How are we here already? As sad as it is to see the summer go, we are so excited to kick of this new school year with you all! That being said we just want to give everyone a few reminders. The first day of school is Wednesday, August 20th. We ask that you please have your child's transportation home on the first day of school to be the same as it will be all year, if possible, this reduces confusion and creates consistency and routine. Please send your students to school wearing their lanyards sent home in the welcome back packet.
Car Riders: Doors open at 8:30 and close at 8:45. Please park in the additional parking lot and walk your student across the driveway using the crosswalk.
Dismissal: Doors Open for car riders at 3:25, parents please have your car tags viewable for teachers to write down your student's name.
Student last names A-L: Please pull up to the far door (closes to State St.) and line up on the curb closest to the school and remain in your car.
Student last names M-Z: Please pull up on the left curb, closest to the parking lots and remain in your car. Please be patient and wait for the car(s) in front of you to load and pull forward rather than driving out of the line.
