First Day of School Reminders
- School starts at 8:40am and gates open at 8:30am. You may want to come early!
- Dismissal is at 1:30pm on the first day. Please let your child know how they will be picked up (walk or car) so they know where to wait after school. On Thurs & Fri. there is regular dismissal at 3:20pm (1-5) and 1:45pm (TK-K).
- Be sure to check Aeries Parent Portal after 4pm on Tuesday, 8/13, to see who your child's assigned teacher is.
- There is always A LOT of traffic and very LITTLE street parking. Please do not park in the staff parking lot. Allow time to park and walk your child to school.
- For the 1st week of school, students in grades TK-1 enter/exit the Bockman gate and students in grades 2-5 enter/exit the Loop gate. This will help with the flow and avoid crowding. *see map
- Your child should pack a reusable water bottle and a snack. School lunch is available for any students who don't bring lunch from home.
- Please check your child’s folder when they return home. There will be a 2024-25 Bay Calendar that will have school hours, testing days and no days off.
