TEACHER ASSIGNMENTS - TODAY
For all students, teacher assignments will be available on your child's Infinite Campus portal by the end of the day on Friday, August 1st.


FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL 
On the first day of school WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 13th, all of our students meet in front of the school at their assigned door. 
  • 4th/5th Grade - Door 12
  • Kinder/3rd Grade - Door 1
  • 1st/2nd Grade - Door 2

*See Map Below* We have adults who will help your child find your teacher. All students walk in together. The PTN will have a Card My Yard Sign that you could use to get a picture of your child’s first day. We ask that parents remain in the parent waiting area and not wait at the front of the building.


SCHOOL HOURS

  • First Bell 8:45
  • Tardy Bell 8:50 - If your child is Tardy, you must walk them into the front office
  • AM Kindergarten Dismissal 11:30
  • Walker/Car Rider Dismissal 3:25
  • Busser Dismissal 3:30
Main Office Hours 7:45 am - 4:00 pm
*Students cannot be dropped off any earlier than 8:40 am as there is no supervision. Parents or guardians are welcome to stay with their child until supervision arrives. 


PARENT WAVE/WAITING ZONE
To maintain the safety of our students and staff, we are asking parents not to walk up to the entrance doors with their children. Please stop at the sidewalk where the sign "Students Only Beyond This Point" is located and say your goodbyes there. Think of it like the “kiss and ride or fly zones” you would see at train stations and airports. This minimizes unknown adults from being around children or entering the building. It gives staff and students a clear path to their entrance destination 


DROP-OFF & PICK-UP PROCEDURES
  1. DO NOT use your Cell phone in the school zone
  2. REFRAIN from entering/exiting the main parking lot when buses are present, including from approximately 8:35-8:50 am and 3:15-3:35 pm. 
  3. All drop-offs/pickups should occur in the west lot.
  4. Students are not allowed to walk through the front parking lot when buses are present
  5. EVERYONE should cross the crosswalk with the crossing guard.
  6. You can NOT turn left into either parking lot during student arrival and dismissal
  7. When using the drop-off/pick up line: Pull all the way forward before allowing your child to exit or enter the car, and remain in your car. Children should enter/exit on the curbside only
  8. If you would like to walk your child up, park in a designated spot  
  9. Model respectful, patient, and positive interactions for students and allow extra time to get to your destination when using the crowded lot
  10. Follow the route in the picture BELOW
