Our Safety Line program is in operation in order to verify student absences. The Safety Line phone number is a voice mail box. Therefore, you may call AT ANY TIME. Please try to call your information in by 8:30am since your messages are picked up by a Safety Line volunteer at that time.

If your child is going to be absent or tardy for any reason, please call the safety line phone number (248.674.5919) and give the following information:

• Your child’s name and teacher (or room number)

• The date(s) of the absence

• The reason for the absence (if illness, specify type of illness)

Remember the Safety Line voice mail is available anytime to report your child’s absence. Your cooperation in using the Safety Line is greatly appreciated.

Emergency Dismissal Procedure

On rare occasions, for instance when mechanical failures occur in a school building or when inclement weather develops after school is in session for the day, it may become necessary to dismiss school early. Check the Waterford School District Urgent School Information Page for details.

Our school operates a telephone fan-out system which is activated as soon as the office is notified there has been a change in the normal dismissal time.

It is imperative that you discuss the possibility of early dismissal thoroughly with your children and make certain they know where to go when you are not at home.
