Arriving on Time, Excused Absences and Early Dismissal

Attention, new families!

7:57 am: The first bell (the “line up” bell) rings, signaling students to line up at their class doors and to get ready for their teachers to get them.

8:00 am: The second bell rings, signaling students to enter the building.

After 8:00 am: The Kindergarten outside doors are locked, as are all other outside entrance doors, and you have to enter via the school office. Kids entering after 8:00 am are tardy and need a pass to enter their classroom. After kids get 3 tardy slips, families will receive a letter from the school. After 18 tardy slips, a Truancy Officer is assigned, per state law.

If your child is absent, call the office at 524-3090 or 524-3092 before 9:00 am, or tell your teacher via writing (email or note), to have them excused for the day. You can also request homework. Students should bring a written excuse when they return.

If you need your child to leave early, provide a note that includes the reason for dismissal, the name of the person authorized to sign the student out, the parent’s contact number, date and time of dismissal. The school asks that you limit the number of times your end of the day arrangements change.
