Arrival and Dismissal

Please follow our arrival and dismissal procedures to ensure the safety of our students and staff. Thank you!

Arrival

Supervisors go outside at 8:05AM. Cars may begin unloading at this time and students wait on the sidewalk. Students may ONLY unload at the crosswalk at the front of the line and be escorted to the sidewalk. Cars will continue to move forward unloading students until all cars have unloaded. Doors to the building will open at 8:15AM. Upon entering the building, students may grab a breakfast and will go to their classrooms to eat their breakfasts. 

Students are considered tardy when the bell rings at 8:35AM. Students not in their classrooms at 8:35AM need a pass from the main office. 

Dismissal

Parents / guardians must contact the office prior to 2:00PM if there is a change in dismissal for the day. The office will write out a paper pass / notification and keep a carbon copy in the office for reference. The pass will be delivered to your student's classroom around 2:30PM.

DO NOT Dojo or email your student's teacher. Teachers may not see those messages which then creates confusion and a safety concern.
