Fall Family Night!
We are so excited to announce that our Fall Family Night will be this Thursday, October 24th from 4:30-6:15PM! We will have outdoor games and Bingo! There will be limited amounts of families that can play Bingo, so we are offering three different rounds. The first round of Bingo will start at 4:45, then 5:15, and the last round will start at 5:45PM. We will also be serving hot dogs! We ask that families stay with their students as our staff will be busy running the games and Bingo. This is a free family event, so come join us for the fun!

Students with 2 or less tardies or absences have the opportunity to earn some very exciting prizes. We will also raffle off some gift cards to families with students who achieve their attendance goals.
So, plan ahead, get kids to bed early, and set an alarm so that we see your student here daily by 7:45am!

Drop-Off Procedures
Safety is our number one priority, especially in the morning! Please review our Drop-Off Procedures:
Do not park your car or leave your vehicle unattended in the Fire Lane!
If you would like to park your car and walk your student into school, please park in the designated parking spots. To avoid disrupting the flow of traffic, please do not park your car in the driveway. Reference the map for the driveway that designates the drop off/pick up area.
Pick-Up Procedures for 1st-5th Grades
School ends at 2:10 on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
Thursdays, school ends at 12:45.
To address safety and the business of the end of the day, we will not call students out for early dismissals after 2:00 (12:35 on Thursdays).
We still have students who are being picked up more than 30 minutes after dismissal. Students who are frequently picked up 30 minutes or more after dismissal will be referred to Safe Schools.
