PARENT DROP-OFF: Parents dropping off their child(ren) in the morning must enter the school from Mentor Avenue. Students are to exit their cars anywhere between the orange cones. All cars will exit onto Acacia Avenue. Preschool parents dropping off their children should also enter from Mentor Avenue and form a line. The line should be formed so that cars wrap in front of the parish garage, behind the east parking lot spaces, in front of doors A-D. Preschool children should exit cars on the sidewalk side of the cars in front of door D.
PARENT PICK-UP: Parents picking up their children after school should enter ONLY from Mentor Avenue. Two lines of cars should be formed starting at the church and wrapping around the staff parking area. A faculty member will direct traffic once the buses leave the school premises. The flow of traffic should go around the perimeter of the back parking lot. Students in K-8 will be allowed to enter the vehicles on the sidewalk side when cars are stopped according to faculty directives. Parents of students in the EERP program will follow the flow of traffic until they pass the second faculty member directing traffic. Once the preschool parent passes this faculty member, they can park in the parking space and walk to the doors of Farrell Hall in order to retrieve their children. No child is allowed to go from the school to the car in the parking lot unless accompanied by an adult. Please be careful and follow the flow of traffic as there are many children and parents within this area during dismissal.
TRANSPORTATION CHANGES: Parents are required to call the school office with any changes to their child's transportation plan. Please do not email or message the teachers, as they are not able to check email or messages while teaching.

dress codeSchool Uniform: Students in uniform have a certain pride about themselves that is reflected in their actions. Our students are a group of dedicated young people proud to be counted as Christ’s disciples and willing to try to become all God intends them to be. Our school uniform should be worn with dignity and pride. Uniforms must be neat and clean at all times. Please refer to the dress code policy for specific details. Uniforms may be purchased from Schoolbelles or the used uniform sale on Drop-In Day.
Dress Down Days: On designated non-uniform days, also known as dress-down days, students are able to wear clothing other than the regular uniform.

Attendance
There is a change in reporting absences to the school this year. If your child will be absent for the day, please email the school at [email protected]. Please be sure to include your child’s full name, grade level, and the reason for absence. If you know your child will be absent for more than 1 day, please state that in your email. Otherwise, an email is required for each day your child is absent.
Please do not call the school to report an absence. Since we must have notice from the parents in writing, an email fulfills this requirement of the EdChoice Scholarship Program.
Absences should be reported before 8:30 a.m. daily. In order for the absence to be excused, it must be emailed prior to 8:30 a.m. If we have not received an email by 8:30 a.m., we will call you to confirm your child’s absence which will then be marked as unexcused. You are still required to follow up with an email so that we have the reason for the absence in writing. Vacations are not considered an excused absence. Please keep this in mind when planning vacations for your family. Students are only allowed 20 unexcused absences with the EdChoice Scholarship.
Please provide a medical excuse if your child is out for more than 3 days.

Parent ALERT (Emergency Notification & Rapid Alert System)
St. Mary of the Assumption School uses the Parent Alert emergency notification and rapid alert system, through FACTS SIS/RenWeb, to help improve and facilitate communication with our families. Parent Alert will allow us to send out communications via text, email, and voice messages for all types of events. These alerts can be used for many reasons and will provide us a fast, efficient way to communicate with our families in case of an emergency.
