Morning / Dismissal Procedures

MORNING PROCEDURES

School starts at 9:25 AM.  Breakfast is served from 9:00 AM – 10:00 AM.

 **Students MAY NOT arrive at school before 9:00 AM.

 Morning Drop Off:

Walkers/Car Riders:  Students will enter the building through door #6 (north back door). 

Note: The back door will be locked at 9:30 AM.  Any student arriving after 9:30 must enter through the front door, sign the tardy book, and get a tardy slip.

Bus Riders:  Students will enter the building through door #2 (south gym door).

 From 9:00 – 9:25 AM, all walkers/car riders must report to the cafeteria.  Bus riders who wish to eat breakfast will be allowed to go to the cafeteria.  At 9:25 AM, all students are dismissed to their classrooms.

 IMPORTANT NOTE FOR WALKERS/CAR RIDERS:

• If your child eats breakfast at school, please make sure he/she arrives between 9:00 AM and 10:00 AM. This will give him/her enough time to eat and get to class on time.
• If your child eats breakfast at home, please arrive between 9:10 AM and 9:25 AM. This will allow your child to go straight to class when he/she arrives at school.

For the safety of our children, NO CARS will be allowed on the school playground.  This includes rainy/snowy days.  Students should be dropped off at any of the entrances (gates) to the playground.

Gates will remain closed to the school yard until 9:00 AM. Not students or parents are allowed on school grounds until the gates are opened at 9:00 AM.

 Tardy Students:

Any student arriving at school after 9:30 AM, must enter the school at the front (door #1).  Parents must sign the tardy book and students must get a tardy slip to take to class.  All time missed will count against the student’s attendance.
