The Day to Day //  Lamplighters Yeshivah Parent Handbook The Day to Day at Lamplighters Yeshivah Everything you need to know about our routines DAILY ATTENDANCE ARRIVAL & DISMISSAL Children are expected to attend class daily with the fol- lowing exceptions: communicable diseases, fever with- in 24 hours of attendance, death of a family member, and other debilitating circumstances. If a child is ab- sent for any of the above reasons, parents are expected to contact the school prior to 9:00 a.m. on the morning of the absence. If a child is absent without explanation, the parent/caregiver will be contacted to determine the reason for the absence. Morning drop-off is 8:50-9:00 a.m. The school building does not open until 8:50am. There is no supervision available prior to this time and the front doors will be locked. Any arrival or pick up prior to or after these times requires you to walk your child into/out of the school building. If arriving late, please sign in your child at the front office. Should a student need to leave early, parents/caregivers must come to the office to sign the student out. A staff member will get the student from class. Please remember that only you or someone you have authorized in writing may pick up your child from school.
