Reminders Found in Every Newsletter....
Building Security & School Hours
Parents are required to check in at the main office when arriving at the building. Similar to last year, parents and other visitors will not be allowed inside the building except for special situations or events. In these situations, a sticker visitor badge will be given to you from the office.
We practice a hand-to-hand exchange at the elementary level. If your student is arriving late or is being picked up early, an adult must come into the building with them and sign them out in the office.
School Day Hours
7:30am - Students should not arrive before this time
7:30am - Students are allowed in the building. Parent drop offs head to the main entrance (following Thanksgiving break). Bussed students continue to enter through Door I.
7:45am - Start of the school day.
2:15pm - End of the school day. Students must be on buses or picked up by 2:25.
Information on Tardy and Unexcused:
Students need to be in their classrooms by 7:45.
Students who arrive at their classroom from 7:50 and beyond will be marked tardy.
After so many tardies, unexcused or excessive absences, attendance letters will be mailed out.
A phone call goes to families at 8:45 if attendance has not been reported to the office. Please understand that this is for the safety of your child and for us to know where they are.
