Morning Logistics
Breakfast: If your child would like to receive breakfast, please have them enter at the MPR gate. They will be able to walk up or drop off at the drive thru at 7:20. If your children do not want breakfast please have them wait at the front gate until the playground opens at 7:30.
Blacktop open at 7:30 for all students: We will open the front and MPR gates to all students at 7:30. We also have the drive thru drop off at the MPR gate. See map below. (Drivers, please place a sign in your window with your child's name and grade.) All TK/K students need to be walked up to the front entrance, to spend the morning at the kinder playground monitored by the TK/K teachers.
School Starts at 7:45: The teachers walk their classes in and start school right at 7:45. If the children are walking in at 7:45, they are considered late. Most teachers start class with a morning meeting, which is an important ritual in elementary school. Please try to have your children on the blacktop by 7:40am.
