Please schedule your drop-off time so that your child can enter the building by 7:35 am. Only students approved by the Nurse or Principal should be dropped off by the cafeteria.
  • Afterschool - Students are not allowed on Campus after school unless they are part of a club or playing a sport or are supervised by an adult.

Attendance Reminders

The Importance of Being On Time
Arriving to school on time sets students up for success each day! When students arrive late, they miss important morning routines, announcements, and instructional time that helps them start the day feeling prepared and focused. We encourage all families to make punctuality a priority. If transportation is a challenge, please remember that students can take the bus to ensure they arrive safely and on time each morning. Thank you for helping us support your child’s learning from the very first bell!

Student Absences
If your student will be absent, please call or email the school to let us know.
  • Medical Absences: If the absence is due to a doctor’s appointment, please provide a doctor’s note so it can be recorded as an Excused Absence.
  • Planned/Vacation Absences: Requests for planned or vacation absences must be submitted at least two weeks in advance and require approval from the principal.

Let's Go !

As we settle into the fall season, it's important to support physical and emotional well-being by eating healthy and staying active, setting your family up for a successful season. 

Boost Immunity
Fall marks the beginning of cold and flu season. Nutritious foods rich in vitamins A, C, and D, along with whole grains and lean proteins, help your immune system stay strong. Learn more about snacks to fuel your brain.

Maintain Physical Activity
Cooler weather doesn’t have to mean less movement. Fall is a great time for outdoor activities like biking and hiking. Daily movement improves physical health, builds confidence and helps manage seasonal changes and academic stress. Learn how to get 1 hour or more of movement daily. 

Living 5-2-1-0 every day supports your physical health and can help your family feel more balanced, focused, and resilient as we navigate the fall season.
