FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL ONLY:

Students will meet their teachers in the gym each morning the first week of school.  

Arriving at School (Begins Monday, August 27th)

  • There will be NO supervision of students prior to 7:45 am each day.
  • The only students who may enter the building before the bell rings are those going to breakfast (served from 7:30-7:45 everyday).
  • For the safety of your child, we ask adults to drop students off and not enter the building.
  • Beginning at 7:45 am students will go directly to their classrooms.
  • ECE parents are to use the classroom (exterior doors) to drop off their child and sign them in.

 Bell Schedule

  • 7:55 a.m.: This first bell is a “5-minute reminder”
  • 8:00 a.m.: This second bell indicates “school starts”
  • 8:01 a.m. : Students arriving after this time must check in at the main office and receive a green tardy pass.
  • 3:00 p.m.: At the dismissal bell, students are released from school for the day through their designated doors to the playground and/or bus area.
  • Supervision ends at 3:15 p.m. Please be on time for pick up.

Hug-n-Go Lane

If driving your student to/from school, use our “Hug-N-Go” lane on Lima Street (east loading area) beginning at 7:30 am. No Hug-N-Go in the afternoon. Parents are to pick up students on the playground.

Please follow all traffic considerations:

  • Stay in your car at all times
  • Pull all the way forward
  • Refrain from texting or talking on cell phone
  • Do not block the Fire Lane

 

Fondly,

Principal Schuba & Assistant Principal Caleb
