Farley Elementary Families,

Tomorrow is the first day of the 2025-2026 school year. The staff has been busy preparing for the upcoming school year. Our custodians and maintenance has worked hard all summer ensuring our building and learning spaces are ready for students. This past week, we welcomed staff back into the building. Along with preparing their classrooms, lockers and all learning materials, they also engaged in professional learning to set Farley Elementary up for a great year of growth and learning.

We look forward to greeting all of our students tomorrow morning. Here is a brief newsletter with some reminders for a successful year. Please be mindful of some changes we are trying with lunch and dismissal.

Here is a document with important information about Farley Elementary. Whether looking for school hours, contact information or arrival and dismissal procedures, this guide is here to support you. This document will be sent home at open house and is linked at the bottom of this newsletter

This school year we will be utilizing the middle school lunchroom to serve lunch for our Pk-6 students. The elementary will have two separate lunch periods with the first at 10:40 and the second at 12:40. These lunches will be with only elementary students. We will continue to eat breakfast at Farley Elementary.

This serves as a great benefit for Farley Elementary as we utilize our gym for lunch, assemblies and a learning space for physical education. In the past we have had to shut down our gym for over two hours each day in order to accommodate our lunch which significantly impacted our learning schedules. We have increased our adult supervision and put additional procedures in place to ensure that a smooth transition.

7:45-8:05 a.m. - supervision begins for drop off; students may enter building at 7:45 a.m.

adults remain in vehicles at all times during drop off
vehicles remain single file in drop off lane along edge of parking lot
student(s) remain in vehicle until vehicle pulls forward to area marked by paint
adult supervisors monitor and walk students from drop off area across bus lane

Students arriving after 8:05 a.m. must be checked in at the office.
