Students are to arrive no earlier than 0755, ten minutes before the first bell. Students are not permitted in school buildings before school hours unless they are under direct supervision for a special activity. Supervision of students does not begin until 0800 hrs. Parents will be notified if their child continues to arrive at school too early. Should the problem persist, the chain of command will be notified.
Students who do not ride the bus to school are expected to wait under the front overhang until the doors are opened. STAR behavior is expected. Students are not to play on the playground, as there is no supervision. This is for the safety of all students.
Dropping Off Students
Parents, our drop off line on the side of the school is for a quick departure. If you or your child may need a longer time to say goodbyes, gather belongings, or get mentally prepared for the school day, we encourage you to park in the parking lot to complete your routine. We want to ensure that we have a free flowing traffic for all parents and ensure that our students can embark from cars safely.
Thank you for making this morning transition smoother for all families, including your own.
Dismissal
Any changes to your student’s normal after-school routine need to be made in writing to the student’s classroom teacher. In the note indicate when you will come to take your child. Please come to the main office to sign your child out of school. To diminish interruptions to the classroom, parents are requested to wait at the office while the child is called to the office. Students will not be dismissed from school unless the office staff or the teacher has been notified. We cannot call students from class after 1415, parents must wait until dismissal time. The office will notify the student’s teacher to send the student as a parent pick up.
Please do not send end of day changes via email to the teacher or office staff after 11:00 a.m. Emails may be blocked or redirected as spam and will not reach the intended recipient. If you have not received a confirmation email from your child’s teacher or the office, please call to confirm. Dismissal changes will not be accepted after 2:00 p.m.
