In Health,
Nurse Suzy and Ms. Lucy
As we head into the second week of school we wanted to remind you that our Main Gate will be closing at 8:05am and school begins at 8:10. Please head to the front office if your Gator is running late to get a tardy pass. Students will need to be checked in by a parent or guardian. Thank you for your cooperation with this new process.
Starting immediately, it is now required that children have a parent sign them in when they arrive tardy or return to school after being signed out. Additionally, students will not be able to be signed out after 2:15 pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and after 1:15 pm on Wednesdays. These changes are in place to prevent disruptions during dismissal time and allow our front office staff to focus on safely coordinating students' transportation at the end of the day. Any end-of-the-day sign-outs must now be completed before the specified times. Thank you for your cooperation with this!

- maintain programmatic choices for students creating future ready graduates,
- maintain campus safety and security personnel and,
- maintain class sizes with allocation to class size reduction.
