On Time Every Day!
School starts every day at 8:00 AM. 8:00 AM is the second bell. Students that enter the school after 8:00 AM are being marked tardy. These students are missing important community building time in their classrooms in the morning time.
Please plan to have kids at school sometime between 7:45 AM and 7:50 AM. We being our day with a morning assembly every day in the gym. If students arrive after 8:52, they are missing this important event. Thank you for your help in getting kids to school on-time.

Sleep Routines Are Essential
Sleep is essential for your child's growth and development. It is also important for their mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Students who do not consistently get enough sleep tend to have difficulty concentrating, memory challenges, impulsivity, and higher levels of stress.
