Please remind your students that all cell phones must be put away and off during the hours of 7:30 am and 2:30 pm.
Please have your child at school each day. Absences add up to lost instructional time!
Reminders!
- Doors open for all students at 7:30 am. Instruction begins at 8:00 am. There will not be supervision here for your child before 7:30 am when the office opens.
- Please allow your students to walk to their classroom independently. There are plenty of adults in the hallways throughout the building to help guide and direct our students. They really enjoy the independence and we enjoy seeing their smiling faces walking to their classrooms each morning!
- Pre-K drop-off and sign-in are only on the side of the building. Pre-K are considered late at 7:50 am.
- Students in grades 3-6th who have not paid their $35.00 laptop usage fee in a prior year, need to please send in their payments as soon as possible.
