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.
