FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
TUESDAY, AUGUST 12TH
The first day of school for K-5 students will be Tuesday, August 12th. Teachers will be outside of the school to greet students and gather their classes at 8:15 am. K-2nd grade will meet on the blacktop and 3rd-5th grade will meet in front of the school. Each teacher will hold a sign with his or her name on it and students should join their class. We ask that you do not enter the building with your student on that day to limit the number of visitors. Classes will enter the building starting at 8:25 am. Thank you for being patient with the heavy traffic and difficulty parking that we expect on this important morning.
Families will say their goodbyes outside and school staff will ensure students get settled in their classrooms.
Beginning on Wednesday, students will enter and exit through their assigned grade level doors at 8:15 am. Any student who wants to eat breakfast will enter the front doors at 8:10 am.
