Late Policy
As the school day starts promptly at 8:15AM, it is important for parents and guardians to say goodbye to their children outside the school no later than 8:12AM so that students may proceed to classrooms and begin their day. A student who arrives after 8:15AM should go to
the office with his/her parent(s) to get a late slip before going to the
classroom.
Absence

Co-Curricular Classes
Each class will have physical education twice a week. Children should wear sneakers or rubber-soled shoes on the days when there is a physical education class. Each class JK-4 has music once a week, while students in 5th grade choose an instrument and have instrumental music class twice a week. All students have art class once a week. All students in JK-2 have an opportunity to visit the library each week, while in 3rd-5th grade this period alternates between library and work in the computer lab.

School & Home Communication
We value the home/school partnership. There are many ways we communicate and share information with families. Parents/guardians/caregivers are welcome to contact teachers directly to discuss any questions they may have. Scheduling a time in advance is the best way to meet with a teacher.
These are a few ways we share information so you can stay informed…
