*Lunch
Here's what you need to know:
*Sign up using the reservation link below.
*Parents are restricted to only ONE day per cycle so that we can allow more parents to visit.
*No more than 2 people per child will be allowed based on space.
*Parents will need a valid ID and will enter the front of the building.
*Go straight to the cafeteria to meet your child and bring them to the patio tables.
*Lunch tables are on the patio by the playground. Unfortunately they are not covered so if it is raining, you will want to cancel and reschedule your day.
*When lunch is over, parents must leave. Parents cannot attend recess nor visit the child's classroom per Level 3 restrictions.
ATTENDANCE AND TARDIES
Tardies - We begin counting tardies at 8:01 a.m. We do, however, monitor the line. We take note of the last car in line at 8:01 and all cars after that, the students are counted tardy. Currently, we have a much shorter line between 7:45 - 7:55. If you consistently arrive about 7:55, try adjusting your morning schedule by about 10 minutes, you will not have to wait in line to drop off your child.
