Arrival and Dismissal
School begins at 8:00 a.m. School doors open at 7:45 a.m. for students. Please do not drop off your child any earlier than 7:45 due to lack of supervision. Students should be seated and ready to begin the instructional day when announcements begin at 8:00 a.m. Students arriving after 8:00 are tardy and must be signed in by an adult in the office.
Car rider drop off is in the back of the school ONLY. If families would like to park and walk with their student, please park at least one block away. NEVER drop your student in front of the building from your car, this creates safety issues for our walkers.
Students are dismissed at 3:00 p.m. Children must be picked up by 3:15 p.m. Please do not pick your child up any later than 3:15 due to the lack of supervision.
