General Information
School Hours
The front doors open at 7am for drop offs or bus riders. Drop offs, take the first entrance, follow along the curb. You'll see some of our staff and Officer Jump to direct you.
Pick ups, same procedure as drop offs except you pull ALL THE WAY up to the tippy top of the parking lot. After we dismiss buses, we dismiss car riders. You can anticipate this will be around 2:40.
Office Hours
- Jill handles enrollments and attendance.
- Crissy handles pretty much everything under the sun.
- Heather handles all health related concerns or questions.
- Sarah handles our finances, subs, payroll, and in general keeps the principals sane.
No Drop Offs
It's time to scale back the safety net and allow them that feeling of not being fully responsible. They're kids. We expect it. We'll let them learn, feel the consequence, and it will happen less and less.
Bus Schedule
Lisa Woodyard is our transportation coordinator and she is FABULOUS. They are busy, busy, busy in the summer getting all of the routes adjusted for new enrollees.
We Are Bally Night
Come spend the evening with us and get comfortable in our community.
