School Hours and Before School Programming
We want to remind you that the school hours for the 2021-22 school year have shifted. The school day will run from 8:10 am until 2:50 pm. The exception is Wednesdays. On Wednesdays, we always have an early release at 12:20 pm.
On-Time
Students must arrive outside school by 8:05 am (please do not drop off children before 8:00, as there are no adults outside to supervise). The bell rings at 8:10am. We expect all children to be in their classrooms by 8:20am.
Late Arrival
Children who arrive late must go to the main office to fill out a late slip, which they bring to their teacher. Children who enter the classroom late consistently miss valuable learning time. Please ensure your children are at school on time by 8:10 am.
Noteworthy Dates
Below please find dates to add to your calendar for the first month of school.
