Voluntary Student Accident Insurance
Arrival and Dismissal
Arrival
Our doors open for students at 8:50. Students may not be dropped off prior to 8:50am. Car riders shall use our car line in the front of the school and enter the front door. The line may look long, but it is a quick and safe process for our students. Parking and walking your child to the front door hinders our car line from running smoothly.
Walkers enter the door closest to Duncan Road. The drive to the parking lot from Duncan Road is closed to cars at 8:45 every morning. If you are driving your child to school, please use the entrance from Kirkwood Highway.
Dismissal
We do not dismiss students early after 3:15. We do not make dismissal changes after 3:15. Our dismissal process begins at 3:50 pm. If your child is a car rider, please make sure you have a car number and use our car line. It is much safer than parents parking and walking with their child through our parking lot.
Thank you for helping to keep our kids safe!
Fusco's Fundraiser
Please join us for our first off site fundraiser on September 16.
Infinite Campus
Please be patient with our front office staff, teachers, admin, nurse, and transportation as we all learn to navigate this system with you.
Transportation is working hard to correct any errors, set up transportation for new students, and make necessary changes due to IEPs. It is one department working for the entire district so changes will take longer than normal. Please make arrangements to provide your own transportation while waiting for bus information to be sent to you.
