Absence Procedures

To report an absent child, call the school office or email us using this Absence Reporting Form.

Student behavior that distracts bus drivers is a hazard to the vehicle's safe operation, and jeopardizes the safety and welfare of all passengers. Misbehavior while on a yellow school bus or a Metro bus can result in disciplinary action for the student or the suspension of transportation service for the student. Read more about our requirements for student behavior on buses.

Snow days and school delays are announced on our website, local TV and radio stations, CPS' mobile app, and through automated phone calls. Assume school is open unless you hear otherwise. Learn more about CPS' severe weather and emergency closing procedures.

We welcome visits from parents, guardians and community members. However, all visitors must sign in at the main office through Lobby Guard and wear a visitor's badge. All visits to classrooms must be set up with teachers in advance (at least 24 hours) and observations are limited to 20 minutes or less to minimize disruption. Parents or guardians who would like a conference with their child's teacher must schedule an appointment with the teacher.

Tours are also available on request. To schedule a tour, stop by our main office or call us at (513) 363-3500.
