- Please remember that school begins at 8:00am this year and the doors open at 7:30 for breakfast. Students are Tardy after 8:00.
- Dismissal begins at 3:00pm. If you want to check your student out early, that must be done no later 2:30pm
- If you drive a car to the school to pick up your child, the safest way for you to do that is through the car rider line. If time is an issue, arrive between 3:10 and 3:15 and you should not have to wait more than 5 minutes, under normal circumstances.

Restorative Practices
Reflective questions - When students have conflict with each other they will be asked reflective questions such as, "What were you thinking when that happened? How did it make you feel? What could be done differently next time?" These questions help students think about their choices, their responses, their feelings, and their future choices.
