Visiting Parents
Attention Parents!!
Conferences: This is a reminder that parents must have an appointment to visit with teachers or staff members during the school day. Teachers and staff set their own appointments so we encourage you to please call the office to leave the person you wish to meet with a message to set up a time. Parents that stop in the office without an appointment will not be allowed to go to the classroom.
Student Tardies: Parents that bring in their students late after the 9:00 tardy bell will not be allowed to walk their students to class as it is a disruption to those that are here on time.
Phone Calls: Teachers do not accept phone calls during instructional time. Messages will be given to teachers and it is the teacher's responsibility to contact the person calling within a reasonable amount of time.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Gradebook Online for Parents
Dear Parents:
As you may know, we are transitioning to an electronic gradebook this year so if you do not see grades for your student (via Parent Portal), please be patient. We continue to work through some challenges with the transition to the new system and all grades will soon be posted. Please contact your teacher directly for an update on your child's progress.

Student Drop Off - Safety Concerns
Hello Occoquan parents. Please read carefully the following message regarding student drop offs at Occoquan Elementary.
Students who are not enrolled in SAC are not allowed in the building until 8:50 am. If you drop your child off in the student drop off line, please do not let your child out of the car in the rear of the building until an adult comes to your car to assist your child safely to the crosswalk. If your child arrives after 9:00, please accompany them to the front office to sign them in as tardy. Students are not allowed to enter the building unaccompanied. Please note, the lane in the front of the building is not allowed for student pick-up or drop off. It is for emergency vehicles and special needs bus pick up only. Safety is our number one concern and we would appreciate your support.
Thank you, Administration
