Notes From the Principal 1. If a car rider - send in a note - no changes to a student's transportation after 3:00 2. When returning from an absence - send in an excuse note the date the student returns 3. If going on a vacation - send in a note BEFORE taking the vacation because it needs to be approved 4. Make changes to emergency form on the computer ASAP - important to have updated phone numbers and emails 5. Return all paperwork ASAP 6. Review dress code - closed toed shoes are really helpful for playground
