Important Announcements
Pick-Up Reminders
This is a kind reminder that the school day ends at 3:25pm and parents are required to pick up their child(ren) no later than 3:45pm. On the third late pickup, the School Resource Officer will be contacted. 

It is also important to note that the PYP Half-Circle is not for drop-off or pick-up. There have been several instances of secondary students being picked up or dropped off in that area, which slows down dismissal for everyone.

If there are extenuating circumstances, please reach out to your student’s principal:
