Miles Elementary

Important Update

Our October 27th Open House Night has been canceled. We had planned to partner with a new book fair company, but unfortunately those arrangements did not work out. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

The good news is that our Book Fair will now be held November 17th–21st.
We invite you to join us for our new Family Engagement Day and Open House on November 20th, which will take place alongside our Thanksgiving Meal.

We look forward to seeing you then!

Drop-Off Reminders

All elementary student drop-off/dismissal will take place in front of the elementary building.
(Students who are not riding the bus and are eating breakfast will walk through the playground and around the back of the junior high to enter the cafeteria.)

· Drop-off runs from 7:30 AM to 7:50 AM.

· Students should not be dropped off before 7:30 AM.

· The tardy bell rings at 7:55 AM. If you arrive after this time, please sign in at the front office.

· Drive slow and watch for pedestrians crossing from the parking lot to the building.

· Please remain in the car line during drop-off.

· Visitors are not permitted beyond the front office.

· Parents may walk their child to class only on the first day of school.

· If you need to come into the building, you may park along 10th street or in the auditorium parking lot.

Dismissal Reminders

Everyone will be dismissing from the front of the building. Changes to times

PreK: 3:20pm
Kinder: 3:25pm
Walkers, Bus Kids: 3:30pm
1st-2nd Grade 3:32pm
3rd-6th Grade 3:35pm

To ensure a smooth and safe dismissal, please follow these guidelines:

· Do not arrive early to avoid blocking the pickup line.

· Students will only be released from the curb if accompanied by an adult.

· Stay in the car line unless you need to enter the building—if so, please park in designated areas by the auditorium or along 10th Street.

· Once Kindergarten dismissal begins, the Elementary parking lot will be closed for through traffic and used only for curbside pickup. This area will be coned off to maintain flow and safety.

· There will be no passing other cars in the dismissal line.

Thank you for helping us keep dismissal safe and efficient for everyone!
