Refillable Water Bottles

We are expecting some temperatures in the 90's next week. Please make sure you are sending in a refillable water bottle with your child/ren.


"Staying hydrated helps kids stay alert and focused, can keep their bodies at a safe and healthy temperature, and may improve cognitive functioning. School-aged kids should be drinking at least six to eight glasses of water each day."*

Drop off and Pick up Procedures

MORNING ARRIVAL

Cars must enter St. Anthony Church parking lot from Harvard Street then stop on Silver Street to drop off children. Do not allow your child to disembark in any other part of this moving traffic area. Students should be ready to disembark when the vehicle stops. Parents must remain with vehicles at all times. Do not pass around a vehicle that is stopped in the drop off zone. Stay in the line of traffic until you leave the school grounds.


Doors open at 7:15 am and close at 7:30. After 7:30, students are considered tardy and parents must sign their child(ren) in at the main office using the Belmont St. entrance.


AFTERNOON DISMISSAL 2:15 PM

Drive toward the schoolyard to make a u-turn. Children will be dismissed from the building or courtyard. Cars must display the family name on windshield to assist teachers in a speedy dismissal.

Please depart with children as soon as they are buckled up. In order to keep the line moving and ensure the safety of the children, we ask that you promptly leave. Should you need extra time for buckling seat belts, please pull your car over to the side (out of line) then return to line to depart the schoolyard.


Any parent that chooses not to drive in the pick-up line, may park on side streets or the church parking lot ONLY. Proceed to the pick-up area to retrieve your child. No child will be allowed to walk unescorted to a parked vehicle. Do not park in front of school on either side of Belmont Street.
