this section.
- When returning to school after an absence, students must report to the office before going to class with a written excuse from a parent or guardian indicating the day and reason for the absence. An email may also be sent from a parent to office personnel. If a written excuse is not presented upon return, a student has 24 hours to present a written note or they will be issued a discipline referral. For an absence to be considered excused, there must be a written record of that absence on file in the office within 24 hours. Even if a phone call is received, a written excuse is still required.
- It is the student’s responsibility to contact the teacher(s) to make arrangements for making up work missed during an absence from school.
- If a child accumulates five or more days of unexcused absences in a semester, the pre-truancy process will be started by the school district.
- A student must be in attendance by 11:22 (5th period) to participate in an after school program. Please note that school attendance is additionally addressed in the Extra-Curricular Code Handbook.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the attendance policy, please call Principal Lisa Lawrence (608)759-4002 ext. 305 or email lisalawrence@benton.k12.wi.us .
