Morning Assembly begins at 7:30am with pledges and announcements. The tardy bell rings at 7:45am. School ends at 3:00pm.

Students can not be dropped off before 7:15am because there is no

supervision. Principal or Counselor will hand out tardy slips as students walk in

after the 7:45am tardy bell. Tardies affect Perfect Attendance.

If your child will be leaving early, please send a note in the folder so that we may have them ready when you come. Leaving early will also affect Perfect Attendance. For our reference, the Conduct Calendar will be notated if a student was absent, tardy or left early.

Academic learning occurs all day and students who arrive late or leave early miss valuable instructional

time aimed at their academic success.
