   What's Happening

Morning Routines:
Our doors open for students at 8:25 AM daily. Please enter the building through the GYM doors on the north end of Fourth Street. All students will proceed to the gym where they will be dismissed by classes to go to their homerooms. Any student coming in after 8:45 will report to the office for a tardy slip. Parents will not be permitted to go to the classrooms.

Opening Day:

The opening day for students in grades K-4 is Tuesday, August 20. The opening day for Preschool is Monday, August 26. All preschool students will be screened prior to their first day of school. Parents should receive a letter from their child’s teacher with testing dates and times.




Latchkey:

Morning latchkey begins at 7:30 AM in the gym. Students are to enter the building through the GYM doors only. Students must sign in with the latchkey supervisor daily. After-school latchkey begins at 3:00 PM and ends at 5:30 PM. Parents must sign their children out of latchkey. Parents are to use the Gym doors. If interested, please fill out a latchkey application for your child (ren). The fee for latchkey is $7.00 per child per day.



Student Absences:

Obviously regular attendance is vital to your child’s success in school. We have a very progressive curriculum. When children miss school, they miss a considerable amount of instruction. In the rare event that students miss school, parents must inform the school office (264-1651)


Bus Schedule:

If your child will, need a bus schedule call or come into the office to schedule a bus route. No student will be permitted to ride a bus without a schedule.

Uniform Rules:

Listed below are some uniform reminders. If you need any assistance with uniforms please call the office.
