Friendly Reminder
For the safety of all our students, please remember that student supervision begins at 8:15 AM. We kindly ask that students not be dropped off before 8:15 AM, as supervision is not available prior to this time.
Students should be in their classrooms by 8:25 AM. Students who are not in their classroom by 8:25 AM will be considered tardy.
Dismissal is at 3:05 PM. After dismissal, students should not remain on the playground without parent or guardian supervision.
We also ask for your help in reminding students not to climb or hop over fences onto neighboring private property before or after school. This is important for both student safety and respecting the property of our neighbors.
Thank you for your cooperation and partnership in helping us keep our students safe!
