Reminder Lunenburg Academy is a Peanut Aware School

We always have great concern about the safety of our students on our back parking lot. Again this year, we are asking everyone to bear in mind the following:

1. Please do not block the lot during drop-off in the morning and pick-up in the afternoon. This means that at any time a car should be able to drive around the parking lot as the lane will be free from parked or idling cars.

2. If you are visiting the school and there are no designated parking spaces on the lot, please park along the streets.

1. If you make alternate arrangements for your child for after school, please write the teacher a note and inform him or her. We cannot simply take the word of a child that he or she has to go somewhere different. For example, children sometimes will tell a teacher that they have to take the bus to a friend’s house. Unless the child has brought a note, teachers will not allow that child to do so.

3. If your child is absent from school, a written note must be sent in when the child returns.

4. If you have to remove your child from school during the day, PLEASE let the teacher know as well as the office.

5. If you come to the school during the day to see your child, please come to the office first and let us know. If nobody is at the office, please identify yourself to the teacher on duty.

6. It is advisable not to telephone the school and leave messages on our answering service for your child. We cannot guarantee that your child will get the message. Instead keep trying until you get one of our staff.
