Car Rider Arrival and Dismissal Reminders

Thank you for following our car rider line procedures to ensure the safe and efficient arrival and dismissal of all of our students.

Morning

  • Please do not park in the parking lot and walk students into the school before 8:00.  Parents must drive thru the car rider line so that their child can be temperature screened before exiting the vehicle.

Afternoon

  • Please display your green sign on the dash of your car.  If you do not have the green sign displayed, you will have to park and go inside to show your I.D..
  • If you exit your car in the car rider line to help your child, you must wear a face covering.

Bus Reminders

  • Due to limited capacity on school buses during Plan B, we cannot change a child’s form of transportation to bus unless notified 24 hours in advance.
  • Please remember that the bus could arrive 10 minutes before or after stop times due to varied numbers of riders, weather, or traffic/road construction.

Parent/Teacher Communication

Our teachers have increased communication a lot since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in an attempt to keep parents informed and to be available to answer questions.  We appreciate our teachers efforts!  Parents, please know that our teachers’ hours are 7:20-3:20.  Our teachers have families and personal responsibilities outside of school.  We encourage you to reach out to your child’s teacher whenever you need to, but please understand that they may not be able to respond until the next day.  Thank you for your understanding!

Annual Title I Presentation for Parents

Each year we invite parents to school to hear our annual Title I presentation.  This year, due to gathering and social distancing restrictions, we must share the presentation virtually.  Please click the link below to review our annual Title I presentation.  Thank you!
