Uniform Policy
It's important that your child/ren abide by our school uniform policies. Please note, that while our district has a dress code, we follow our specific school uniform dress code.
Here are a few added expectations to our policy:
1) Tennis shoes are to be worn only with uniforms (Please no Crocs. While our students love them, they aren’t safe or conducive for playing. We had issues with students twisting their ankles and their shoes would go flying off when playing sports).
2) If your child/ren chooses to use a sweatshirt, they still must wear the designated uniform shirt. the Collar must show.
3) Minimal lettering on sweatshirts, pants, collared shirts.
If you have any questions, please see our policies attached and/or you may call the school office.
Cell Phone Policy
From bell to bell, students are expected to put their phones away. Phones are not allowed during the instructional day. Please our cell phone policy for more information.

Rainy Day Dismissal
As a school we are not supposed to send students outside if lightening is within 5-10 miles of our school. and we definitely don't want to send kiddos outside if it does rain or begins to rain.
During a rainy day dismissal, you will need to park your car. We ask that you please park in the parking lot or Iglesia Kairos and then you may enter through the front office to pick up your child from the classroom. If you aren't able to get down, please continue in the drive through lane, stay in the car and an adult will come out to get the name of the student and the teacher.
Again, please be patient as we will try to do our best to get your children as quickly as possible.
Thank you!
Safety Reminders
We would also like to remind all of our families of the importance of ensuring we are following our morning drop off and after school dismissal procedures for the safety of our students.
- There is one entrance and one exit.
- Please follow the flow of traffic
- Use the proper cross walks
- Slow speed in the parking lot
- There is only one pick up lane.
- If you plan to stay in your car to pick up your child, please know your child's name, teacher's name and grade level. We will have someone get your child and ensure they get to your car.
- Park in appropriate parking spaces (if you do not have a handicap parking permit or a license plate, you must park in the standard parking. Thank you.
- Follow expectations per school staff
- For afternoon dismissal if you plan to get down and get your child, please wait on the Southside of the crosswalk and we will cross your child/ren to you. When parents come to the sidewalk near the school and students, it's difficult for us to see the students and we need to allow our teachers to follow the dismissal expectations.
Thank you for your patience. After a couple of weeks, the routine will be much smoother.
