School Policies and Expectations

We are asking our families to support our Administrative Policies and Expectations:


  • Students cannot have Door Dash, Uber Eats or family members deliver food to the school during the school day.
  • Students may only possess closable water bottles and coffee mugs. No disposable drinks will be allowed in the classrooms. There are refill stations throughout the school.
  • Cell Phones must be silenced and away from 7:30-2:18.
  • Parents, please call 302-762-7125 in an Emergency if you need to reach your student. Calling and texting them during their class time creates a classroom disruption.
