Student Information Forms are included in your parent packet at the beginning of the school year. Please complete and return the form to your child's teacher. Notify the school secretary during the year if a change occurs.
The school office must have each parent’s current address and telephone number at all times for emergency purposes. Please notify the office immediately whenever a change occurs. Current information is crucial in the event of emergency or sickness . In case the parent cannot be reached, the name and telephone number of someone who will be able to assist should also be kept current and on file in the office.

During the school hours of 8:00 AM and 3:00 PM, parents and all other school visitors will need to enter the building through the school's front entrance and check-in at the office. Please don't knock on outside doors and expect teachers to leave classrooms to open doors. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding. We have not experienced any problems but feel that increased security will enable us to continue providing a safe and orderly learning environment. We look forward to all visitors entering the school's front doors. (Be sure to park in a parking lot, not the bus circle at the front of the gym.) |

If your child's mode of transportation should change, you must send a note with your child. We can not take these changes over the phone. If there is a bus change, you must arrange that through the bus office with Mrs. Curry directly at 482-4959.
Students should not be dropped off in the mornings at the office entrance unless it is after 8:00 AM when students are tardy. An adult should walk the child into the building when they are tardy. This request is for your child's safety. |

dress that disrupts the school environment will not be tolerated.

black, navy and light blue. No logos, other than Great Falls Elementary
School logos, are allowed on collared shirts.

we are requesting that parents refrain from purchasing "rolling" book
bags (book bags on wheels) unless absolutely necessary for your
child's health.

Students should not transport medication of any kind, prescribed or over-the-counter, to school. Parents or another responsible adult should bring medicine to the office or to the clinic. Medication that is to be given for more than 15 days requires a form to be completed by the student’s doctor.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to become school volunteers or mentors. Volunteers may assist in the media center, assist in the classroom, or work in the office. Mentors volunteer their time to work with a student once a week. The mentor is a friend to the student. Together, they experience a very special relationship in which ideas, goals, and dreams are shared. If you are interested in becoming a school volunteer or mentor, please call. Your interest and involvement are always appreciated. |
