ARRIVAL AND DISMISSAL
You will notice a new sign out front as you drop off your child(ren) in the morning. This will help as some parents were driving to the North door only to realize the staff on duty had already closed the doors.
Please find this as a reminder that the school day officially begins at 7:55 AM.
Keep in Touch!
