Students are asked not to arrive before 8:15 a.m. nor remain after 3:30 p.m.; teachers are working and may not be in the classroom. Please notify the teacher and the school office in advance if you plan to drop off your child early or pick them up late.

What to do if your child has a doctor or dentist appointment

If your child will miss part of a day due to an appointment, please send a note to your child’s teacher or call the school office. Advance notice is very much appreciated.

Vacations and Extended Absences

Vacations and other non-emergency extended absences require written notification or an email to the office at ESattendance@lyncs.org (cc the teacher) with the dates your child will be absent and the reason for the absence.
