WHAT TO DO IF . . .

If Your Child Is Unable to Attend School…
If your child is unable to attend school, please call the office as early as possible. When the student is able to return to school, make certain that you send a note to the teacher explaining why your child was absent-- Even if you have called the office the day of the absence. Any undocumented absence is considered “unexcused.” Absences are “excused” only in the event of a child’s illness, immediate family emergency, or by prior arrangement with the Principal.

If You Are Unable to Pick Up or Deliver Your Child to School on Time…
Please call the school office and inform office personnel when you will be arriving at school. Come to the office to sign the child in (if arriving late), or to pick your child up (if ten minutes or more after dismissal time). Children are not allowed to wait outside for their parents without supervision. Persist late pickup will result in a Student Support Team Conference with the parent so that other options for pickup can be discussed. 

If You Need to Get A Message To Your Child…
ParentSquare the teacher to relay a message to your child. ParentSquare the teacher as early in the day as is practical. Messages that are relayed late in the day are often difficult to deliver. You can also email your student's teacher. All district emails are firstname.lastname@grahamisd.com.

If Your Child Must Leave School Early…
Please send a note, send a ParentSquare, or send an email to your child’s teacher informing her of when your child will be leaving. You must come into the office to sign your child out of school. Children are not allowed to “watch” for parents and go outside unattended.

If You Are Moving…
Be certain to withdraw your child from school if you are moving out of the Graham Independent School District. This process simply involves notifying the office of your impending move. This allows the office the opportunity to complete all withdrawal forms in a timely manner. You will be given a withdrawal form that will help in the enrollment of your child in his/her new school.

If You Have a Change of Address or Telephone Number…
Please notify the office of any change in contact information. It is vitally important that Crestview personnel always be able to contact you regarding your child.

If My Child Needs to Take Medicine At School…
If your child needs medication at school, please make certain that the medicine is delivered to the school in the original container with the original label affixed. A doctor’s orders must accompany the medicine before it can be administered at school. For additional information regarding medication at school, please contact the Crestview School Nurse at stacy.key@grahamisd.com.

If I Have Questions or Concerns…
Never hesitate to contact your child’s teacher or office personnel for any information or clarification. First and foremost, we are here to for your child!
