School Hours

As the weather turns cooler and vehicle windows are not down, please make sure that your child’s name is displayed so we can call out their name.  It helps us get students in the correct spot while waiting in line.  If you need a new card for your car, please let us know.

 

In the mornings when you drop off your child, please be aware that our staff members are in classrooms starting at 8:25.  If you arrive after 8:25 am, please drop your child off at the front of the school entrance by the flagpole.

 

***If you arrive before 8:25 am, make sure that you use the lower entrance to drop off your child.
