We need your help. Our car rider line is longer this year. Please help us begin our day on time. The 1st bell rings at 7:40am and the Tardy bell rings at 7:45am. The car line opens at 7am. We move the line as quickly as possible. You may need to leave a few minutes earlier to allow for traffic. Our teachers begin class promptly at 7:45 am. If your child needs to eat breakfast when they arrive late , they could be missing 30 minutes of instruction. Sadly, this year our tardy count is much high, an average of 25 per day. We will greatly appreciate your help with getting students to school on time and your children will reap the benefits by arriving on time.
