Upon dismissal from school, students must leave the building and playground and are to go directly home, except bus students who will be going to their respective buses. Students should not be sent to the office to wait for parent pick-up after dismissal time.

As outlined in the 2024-25 Student/Parent Handbook, Tardy and Attendance times have been revised. Students are marked Tardy after 7:40am and will be marked Absent after 8:00am. Students must be signed in after 8:00am by a parent/guardian in the office.

It's that time of year, and as we move into November, winter will become more prevalent. Please make sure your kiddos are dressed appropriately for the elements when they arrive at school. Per district policy, students will go outside for recess as long as the wind chill is above zero. You are welcome to send snow boots or snow pants with your kids to school.

Several positions are available for the 2024-25 school year.
