Tardy Policy

If you are dropping off your student after 8:00 AM you must drop them off at the front office. Please walk your child to the front office and sign them in. DO NOT let your child sign in by themselves. EVERY student that is tardy needs a parent signature.

After 8:15 students are considered absent.

Phone calls home will be begin at 9:30am

Before/During Dismissal

Administration has been informed that children have been leaving 15 minutes before dismissal time. We ask that children are NOT to be picked up 30 minutes prior to dismissal time.


During dismissal, the front office will be closed at 2:30pm to 2:45pm.

Pick up your children at one of the two designated pick up points.

1.) North Entrance at Cafeteria Door

2.) Drive-Through Pick-Up Line, Enter on Sunland Ave.

Celebrations

We love celebrations and we love celebrating our students! We ask that you give your child's homeroom teacher 24-hour notice before sending any treats or celebratory items. You may contact homeroom teachers via email or ClassDojo. If you are sending treats with your child, they will be held at the office unless prior arrangements with the homeroom teacher have been made. In order to limit interruption of academic instruction, treats will be handed out 30 minutes prior to dismissal, unless arrangements with the homeroom teacher have been made. We appreciate your understanding and thank you for your cooperation!
