What if my child is sick and has to miss a lesson Or there is bad weather?

Do I have to stay in the building during my child’s lesson?

For the most part, parents do not have to stay in the building during lessons. However, please be prompt when picking up your student. Since the teachers have back to back lessons, they cannot monitor students after their lesson is over. Parents are not allowed to leave unattended siblings and parents of children with special needs should remain on campus for the entirety of their student’s lesson.
