Arrival & Dismissal Procedures

To help keep students safe and traffic moving smoothly, please follow these arrival and dismissal guidelines:

  • Both the East and West are open for student pick-up and drop-off.
  • Building doors lock at 7:25am. After that time, all visitors must enter through the West entrance. 
  • If using the East parking lot, please do not enter the bus lanes until all buses have left the property.
  • When dropping off your student, pull forward as far as possible along the curb before they exit the vehicle. This allows multiple vehicles to unload at once and keeps traffic flowing efficiently.
  • Please follow the direction of school staff and be mindful of the established traffic pattern to help ensure a safe arrival and dismissal for everyone.

  • Breakfast is served in the cafeteria each morning from 7:05-7:20am. 
  • Students planning to eat breakfast should go directly to the cafeteria upon entering the building. 
  • Please ensure your student arrives before 7:20am if they plan to eat breakfast.
  • Lunch is served in the cafeteria during each student's scheduled lunch period.
  • Students also enjoy outdoor recess after lunch, so please dress appropriately for the weather as the seasons change.

Student Handbook

The Student & Family Handbook contains important policies, procedures, and expectations that help create a safe, respectful, and successful learning environment for everyone. We encourage all students and families to review the handbook together before the start of the school year and refer to it throughout the year as needed.

Students will also review key expectations during the first week of school, including our cell phone policy and other important building procedures.
