Arrival and Student Dismissal Procedures

An orderly arrival and dismissal of students helps us create a positive tone for a wholesome school; therefore, it is extremely important for us to maintain order and be consistent.

Arrival Time - 7:30 AM to 7:45 AM

All students are to enter the building through the cafeteria to pick up their breakfast before reporting to class. The students will have approximately 15 minutes to eat breakfast, listen to the morning announcements, and get ready for instruction. All students arriving at school after morning announcements must report to the main office to receive a tardy pass.

Departure Time - 1:55 PM

The goal is for all students to be dismissed from the school by 2:15 pm each and every day!

All students will be dismissed at 1:55 p.m..

  • Pre-K - outside through the front lobby for pick-up.
  • Kindergarten - exit through the double glass doors within fence area.
  • Grade 1 - through the door by the front temps
  • Grade 2 - dismissed by the left side field near Pre-K Playground
  • Grade 3, 4 and 5 will be dismissed to the black top.
  • Siblings report to their younger siblings dismissal location upon regular dismissal. They will NOT be called earlier.

Safety Patrols

We are very proud of our safety patrols and we are fortunate to have a well-organized, efficient, and dependable Patrol Program. Staff sponsors select the patrols based on willingness to respect authority, reliability, academic performance, and serving as role models for peers. Please encourage your children to obey and respect the patrols as they help to promote safety in our school community.
