We want to remind parents and students that parents will be contacted and asked to bring appropriate clothing that meets school guidelines if the District requirements are violated. If a parent cannot bring other clothing, the student will either be provided an alternative to wear or be provided an alternative area to work until acceptable clothing can be brought for the student in order for him or her to return to the classroom
Students are required to wear student IDs at all times. Students will need to pay $2.00 for a new ID. Students who repeatedly lose their ID will have additional consequences as determined by the administration.

ParentVUE
All parents and guardians have a ParentVUE account that can be used to access important information about their student such as grades and attendance. Parents/guardians will need an activation key to log on for the first time. You can obtain an activation key by visiting the school office and bringing a photo ID. If you have a registered email, you can also request account activation online. Please visit /ParentVUE to get started.

Transportation
Sweetwater School is a walking school and does not provide transportation to regular education students.
Students may ride bicycles, scooters and skateboards to school. We provide an enclosed space/bike rack for bicycles. There is a separate container that skateboards and scooters need to be deposited in before entering school.
The school is not responsible for the loss, theft or damage to bicycles or skateboards.
Bicycles, skateboards and scooters must be walked once a student gets on the sidewalks on our school grounds, including the parking lot area.
In addition, for the safety of our bicycle riders and walkers, all bikes need to be walked on the sidewalk on Sweetwater Avenue between 45th and 47th Avenues. This is for the safety of bicycle riders and pedestrians due to the high volume of traffic on Sweetwater.

Visiting Campus
All visitors to campus must sign in at the front office, provide proper ID and wear a visitor's bage while on campus.
We encourage parents to visit our school/classrooms.
Please be respectful of our emphasis on teaching/learning by:
- Making appointments when you plan to visit. No classroom visitors are allowed unless prior arrangements have been made with the teacher.
- Leaving items that need to be delivered to your child at the office. This will minimize class disruptions.
- Limiting deliveries for birthdays/special occasions. Any items brought to school need to be delivered to the office
