Week of August 18 - 22
2025-2026
School Day: 7:10 AM – 2:50 PM
-
Why it matters: Consistent, on-time attendance builds strong routines and helps children feel secure. Even a few minutes late can mean missing morning greetings, breakfast, and the start of instruction.
-
Please help: Aim to arrive early enough for a calm, unhurried start. If your child has an appointment, bring a note so we can update attendance.
Morning Drop-Off
-
Have your child ready to exit the vehicle (backpack on, good-byes said, buckles unfastened when you enter the unloading zone).
-
Our staff will assist your child safely to the sidewalk—please remain in your vehicle to keep the line moving.
Afternoon Pick-Up
-
Please stay in your vehicle; staff will bring your child to you.
-
Use our designated buckle-up areas to pull forward and secure car seats and seat belts before leaving campus.
-
Thank you for being patient and respectful with staff and other drivers—we promise to move as quickly as little legs can go.
