Arrival / Absences: Please be on time. Doors open at 8:30a.m. and students will be allowed to go to their classroom at that time. Instruction starts promptly at 8:50 a.m. Attendance is critical for success. If your child happens to miss a day due to illness, please send in a note, so the absence can be excused. If you are aware of a day your child will be out ahead of time please notify the Homeroom teacher.
Dismissal: Dismissal is at 3:30 p.m. For the safety of all our children, we kindly ask that you do not walk up to the school to pick up your child during dismissal. Car line is 2 lines. Please arrive in car line no later than 3:45 p.m. Please know that it takes a while before the car line becomes efficient, so please be patient the first couple weeks of school. Any changes to the way your child will be getting home at the end of the school day, should be noted in the planner. Otherwise, your child’s teacher will be following typical dismissal procedures originally stated by his or her parents at our meet and greet the teacher night. If you have an unexpected change please call the office to have the Homeroom teacher notified.
Early Pick up: If you need to pick your child up early for an appointment please indicate this in your child's planner or e-mail their Homeroom teacher. Office pick up stops at 2:45.
