Medication
If your child needs to take medication during the
school day, it needs to be taken by a parent to
the office and given to the school nurse. She will
administer the medication per your instructions.
**Please let us know if your child is allergic to
anything asap
Visitors
All visitors must sign in through the office. You will be
given a name tag to wear. This procedure helps the
faculty at Stewartsboro maintain a safe school
environment for all of our students.
Attendance
Coming to school everyday and being on time is very important. Please send
a note when your child returns to school after being absent.
Check-In/ Check-Out Procedure
