The school starts at 8:00 AM and ends at 3:00 PM Sunday through Thursday. Students should arrive at school by 7:50 AM and go directly to their classrooms.
If students are not in their classrooms by 8:00 AM, they must check-in at the office for a tardy slip.
What if my child is absent from school?
The parent/guardian needs to call the school office to report the child’s absence. If the absence is being reported in advance, an email can be sent to the office at office@smartinnovationsschool.com. Please state the reason for absence in both cases.
If the student’s absence is not reported to the office, the absence will be considered unexcused.
An office staff member will make “no arrival” calls when we have absent students who have not been reported to the office by the parent/guardian. Always call the school office, even if you have spoken to your student’s teacher.
