The student's school day will begin at 8:00 a.m. and end at 3:00 p.m. Unless special arrangements have been made with the principal, no students are to be on school premises before 7:45 a.m.or after 3:15 p.m.  Please do not send your child earlier.  All students who walk home or are being picked up should remain in the library until dismissed. Walkers should leave the school grounds immediately upon dismissal.

Students who arrive at or after 8:05 a.m. or leave before 3:00 p.m. must report to the office.  Students must have on file with the classroom teacher a current Dismissal Form.  All students leaving school other than the prearranged dismissal procedure must have a signed note from a parent or guardian. That note is to be given to the homeroom teacher at the beginning of the school day. Should a situation arise where a student cannot bring a note, a telephone call must be made to the office. No student will leave the school grounds before 3:00 p.m. without permission.

Person’s picking up students prior to the end of the school day or bringing students late during the school day MUST report to the school office. This information is necessary to maintain state attendance records and for security reasons. Anytime a student is to leave school with anyone other than a custodial parent or legal guardian, that person must have signed permission from the custodial parent or legal guardian.

All students who are being picked up from school at the end of the day will be sent to the designated area. Persons picking up students at the end of the day must report to the office to sign in and then proceed to the designated area to wait for the student. This is for the safety of all our children. This also keeps any classroom disruptions to a minimum. If a child sees their parent waiting outside the classroom, they tend to be distracted from learning and any instructions from the teacher. Parents are always welcome to spend time in the classroom. Please sign in at the office before going to your child’s classroom.

If a student is picked up daily, the office should be notified of that fact and office check-in can be speeded up.

The west side of the building is closed to all traffic during the school day from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.  Picking up students or dropping them off MUST be done from the east side of the building using the entrance off Brickle Street .  All entrance doors will be locked during the day, except for the main entrance on the east side and the south side doors by the district office. This is for the safety and protection of your children. Immediately upon entering the school, please sign in at the office.
