WHERE TO DROP OFF/PICK UP CHILDREN:

 

                       Children are not to come to school before 7:45 each day, unless they are here for breakfast.  Breakfast begins at 7:45 a.m. daily.   Children should time their departure from home so they do not arrive at school before the times above.  Good teaching requires time to plan, prepare, evaluate, conference and a host of things that must be accomplished when pupils are not in school.  For this reason, children may not enter the building until 8:10 a.m., except for breakfast, during inclement weather or by prior arrangement.  When weather is extreme, pupils may enter the building at 7:55 a.m. and go to the gym or the auditorium, where staff members will supervise them.  For your child's safety, we request your help in monitoring their arrival time at school.
