School Day hours- Between the hours of 8:40am and 3:00pm students are expected to follow their class schedules in Skyward. Any time a student is in the hallways during designated class time they MUST have an appropriate pass and approval from a Horizons staff member.
Arrival-
Mornings are busy. Please plan to have your student here with enough time to be in the classroom and be prepared when the beginning bell rings at 8:40am.
The cafeteria serves breakfast until 8:30am. Please make timing arrangements so students can get breakfast and be in the classroom at 8:40am.
If a student arrives at school after 8:40, they need to go through office so we can record their presence.
Throughout the day
OPEN LUNCH--Open lunch is only available for Seniors. They must have an open lunch form signed by a parent/guardian. Any violation of the open lunch expectations including arriving late from lunch may result in their open lunch privileges being revoked. Students may leave for open lunch at 11:40 and MUST return by 12:15.
