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.

This is for everyone's safety! Thank you!

4. Our next House Meeting date is September 26th
5. Our first House Spirit Day (think Pep Rally) is October 11th

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 down for both the elementary and middle school compared to last week.

Way to go 4th grade and 6th grade for being our attendance leaders!

We invite parents/guardians of children who receive special education services (IEP services) to complete this survey by September 23, 2024.

We value our parents/guardians as partners in the development of a full-service continuum to meet the needs of our children. Thank you for taking the time to complete the form and for your valuable input!
