Arrival/Dismissal
Morning Car Riders: Drop off in back under awning. PK-K and sibling groups with PK-K, please stay on the inside lane (1) closest to the school. 1st-5th please stay on the outside lane (2). If you arrive after 7:25, please take your child to sign in at the front office. The back entrance will be locked and staff will not be present to supervise students left outside.
Dismissal: When picking up, PK-K and sibling groups with PK-K, please stay on the inside lane (1) closest to the school. 1st-5th please stay on the outside lane (2). If you have to wait for your student you will be asked to pull to the "Wait Zone" to ensure traffic continues to flow.
If a student needs assistance with buckling carseats, please do not exit your vehicle. Please pull into the safety zone parking lot next to the cafeteria to secure the students into the vehicle. This keeps our lines moving efficiently.
Thank you for your cooperation in these systems.
Student Birthdays
We LOVE to celebrate our students on their special day!! We are welcoming parents to send items in for the class to celebrate. You are welcome to drop these treats off in the office. If you wish to visit your child's class, an appointment must be made with the teacher.
