SCHOOL
POLICIES AND INFORMATION
School Hours
The school day begins at 8:05 am and ends at 2:50 pm.
The 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade students will be allowed in the school
at 8:00. There is supervision on the playground at 8:00 for the
children who come early. There is no supervision before 7:45
unless the student is signed up for Before School Care (starts at
7am).
All children will be allowed in the school if the temperature outside
is zero degrees Fahrenheit or colder. Students in grades 4th and
younger will have supervised playtime in the gym.
All children must be picked up by 3:00 pm after every school day.
If they are not picked up by 3:15pm, they will go to the
After School
Program and you will be charged.
Attendance, Absences, and Tardiness
Attendance is very important for your child’s success in school.
Please call (218-829-2344) or send a note to the office if your
child is not able to attend school. Unless it is an excused absence
your child will be counted tardy. Unexcused absences are applied
for absences that could have been avoided and for which prior arrangements
and/or approvals were not made through the principal’s office.
In cases of prolonged absences (chicken pox, measles, etc.) the
school must be notified.
Signing In and Out
When your child is either late or needs to be taken out of school
early please sign him/her in or out in the office.
Early Dismissal
If a child must leave school early, a written note must be given
to the teacher in advance so that homework may be gathered.
Doctor/Dental Appointments
Please make every effort to schedule these appointments before or
after school. If this is not possible, please make them at a time
when the least amount of work should be missed.
Vacations
Vacations during the school year are discouraged. The student
misses teacher lectures, science labs, student interaction, and
class participation which all help with learning. Simply doing the
homework does not replace the missed days.
It is the child’s responsibility to find out the missed work
and to complete that work as soon as possible. If a vacation must
be taken, please notify the teacher prior to the event.
Student Drop-off and Pick-up
Please do not park where buses park. Parked cars are
a hindrance to the buses. Please use the parking lot or side street
for the drop-off point to the playground.
When entering the school, please use the main entrance double doors. All doors will be locked except the front
double doors. Remember, all visitors must sign in at the office.
Busing
The Brainerd school system provides busing for St. Francis Catholic
School students. Students are expected to unload the buses on St.
Francis premises. A parent must provide a written permission slip
for students riding a different bus or unloading at a different
location.
Bus routes are published in the Brainerd Daily Dispatch.
If a child is to change their regular schedule, a note must be sent
with the child and given to the teacher before dismissal or a parent
may call before 2:00 pm to give us the change in the transportation
schedule for the child. If we do not have a note or permission through
a school message, the child will be sent on the normal scheduled
transportation. This is for the safety of your child.
