School Updates
- School starts with drop-off at 8:15. All children will proceed into the school and get a school breakfast. This year we are opting to have a longer midday recess and therefore, there is no morning recess.
- You might have seen the updates on the construction changes around the school. Granite Street will have two lanes for drop-off and pickup. Cars on the right, bus on the left. You must follow the directions of the staff members out assisting in order to continue to use the car loop.
- The school will dismiss at 3:00. Foot walking traffic is supported to help alleviate vehicular traffic.
For all parents who need any assistance in helping to start off the year, the school is a great resource for information and support, especially for newly enrolled students. Any parent can contact the school leading up to the start for guidance on:
- Filling out all the necessary back-to-school forms.
- Touring the school
- Connecting families with programs and services in the area.
Simply contact the school at 603-332-3280 for further information.
