WISHING OUR STAFF A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Attendance Hours: 8:45 a.m. - 3:45 p.m.
School begins at 8:45 a.m. and ends at 3:45 p.m. Students should arrive no earlier than 8:30 a.m. All doors will remain locked until 8:35 and supervision can happen. There will be no direct supervision of students prior to 8:35 a.m., so for the safety and well being of your children, we ask that you make child care arrangements for your children. Neighbors or relatives may be able to watch your children before school, or the YMCA has a latchkey program at Meadowlark. Information about the program can be found at https://ymcawichita.org/programs/child-care-and-camps/before-and-after-school
Breakfast
Students who wish to eat breakfast at school may arrive as early as 8:15 a.m. and need to enter through the front entrance doors if it’s before 8:25 a.m.
Lunch Visitors
Due to our enrollment size and cafeteria capacity, we are not able to accommodate visitors during lunch. If you’d like to eat lunch with your child, you may check him or her out of the
building and eat off-site.
Late Arriving Students
Students who arrive after 8:45 a.m. can be dropped off in the main parking lot. For your
convenience, please feel free to call the main office at 316-218-4630 to check your child in.
Early Pick Up of Students
Parents wishing to pick up their children prior to 3:45 pm, please pull into the main parking lot and call the office at 316-218-4630 and we will send your child to your car.
