Late Arrival Procedures
If you arrive at school after 7:40am and there is no adult on duty in the carpool loop, you need to park your vehicle and walk your child into the front office for their supervision and safety. Thank you in advance for your support in this matter.
- Tardies begin at 7:40am. An adult will need to sign the student in at this time.
Excessive tardies will be reviewed under the choice option for attendance to a magnet program.
**** State law requires students in kindergarten through 12th grade to attend school a minimum of 170 of the school year’s 180 days to receive credit for the academic year.
Students can be absent for no more than 10 days per school year.
A note from a parent/guardian or certified medical practitioner must be submitted to the school immediately or within 5 days upon the return of the student. Failure to provide notes within 5 day time frame may result in an absence being considered as Unverified.
Beginning Friday, August 29, 2025, all students will take their IDs home and return to school with it each day.
Student IDs are expected to be worn for the entire duration of the school day each day from the time students arrive on campus until the end of the school day.
IDs are not required during aftercare.
Beginning Tuesday, September 2, 2025, any student who does not have an ID will be sent to the office at the conclusion of the Morning Announcements. At that time:
A temporary 1 day ID will be issued. The student's Parent Portal account will be charged $1.00.
After 5 consecutive days with a temporary ID, a new permanent ID will be created and issued to the child. The student’s Parent Portal account will be charged $5.00.
Note: The bead on the lanyard should be worn behind the student’s neck to avoid risk of choking. This bead will allow you to adjust the length of the lanyard based on the size of the child.
