The school day begins at 8:20am for Pre-K through 1st grade, and 8:35 am for 2nd through 5th grade. There is paid Before School Care Program beginning at 7:15 a.m. to supervise students. Students who are not enrolled in the Before School Care Program may not be dropped off before 7:30am as there is no supervision available.

Arrival

Pre-K, Kindergarten and First Grade students arriving on or after 8:20 a.m., and Second Grade through Fifth Grade students arriving on or after 8:35 am and not seated in their seats are considered tardy; therefore, they must report to the Main Office accompanied by an adult to secure an admit. These students will be marked tardy and there will be consequences for excessive unexcused tardies. Tardies become part of a child’s permanent record. Excessive tardies may result in consequences to include loss of privileges, detention, and/or parent conference. We ask for your cooperation in assisting your child in getting to school on time. Being on time is a habit your child should develop now to carry throughout life.
