Morning Drop Off
Students will not be allowed to enter the building through the main entrance in the morning. If your student arrives to school after the 8:05 start time, they may come in the main entrance.

After School Dismissal
The included document illustrates where each class will be located at dismissal. Students are expected to remain in those lines, until their ride arrives. Older students may walk to pick up their younger siblings. Please have patience and be safe and alert when driving near the school during dismissal times. The 4th graders will have the opportunity to participate in Safety Patrol, which will begin the week of August 26.

Prepackaged Treats
The safety of our children is of utmost importance. We have many students with a wide range of severe, life threatening allergies to various food products. To keep our children safe we are asking that any food products that are brought into the classroom as treats are prepackaged items with ingredients listed.
Thank you for your support in keeping our kids safe.
