School Hours

Parents, please help us set your students up for success by getting them to school on time. School doors open at 6:50. Remember that all students have free breakfast & lunch this year! Students arriving to school at 7:40 have missed a full 20 minutes of instruction. This could more than half of the instruction time for their first class that day.

School starts at 7:20 am and students are tardy after 7:25. Every minute of instruction counts! Dismissal is at 3:05.

Important Information To Help Your Student At Home!

You may have noticed that your student does not have daily homework. The only time a student should have homework is to make-up missed work from an absence or work that was not completed in class.

Here are some suggestions if you want your student to have extra practice.

Read daily for at least 20 minutes
Practice fact fluency (multiplication & division)
Check out Sora, our online digital library.
Studyjams.com - Science review and extra practice.

Make-up missed work from an absence or work that was not completed in class will be considered homework. If your student was absent they have the number of days they were out to return missed work. For example, if your student was sick and missed two days of school, they have two days to complete the work they missed while they were out. It is the students responsibility to ask for makeup work.

We love to celebrate birthdays! Birthday celebrations will take place at the end of the day, on the last day of the week, so instruction is not disrupted. If you will leave any items you want to share with the class in the front, the office will make sure to get them to your child's class.
