Arrival and Dismissal Procedures

  • AM Crosswalk is covered from 7:15- 7:35 am


  • During AM and PM drop-off, please stay in your car. If you need to help your child get prepared to drop off in the morning, please park in the parking lot. At dismissal, if your child needs help buckling, please allow us to put them in the car. You can then pull into the field by the school or in the parking lot to help get them buckled. This will keep our traffic moving.


  • Please do not drop students off at the corner stop sign. We have had reports of students almost being hit by other drivers. If you would like to walk your child to the door, please park in the parking lot or in the field to escort them to the door.


  • Our tardy bell rings at 7:40 am. Please arrive on time for school. We will start counting tardies this week. Our instruction starts at 7:40 am each morning. If your child is late, you will need to escort them inside and sign them in for school.


10 minutes late a day = approximately 30 hours of missed school each year.

Attendance Matters

Our School Wide Attendance Goal for the Year is 97%


Attendance Incentive- The classroom is working on spelling out ATTENDANCE. Each day everyone is in attendance (including the teacher), and the classroom earns a letter of the word. Once they spell out ATTENDANCE, the class will celebrate! The teacher will decide on the celebration in his/her classroom.


The winning grade level each week will earn a special dress-up day: Hat Day, PJ Day, etc. Teacher choice for Friday of the following week.


PK-94

K- 95

1- 96

2- 97 Winner!

3- 97 Winner!

4- 94

5- 96

All- 96



Instruction starts immediately at 7:40 am. If your child is consistently absent or tardy, they will have gaps in their learning.

A Message from Nurse Smith



  • Just a reminder: Attendance is essential to your child’s success at school! Throughout the year, there may be health reasons to keep your child home from school. The following guidelines may help determine when your child should stay home from school due to illness:

    • Fever of 100 degrees or higher in the past 24 hours

      • Your child must be free of fever for a full 24 hours without the help of fever-reducing medications (such as Tylenol or Motrin) before sending them back to school.

    • Vomiting and/or diarrhea in the past 24 hours

    • Itchy, red eyes with discharge

    • Rash that has fluid or pus coming from it until treatment has been received, and a note from the doctor states that your child may return to school.

    • Ringworm of the scalp (until treatment has started)

    • Head lice (may return after appropriate lice treatment) -Your school nurse will need to check your child’s head before he/she returns to class.


  • Please encourage your child to wash his or her hands often, use hand sanitizer, and cover their nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing. It is also helpful for your children to get plenty of sleep and to eat healthy foods, especially breakfast.

  • Always remember that I am available to assist you if you have any questions on whether or not you should keep your student home. We share a common goal – your child's health, safety, and educational success!
