NO EARLY DISMISSAL AFTER 2:00 PM
Students miss valuable instruction when they arrive late and leave early. Students who attend school regularly have been shown to achieve at higher levels than students who do not have regular attendance. This relationship between attendance and achievement may appear early in a child's school career.
All students should be picked up by 3:15 p.m. Teachers are off duty at 3:15 p.m. We have a large number of students who are not picked up on time.
End of the Quarter

Reports cards will be available for pick up on Monday. Oct. 21st. from 10:30 a.m.-11:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.-4:30 p.m. Please make plans to attend.
