First Day of School - August 8, 2023
On August 8th, if you are dropping off your child, follow the parent drop of signs in the front of the school. Students will enter campus through the gate by the baseball field, just east of the school office. Remember that even though Phase 1 of our rebuild is complete, other parts of campus will still be under construction as Phase 2 starts. For this reason, we will not be at full capacity for parking this year.
If you would like to accompany your student on campus the first day of school, you are welcome to do so. Campus opens at 8:10 am and when the first bell rings at 8:25 please exit campus. From 8:10 - 8:25 am students may go to the cafeteria to eat breakfast or hang out on the baseball field. When the 8:25 am bell rings, students will line up in their designated homeroom spot and wait for their teacher to accompany them into the buildings. No students are allowed to enter the buildings without a teacher. We have several of our teachers on duty to help students find their way.
Please also join us for Meet the Teacher Night so you can see your child’s classroom and meet your child’s teacher’s on August 3rd. After the first day of school, parents that wish to accompany their student onto the field or to breakfast will need to check in with the front office an receive a visitor’s badge.
