Students must be free of fever, vomit and diarrhea for 24 hours before returning to school. It is important that you report your child's absence by sending an email to ruattendance@dcsok.org. You will need to provide your name, child's name, teacher, and a brief reason for the absence. Please include a Dr. note if applicable.

The preferred method for placing money on your child's lunch account is through the Infinite Campus portal; however, cash and checks are also accepted.

We certainly understand that there will be times when kids need to check out early for appointments. Simply park and come into our office and we will call for your child after your ID has been checked. If you are leaving for a Doctor's appointment, don't forget to send your Doctor's note the next day so that we can code your absence as medical.

It is also important to note that three tardies or leave earlies will result in an absence. We ask that you avoid leaving early if possible.

PreK students are late after 8:35 and K-3 students are late after 8:55. It is important that you arrive on time, but if you are late, please park and walk into the building to check your child in for the day. Please do NOT drop your child off unattended.

PreK families: If the PreK door is closed, you are late. Please DO NOT drop your child off with the elementary duty teachers. We appreciate your help!

As a reminder, our doors open for drop-off at 8:15 for PreK students, and 8:40 for K-3rd grade students.

Anytime temps or heat index exceeds 100 degrees, students will remain inside for recess and afternoon dismissal.

Students will also remain inside anytime the wind chill or actual temperature is below 32 degrees, which includes recess and dismissal.
