Morning / Dismissal Procedures

MORNING PROCEDURES

School starts at 9:10 AM.  Breakfast is served from 8:45 AM – 9:10 AM.

**Students MAY NOT arrive at school before 8:45 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 9:10AM.  Any student arriving after 9:15 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 8:45 – 8:55AM, 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 8:55AM, 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 8:45 and 8:55AM.  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 8:55 and 9:10AM.  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.

Tardy Students:

Any student arriving at school after 9:15AM, must enter the school in the front (door #1).  He/she must sign the tardy book and get a tardy slip to take to class.  All time missed will count against the student’s attendance.

DISMISSAL PROCEDURES

School ends at 4:07 PM.

Early Dismissal:

There will be NO early dismissals.

Students will be released to their parents for early dismissal for doctor’s appointments or emergencies only.  Parents should report to the main office upon arrival at school.  The secretary will call the student down to the office for early dismissal.  The parent must sign the student out.  All time missed will count against the student’s attendance.

Inside Procedures:  

Teachers will leave the classroom when bell rings at 4:07PM except Kg. students.

***Please do not stop your car in the street to pick up your child.  This is very dangerous!
