Reminders
- Students not picked up on time for extracurricular events will not be able to stay after school.
- ALL visitors, substitutes, and volunteers at Kernersville Middle must show a valid government-issued ID (Driver’s License/DMV ID card) before being buzzed into the building and then will need to sign in at the main office.
- Parent/guardians eating lunch with their student(s) will need to sit outside at the picnic tables due to limited seating in the cafeteria. Parents/Guardians will only be allowed to eat with or bring lunch for their own student(s). We cannot distribute food to other students - even for birthdays.
- School starts at 7:25 am. If students are not in their homeroom by 7:25 am, they will be marked tardy. A sign indicating students are now tardy will be placed outside. At that time, the person bringing them to school must come into the office to sign the student in.
- Students signing out of school early must be signed out before 1:30 pm. We will not sign students out after 1:30 pm unless previously arranged and approved in writing.
