Students May Not Be Dropped Off Prior to the Start of the School Day
Students may not be dropped off on campus unsupervised before 8:50am. Our school start time is 8:50am each day. Staff is not present to supervise students dropped off outside before this start time. Students should be supervised by an adult when on school property while school is not open. There are cars and buses entering our driveway, circle, parking lots, and blacktop. These areas can be unsafe for unsupervised students.
Dismissal begins at 3:35pm. Students that remain on the campus after dismissal should also be supervised by an adult and only use designated play areas such as the playgrounds. The blacktop and circle are used by cars and buses that pick up students until 6:00pm each day.
We appreciate your support in ensuring safety on our school campus before and after school.
