Arrival

Students entering the building before 8:15 AM or after 8:45 AM must be brought to the office by a parent. It is very important to us that we give constant care and attention to your child(ren), so please do not drop off your child(ren) without escorting him/her into the building during those times.

Late Arrival (Kindergarten Only)

Students not in the classroom by 8:45 AM or after 8:45 AM are tardy and are required to sign in at the school office and will be marked tardy. Students will receive an unexcused absence for every four unexcused tardies in a nine week period. In addition, a $50 fee will be charged to the family account per child for every four unexcused tardies. All private transportation, alarm failure, oversleeping, traffic conditions, etc. are considered unexcused tardiness. If a student is let to school because of bus service, a tardy is not counted against him.

Early Dismissal

Students leaving the school before the end of the day should adhere to the following guidelines: Parents requesting an early dismissal for their student should email the school office. At the the appointed time the parent signs the student out at the front office and the student is called from class. Kindergarten students must not be asked to leave school early unless it is an emergency or it is for a doctor's appointment that cannot be scheduled at any other time or special administrative approval has been given. Early dismissal for any other reasons not previously approved is considered unexcused. Students will receive an unexcused absence for every four unexcused early dismissals in a nine week period. In addition, a $50 fee will be charged to the family account per child for every four unexcused early dismissals.

Departure

Students being picked up before 3:15 PM or after 4:00 PM must be signed out by a parent at our front office. Any students remaining after 4:00 PM will be checked in to Extended Care. Please send a nutritious snack for your student to enjoy, if you want them to have a snack while in Extended Care. Our teachers and staff are only scheduled to work until 6:00 PM. Please ensure that all students are picked up by 6:00 PM, to allow our teachers to go home to their families. A fee of $50.00 for each half hour (beginning after 6:00 PM) will be invoiced to your FACTS account in each case of a late pick-up. Please be prepared the show your I.D. to teachers or to our front office staff. For security reasons, anyone entering the building will sign in at the front office and be photographed for a photo ID badge. We appreciate your partnership as we follow these procedures for the safety and well-being of all of our students.
