⏰Tardies

Students must be in their seats at 8:00 AM and ready to learn. Starting 8/26/2024, students not in their seats at 8:00 AM will receive a tardy. An accumulation of tardy minutes may lead to full day absences. It is Florida State Law that all students must be in school every day.

🍎Snack

Snack time is a daily part of our schedules. A snack is a small amount of food eaten between meals. Students may bring in a hand-held item like crackers, a bag of chips, string cheese or a piece of fruit. Items that require a utensil or dipping will be saved for lunch. We strongly encourage healthy snacks for our students.

😷Absences

If a student is absent due to a vacation, a special event, etc., assignments will not be available in advance. All missed worked will be provided upon returning to class. Students will be given 2 days for every day absent to complete the assignments. Please notify the front office via our online form, written note, or phone. DOJO notifications to classroom teacher will not excuse any absences.

🎈Birthdays

A child’s birthday is a very special time. We afford parents the option to provide a treat such as store-bought cupcakes or an individually wrapped snack for the class to celebrate this special day. However, we do not accept goody bags or balloons in the classroom.

🪀Toys

With the generous donation of recess equipment from HSA, students have everything they could want or need for recess. Please do not allow children to bring in any outside toys, cards, or items from home that can distract from their learning.

👔Uniforms

We are a uniform school and uniforms must be worn daily. Our school uniform is a solid red or white collared polo and solid navy bottoms. Students may also wear a solid navy dress. Harbordale T-Shirts are reserved for Fridays only. Students must also wear closed-toed shoes daily. Please no black or khaki.

All changes of dismissal must be made in CurbSmart by 1:00 PM that day. You can access CurbSmart online or via an App on your phone.
