Drop Off Procedures Drop Off Procedures

Parents, please follow our morning procedures:


  1. Drop your children off in the car rider line before 8:00 am.
  2. There is no parent walk in after the first day of school.
  3. Once the cones are out in the second lane you must park in the front of the school and walk your child/children into the building. The carline closes to all students except Pre-K at 8:00 and the back doors will be locked.
  4. If you are in the car rider line, please do not block the neighbor's driveways.
  5. Students should be prepared to exit the car once you are stopped past the big blue dumpster to help speed up the carline. Please do not allow your children to get out of the car if you have not yet reached the big blue dumpster.
  6. Do not let students out of the car on Trail Ridge or Grizzard. It is dangerous as there is no adult supervision or sidewalks to the school entrance.


Student drop off does not begin until 7:30! Please do not let students out of the car until 7:30 as there is no one there to supervise them.


This is for everyone's safety! Thank you!

Attendance Updates Attendance Updates

Our school wide goal for attendance is 98% present each and every school day. Every day counts! Please plan appointments early enough that your student can be checked in by 11:30 or later in the day so that they can be in school until at least 11:30 in order to avoid being counted absent.


Overall attendance is UP for both the elementary and middle school compared to last week.

Way to go kindergarten and 7th grade for being our attendance leaders again this past week!
