Important Beginning of the Year Announcements:
Popsicles on the Patio: Join us this Thursday, August 3rd from 5:30p - 7:00p for fun back to school event! We will have free back packs and school supplies, after school resources, and our new T-shirt pre-sales. Stop by to double check if you are registered and grab a yummy popsicle! Everything will be inside because it's too hot on the patio!
Meet the Teacher: We are hosting a Meet the Teacher event on August 11th from 4:00 - 6:00p. This year we will have the same safety protocols where parents are welcome to be at school after they check in the office with their IDs (after 8:00a). However, we are not able to check in all parents during morning drop off, so we will continue to have the policy that parents must drop students off during morning arrival and are allowed past the office. This will be in place starting the first day of school. Meet the Teacher is your time to enter the building and talk to your child's teacher, drop off school supplies, and see the classroom! You don't want to miss it!!
First Day of School: The first day of school is August 14th! Our doors will open at 7:05a and all K-5 grade students will walk in to the cafeteria, while PK 4 goes to the gym and PK3 goes to the library. Teachers will pick up students at 7:30 and breakfast in the classroom will be served.
Bell Schedule: Every day our doors will open at 7:05 and students will be monitored by our Teacher Assistants. Teachers arrive at 7:30 and the instructional bell rings at 7:40a. Students are counted tardy at 8:00a and must be walked into the office by an adult as the doors will be locked. Pre-K and Kindergarten students begin walking out for dismissal at 3:05 and the bell rings for all other students at 3:10p.
