Important Information

First Day of School

The first day of school will be Tuesday, September 7, 2021.


Time school starts

The beginning time of each school day is changing this year to 8:15 a.m. School doors will open at

7:55 a.m. so students can enter the building. K-6 students will go to the cafeteria where breakfast

will be offered. Grades 7-12 students can choose a breakfast-to-go at their end of the building.

The first morning bell will ring at 8:10 a.m. This is indicator for students to head to their classrooms

to be prepared for class. Students need to be in their classrooms or first hour by 8:15 a.m.


Arrival 7:50-8:10 a.m. & Dismissal 3:04 p.m.

Buses

• Arrival & Dismissal: Buses will continue to drop off students in front of the school on the

south end of the driveway. (same as last year)


Walkers/Bike Riders

• Arrival & Dismissal: Students walking to school or riding bikes will enter the building at the

front main entrance by the library.


Parent Drop-Off/Pick Up

• Arrival: Parents dropping off students by car will continue to do so at the back of the

building. Unless more restrictions become mandated again, this year parents may park

behind the building and enter with their students thru the cafeteria.

• Dismissal: Since safety of our students is the #1 priority, the same procedure will be followed as

for last school year. Parents will pick up their child/children in the back of the school by car or in

person, allowing for a safe and direct connection with parents/guardians.
