November 26th 2019

December 19th 2019

May 29th 2020


We are having to hire additional personnel to supervise students left behind on Early Release Days, as after-care is full on most days. After the 30 min pick up window, a $15 fee will be assessed. Elementary pick up is 12:45-1:15. Middle School (w/ elem. siblings) is 1:00-1:30.


On Oct. 30th, we had 42 children still waiting at 1:45pm, a full hour after school dismissed and when the staff was in a faculty meeting and professional development session. Aftercare can not absorb 42 late pick ups. We will be billing the $15 late fee and hiring additional staff/substitute teachers for Early Release Days.

Lunch Time Switch Lunch Time Switch

zoom_out_map

K & 1st switching time

To do what is best for students academically, we are making a switch of two grade levels' lunch times. K and 1st grade teachers proposed a switch as they each had about a 20 min period in their day where it was difficult to use well for instruction due to transitions.


Starting Tuesday, 10/22, Kinder lunch will be at 11:03- 11:28 a.m & 1st grade lunch will be at 11:26- 11:51 a.m. Please keep this in mind when planning for a lunch visit!
