Parents may walk students to class on the first day of school. At 9:50, the bell rings and an announcement will be made for our learning day to begin. The second day of school, all students will walk to their classes without families. Not to worry! We have a FULL staff of adults ready to walk all our children and monitor them on campus in order to ensure safety.
Please be patient with us the first two weeks of school as we work through dismissal. For our bus riders, every ID must be checked prior to students entering the bus. Once buses are loaded, we will dismiss them. As for car riders, we usually have a larger than normal line for all those students waiting for bus to start. We will get your child out to you as soon as possible. The car dismissal tag should be displayed in the front window. Parents without a tag will need to park in the front and go to the office for a new one. Students will not be loaded without a dismissal tag.
Please make sure your child's teacher knows how your child is getting home. If there are any changes to dismissal, please contact the office prior to 3:00pm.
Student identification cards will be given out and bands will be put on your child's backpack. Please leave the bus band on the backpack for at least 10 school days! Kindergarten students will have a bright pink band and the school bus band. Please help your child with the school bus route number. Please read the attached documents for more information.
It is very important that you have access to your child's Parent Portal. This is where you will be able to view your child's Progress Reports and Report Cards, test results, and bus passes.
Please also make sure that you have completed your child's Parent Bill of Rights, which can be accessed through the Parent Portal. It is important that parents acknowledge and declare in writing whether they want their student to participate in various educational opportunities and related activities, and whether their students may be provided healthcare and other services available to them.

Have complete access to your school's cafeteria menu right from your computer or smartphone. Click this link, or download the mobile app, to view/print your Café's Menu, monitor food allergies, and calculate critical nutritional information such as counting carbohydrates.
MealViewer allows you to customize your food service experience by allowing you to mark your favorite entrees and it will notify you when it's on the menu so you don't miss it! Once you create a User Profile account the site will store your school(s), allergen information, and favorite entrees. You can save multiple schools to your account if you have more than one child attending different grade levels. By saving allergens to your profile, parents and students will be alerted when an allergen is present on the menu. This cuts down on uncertainty and potentially dangerous situations for each of our students.
