Daily Procedures (K - 5th Grade)

Arrival Procedures

Please allow students to stay in your vehicle with you if you arrive before 8:45 A.M. This is a safety issue and to insure that students are properly supervised. Standing in front of the door until it is unlocked is not a safe situation. It also does not provide shelter from inclement weather. Staff will not always be able to be outside to supervise.

Tardies

Students are tardy at 9:00 a.m. and must check in at the office to receive a tardy slip. Scheduled medical appointments will be viewed as an excused tardy with a note showing verification from a professional. Early dismissal will be considered unexcused unless written documentation is provided from the appointment.

Dismissal

School dismisses at 3:45 p.m.

No Animals Allowed

Please do not bring your family pets to school while dropping off or picking up your child/children. This creates a health and safety concern. We thank you for your cooperation with this matter.

Bike Racks

Students who ride their bicycles to school need to lock them in the bike racks to prevent theft.

Telephone Messages

While we are always willing to relay messages to your children, we must ask that you use this for emergency purposes only. We have so many students in our building that relaying messages can be very time-consuming. If there is a change in your child’s daily routine, please send a note with your child in the morning. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

Mobile Device Acceptable Use Policy

Mobile devices are digital devices that can store books, magazines, and other electronic media. These are allowed at school for the purpose of reading under certain conditions. Your child’s teacher can let you know if this is being utilized in your child’s classroom.
