Make sure you tour the school and check out our amazing special programs and those wonderful teachers. Each of these classrooms can be found in the main building.

During your visit to your student's teacher(s), please make sure to let them know how your student will be getting home on the first day of school.

Please enter the school through the front office building. Our staff will assist you in finding the correct classroom(s).

On Monday, August 12th, parents will be allowed to walk their student(s) to their classroom between 7:05 a.m. and 7:35 a.m. Classes begin promptly at 7:35 a.m., so we ask parents to please be exiting the school by that time.

Tuesday, August 13th and Wednesday, August 14th, ONLY parents with Kindergarteners will be allowed to walk their student to class.

Beginning August 15th, we will not allow parents to walk their student(s) to class.

Due to our 3rd grade team moving to the front of the school, we will all be experiencing more traffic in the mornings and afternoons, as this grade will also use the Primary Carline.

Parents residing South of Hwy 98 and West of Co Hwy 393 to 30-a have the option to walk with their child to and from school each day. A walker pass MUST be obtained in the office. Please provide a proof of residency when applying for the pass. Walker passes are not available for parents who wish to park in the parking lot and walk up to retrieve their child. Parents who wish to have their child walk or bike to school unaccompanied must get administrative approval and have a written note on file at school.
