See our bell schedule below:
7:05 - 7:30am Students are allowed to be dropped off, come in the building, and breakfast is served during this time.
7:30am School begins
7:35am Tardy bell rings
3:10pm Dismissal bell rings
If students arrive between 7:05-7:30 and they want to eat breakfast, they will go to the cafeteria.
Kindergarten & 1st grade will go to the gym.
2nd-5th grade will go to their team classrooms.
Students who arrive at 7:30 will go straight to class. Students who arrive after 7:35 will check in with the front office to get a tardy slip before going to class.
Dismissal: Please let your classroom teachers know how your child will be getting home from school. We will have bus riders, daycare students, car riders and walkers. Please download the app: https://www.pikmykid.com/ All students will be given a car tag number for times that they will be a car rider.
Walkers: Students walking must be independent walkers. Teachers will help walk students out of the building and get them across the street at the crosswalk. If parents are meeting your child to walk home with them please meet us at the cross walk to walk with your child. You will not need to walk up to the front door. We have two zones for student walkers. Please clarify which group your child should be walking with to the classroom teacher.
Be sure to let your child's teacher know how he or she is getting home from school. Bus - which bus? Car rider or walker? Daycare or YMCA?
Our Bus route numbers are: 06, 07, 23, 24, & 89.
Please contact Transportation to clarify the bus route your student(s) will be on.
During the year, any changes from the usual pickup routine need to be called to the front office by 1:00pm that day in order for us to notify your child's teacher in a timely manner. Please do not contact your teacher directly in case they don't have afternoon conference, have a sub that day, or happen to miss the message. Contacting the front office helps us make sure everyone involved with after school duty knows of the change.
Please download the My School Bucks app to manage your child's lunch account. To see if you qualify for free or reduced lunch, please apply at https://www.myschooolapps.com.
Breakfast is $1.75 and served until 7:30.
Lunch is $2.70.
Money may be uploaded to your child's account at myschoolbucks.com.
Your child's teacher will share with you their lunch time.
PARENT LUNCHES
Parents are able to come have lunch with their children on Mondays through Thursdays. To help us teach all the students our procedures first, we'll wait to start this until September 9th.
After the 9th, you're welcome to come have lunch with your child in the main hallway in front of the cafeteria. If you choose to come have lunch with your child, they can either buy their lunch or you can bring food - either way! We cannot have friends join in on the parent lunches.
If you wish to bring cupcakes or other items to school to help your child celebrate a birthday, we can do that with a few restrictions to help us stay in compliance with food guidelines and allergy rules.
Items must be store bought with an ingredient label for our nurse to be able to check for allergies. We will deliver the food to their class, they can be dropped off at the office. Thank you for helping us stay in compliance!
