Late Arrivals: Once staff members are no longer present at 8:25 AM, please drop your child off at the front of the school.
Tardy Bell: The tardy bell rings at 8:25 AM.
Back doors lock at 8:25 AM so staff can head inside to start instruction on time. For student safety, children must never be dropped off in the back without staff present.
Thank you for your help in keeping our mornings safe and smooth!
