Arrival and Dismissal Maps and Video with Frequently Asked Q&A
IMPORTANT NOTE:  With the staggered dismissal times the final time to check out your student early from the school office will be 2:00 PM on regular days and 11:00 AM on early release days. 

Our staff's primary goal is to keep our students safe and healthy on campus, so during car line the majority of our staff must remain inside with our students.  This means that it is more important than ever for our parents to understand our arrival and dismissal procedures to allow car line to run as efficiently as possible outside.

Each family was issued two official dismissal car tags.  Parents can make paper copies of the official car tag to give to anyone they authorize to pick up their child(ren) in the dismissal car loop. Electronic images i.e. a picture on a cell phone is NOT permitted.
Lunch Caterer Information

Our lunch caterer will begin serving hot lunches on Monday, August 23rd.  Menues and instructions for ordering lunch will be emailed to parents next week.  We are happy to announce that hot menu items will be available this school year.
