A note from Mr. Dubinsky
WELCOME BACK!
Wednesday, August 14, 2019 is the first day of school grades K-5 8:50 a.m. – 11:50 a.m. Students should not arrive at school before 8:30 a.m. It is the expectation that upon arrival students stand quietly in line at the entrance door assigned to their grade level. When the 8:40 a.m. bell rings, students will quietly enter the school. Students must be in their seats ready to start when the 8:50 a.m. bell rings or they will be marked tardy. School personnel will be available outside the school on opening day to assist students and answer questions.
Please note: Briar Glen continues to have PreK and their drop off time is 8:20 a.m. Their dismissal time is 3:10 p.m. With this being said, please DO NOT plan on arriving any earlier than 8:20 a.m. or earlier than 3:20 p.m.. K-5 morning supervision does not begin until 8:30 a.m.
