Parent visitation during classtime
The District ’ s preschool program generally operates on a limited schedule of two hours and forty-five minutes for each instructional day . Given the short instructional day , visits from parents during the instructional day for preschool students are typically not allowed . Exceptions will be made only on a case-by-case basis . Exceptions might include family emergencies , student health related needs or other unique circumstances that necessitate immediate access to the student .
