Student Safety and Supervision - Next Year

zoom_out_map

A significant number of students are dropped off daily before 7:45, some as early as 7:15. While we are excited to see your children each day, we do not have staff to supervise students that arrive prior to 7:45. Because of this, next year the front doors will not be opened until 8:10 every morning. All students need to be dropped off on the blacktop behind the school after 7:45, where we can ensure reliable supervision is in place. Students should not be on school campus prior to 7:45am.

Similarly, visitors must sign in at the office between the hours of 7:45-2:30. This is true for the entire campus. If you arrive to pick up your child prior to 2:30, please wait off-campus until dismissal rather than waiting on the blacktop. Students walk to and from the main building throughout the day and classes have recess in the afternoons so that space may be in use at any time.

Thank you for helping our students stay safe!

August Information

In August, families will receive staffing updates, their child(ren)'s classroom assignments and suggested school supply lists. We know it can be very hard to wait until then, but there are so many moving parts that we are unable to confirm details until then.
