Student Handbook

 
 The Signal Hill School Handbook
 

Welcome to Signal Hill School! This handbook has been designed to provide each Signal Hill student and parent with a tool for accessing information about our school. The student caopy of the handbook, lists the same important school rules. Students are expected to record all assignments and parents and teachers can communicate as needed. All students in grades two through five are expected to use this assignment book to record daily homework. If this book is lost during the year, students can purchase a replacement at the School Store.
