General Information

• Elementary School 9:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
• (Early dismissal days: AM 8:50-10:50 a.m.; PM 11:45 – 1:45 p.m.)

Elementary students will not be permitted to enter the school building prior to 8:35 a.m.  The time prior to 8:35 a.m. has been set aside as preparation time for our teaching staff.

Since there is no early morning supervision available for your child on the playground or in the school building, the school district cannot assume the responsibility for the care of your child prior to 8:35 a.m.

A written note must be sent to your child’s teacher stating the date, time, and reason the student is being picked up.

Upon arrival, parents should report to the building and sign out his or her child before being permitted to leave.

A written note must be sent to your child’s homeroom teacher in the morning, stating the day or days in which the child will be parent pick-up.

If a written note is not received, then the student will be sent home on his or her bus.

It is very important that ALL PUPILS, kindergarten through grade 5, attend school regularly and be at the bus stops on time.  When tardiness is frequent, parents will be called.

State law requires parental reporting (either absentee hotline call or vacation/emergency permit) stating the reason for a pupil’s absence from school.

After three (3) days of absence the school nurse, principal, or guidance counselor may call the home to discover the reason for the absence.
