INOW: Please make sure all of your information is up to date in INOW. If you have moved or changed phone numbers, please let the front office know. Sometimes we experience difficulty trying to contact parents due to disconnected or new phone numbers.
Car Riders: Please drop students off before 7:45 AM in the car rider line. Otherwise, you will need to check your child in at the front office. Students should not be dropped off at the front office before 7:45 AM.
Breakfast: Breakfast is provided until 7:40. Students must arrive before 7:40 to have time to eat breakfast and be in class on time.
Check outs: Students cannot be checked out after 2:30 PM.
If a student checks out before half of the school day is complete, then it will be considered a full day absence.
Chronic Absenteeism: The Alabama State Department of Education defines Chronic Absenteeism as 15 or more absences -- excused or unexcused. The number of students who are chronically absent in a given school year will impact our school's state report grade. If you are have difficulty getting your child to school for any reason, please reach out and contact an administrator or our social worker.

Read Read Read
Research shows that the number one indicator for reading and academic success is reading to your child every day or night. Reading opens doors for children, and we encourage parents to read to their children every night to prepare them for success in the future!
