Morning Arrival:

Students need to learn the importance of regular school attendance and reporting to school on time. Any student arriving to school after 8:20/8:35 a.m. is tardy. They must report to the office to sign in and receive a pass to be admitted to the classroom.

We understand that the limited parking is an inconvenience; therefore, you are strongly encouraged to drop off your child in front of the school. We ask your support in ensuring maximum safety for all students.

Supervision from 7:40 a.m. – 8:25 a.m. is provided for those students who wish to have breakfast at school. Students should report directly to the cafeteria.

Parents/guardians will not be allowed in the cafeteria during breakfast time. Only during the first week days of school will parents/guardians be allowed to walk students to the cafeteria/classroom.

After breakfast, students in a “designated” grade must line up outside their classrooms. Students in other grades will remain in the cafeteria.   At no time are students permitted to roam the building.  

Late Arrival:

Students must learn the importance of regular school attendance and reporting to school on time. Students arriving to school after 8:20 for K-1st and after 8:35 for 2nd-5th are considered tardy. Students who are tardy must report to the Main Office or Security Desk to secure a pass for admittance to class. Excessive tardies may result in loss of privileges, detention, parent conference and attendance review committee meetings with administration.

Dismissal:

All students will be dismissed through the front doors of the building. Students must leave the school grounds immediately after dismissal. Parents/guardians who pick up their children must do so promptly by 1:50 p.m. and/or 3:05 p.m.

After dismissal, there is no adult supervision for students. Children in Pre-K -1st grade who are dismissed 1:50 p.m. cannot be kept in classrooms or in the Main Office until older siblings are dismissed at 3:05 p.m. The After School Care program’s “Story Hour” is especially designed for students in Pre-K through 1st grade who only require supervision from 1:50- 3:05 p.m. Please contact the After School Care office for more information.
