Medication at School

We have had many questions regarding administering medication during the school day.  Please be aware that we are required to striclty adhere to the following procedure:

"All medication must have an authorization form on file which is signed by both parent and physician.  This includes Tylenol, Motrin, nasal spray, cough syrup, and other over the counter medicaitons". 

As always, we appreciate your support.

Student Dress

At Long School, we dress for success and safety. Keep in mind the following when choosing your wardrobe:

  • Midriff baring shirts may not be worn.
  • Clothing with vulgarity or profanity may not be worn.
  • Flip flops may not be worn during recess and students must wear socks with open-toed shoes while outside.
  • Shorts and skirts should be of a discrete length.
  • Fourth and Fifth grade students should bring a set of clothing to be wrn only for gym class.
  • Intentionally ripped up or torn clothing may not be worn.
  • Be sure to dress appropriately for the weather.

Back to School Reminders

Children may not bring any electronic devices such as iPods, mp3 players or video games to school.  We will not be held responsible for their damage or loss.  Also, unless directed by the teacher, children do not need to bring any toys to school.


Cell phones are not necessary at school.  If there is a reason your child must bring one to school, it must be checked in at the office in the morning and picked up at dismissal.  Cell phones are to be turned off during the school day.

As always, only 4th and 5th graders may ride bikes to school. Bikes must be walked in the school area and placed in the bike rack.  Please keep bikes locked during school hours. Skateboards, roller blades and scooters are not permitted as we have no place to store them during the school day.
