Late Policy
As the school day starts promptly at 8AM, it is important for parents and guardians to say goodbye to their children outside the school no later than 7:57AM so that students may proceed to classrooms and begin their day. A student who arrives after 8AM 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 PK-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 PK-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…
- ParentSquare Platform
- Parent Teacher Conferences (two times/year)
- School and Classroom Newsletters
- School Website
- Classroom Shares and All School Share
- Principal Coffee & Conversation, Meet & Greets, and Tea & Talk
- Email: The standard e-mail protocol for all school staff is first initial & last name@cpsd.us.
