Just some quick reminders:

  • - The breakfast line will end at 8:15 am daily; parents if you want your child to have a school breakfast please make sure that at school before 8:15. (Bus riders that are late due to the bus will be allowed to get breakfast)

  • Student sign-out (coming in the office) will end at 2:15 p.m. daily.  This will allow the front office to prepare and assist with the school-wide dismissal at 2:35.  If you need to check students out early, I am asking that you do this before 2:15; starting Sept. 11; any parent wishing to pick up their child for dismissal after 2:15 would have to get in the car rider line.  Thank you 

  • If your child is a bus rider, please review the expectations with them; we want to make sure that our students are safe while riding the school bus:
