End of day pickup is from 3:20-3:30 and 4:20-4:30. Please refrain from picking up your student in the last hour of the school day outside of pickup times. We want our students in classrooms learning; picking up early takes away from their educational experience. In addition, cars coming in and out of our main lot effects the flow of our pick up line and front office congestion. Thank you for your cooperation! | |
As a reminder, all students must be picked up or leave campus within 15 minutes of their last class ending. Any students who are still on campus at that time will be directed by staff on duty to the front office to sign in, and a parent must come to the front office to sign them out. Your student will be placed in Homework Hour and assessed a $10 fee per occurrence. Anyone ending class by 4:20p must be picked up by 4:30p or they will be assessed a $65 fee per occurrence, as per our Community Handbook. | |
