Important Reminder
Please be reminded parents of the importance of arriving to school on time. Our entrance bell rings at 8:30 a.m., and the school day begins promptly at 8:35 a.m. Late arrivals are disruptive to the learning environment, and hinder student's ability to perform. Also, there is no supervision for students after dismissal, but there are two very good latchkey providers on site. Students who remain after, but are not in a program or latchkey program, are at risk. Please remember dismissal is at 3:30 p.m.
