Early Release Day

We have 7 Early Release Days built into our school calendar. These are days when our students' school day ends at noon, so our teachers and staff members can participate in professional develpment. Our first Early Release Day is scheduled for this coming Wednesday, September 16. Students will be dismissed at 12:00 pm. Please let the school know if your child will be going home a different way than they normally do.

Safety for All Students

Please remember that parent drop offs need to happen at the Larkin Street gate. For the safety of all students and staff, we do not allow parents on the playgrounds during morning recess. Please say your goodbyes at the gate. If you feel your child needs someone to walk them down to the lower playground, we have a staff member at the gate to assist any student.

Walking School Bus🚶🏽‍♂️🚍

If you live on our Walking School Bus route, you can have your child join us walking to school! Our WSB coordinator starts every morning from Vine Street School at 8:00 am and walks the pictured route. Just open your door and send your child out to join the WSB as they walk by! Also, if you live close to any of these intersections, feel free to walk your student to the corner and they can join the WSB there! If you have any questions, give us a call at 941-6300.
