As a reminder, the first bell is at 8:45 am.  Please do not allow your child to go to their assigned door until 8:40 when supervision is present.  The tardy bell is at 8:50am.  If you arrive after 8:50, please walk your child to the front door to sign them in.

We also ask that you review your child's afterschool transportation changes the morning of the change so they know. Send a note to the school to notify the office and classroom teacher.
