Breakfast/Morning Arrival:

If your child(ren) will be buying breakfast and you are dropping them off please arrive at 0740 so they have time to eat before our first bell at 0755.

Breakfast for Bus riders:

Once the buses arrive, those students buying breakfast are asked to quickly head to the cafeteria to get their breakfast. However, many of our buses arrive between 0750 – 0800. Those students will get their breakfast and must go directly to class to eat, while the class gets starting with their Morning Meeting.

No Breakfast/Morning Arrival:

If your child(ren) are NOT buying breakfast, please drop them off closer to 0755 as they will need to gather in the Tiger Theater to wait for the first bell. We have supervision in the Theater and in the front for the students, so we are asking for your help in making the drop off/arrival process run smoothly.

Arriving Late:

For the safety and security of our students, all students arriving after 0800 must be physically signed in by a parent/sponsor in the main office. 

Early Dismissal:

If it is necessary that your child be dismissed from school earlier than the regular dismissal time, the parent and/or adult designee must come into the main office to sign the child out from school. In all instances, advanced notification of an early dismissal is appreciated so that a timely and seamless transition from the classroom setting to the main office can occur (i.e., Sure Start and kindergarten classes in a separate annex from the school’s main building, a student may be in a different learning environment other than his/her homeroom setting at the time of the parent is arriving to school).

As the administrative staff in our school’s main office becomes familiar with all of our students and their families and for the protection of your child, there may be instances when a staff member may ask the parent calling the school for specific information to best identify the caller. Additionally, when at the school site to meet the child, the assisting staff member may ask the parent/adult designee for picture identification to ensure the information we have on file at school is the same individual greeting/assisting the child prior to escorting him/her from the school site.

After-School Routines:

Similarly, because of the end of the instructional day is busy with student-centered transitions, please know that at times the administrative staff may be unsuccessful in relaying last minute changes to a child’s typical after-school routine. When calling the school to provide an after-school update on behalf of your child(ren), please do so by 1345. Planning and communicating with your child ahead of time, as well as a handwritten note to the classroom teacher at the start of the day, are the best means to ensure your child’s after-school plans are successful.

Email and/or Seesaw communications to staff members during the instructional day are not a guarantee that after school change in dismissal routine will happen. The best way to change way to change after school plans is to call the main office 0631-143-545-1100.
