August 2, 2019, Volume 4, No. 1

For the first day of school, parents may walk their students to the classrooms. After the first day of school, we kindly ask that parents drop their students off at the cafeteria gate or the main gate in front of the office. The cafeteria gate will be closed and locked at 8:05am. During the school week, the only gate that will be open to the campus will be the gate in front of the office. The campus will not be accessible from any other gate. The Jefferson playground (TK-1st grades) will not be accessible to parents and families after the first day of school. For the safety of all our students, parents will not be allowed to wait on the playground, picnic tables, or in front of classroom doors for students.

Here is the bell schedule for the 2019-2020 school year. Please note that all students are dismissed at the same time.

*7:40 am — Breakfast begins.

*7:55 am—Campus opens, Bell rings and students can be on the playground

*8:05 am — Students line up for class.

*8:10 am — Tardy Bell Rings. Class begins.

*2:41 pm — Dismissal for all grades

*Early out days, all students will be dismissed at 1:25pm.

We kindly ask all parents to NOT park in the yellow loading zone or the bus loading zone or use the middle of the parking lots to pick up or drop off students.

We will also open the gate located on the east side of the campus (Lombardy & Skaggs) at the 2:41pm dismissal time. If you have students who are in the Washington Building (4th-6th grades) you may pick your children up on the east side of campus at this gate.

Welcome Back for the 2019-2020 school year!

The school office is open from 7:30 am to 4:00 pm. The office will be close from 7:30 to 11:00 on August 9th for the district Back to School Breakfast.

Back to School Night will be on August 12th, the day before school starts This will allow families to see classrooms, meet teachers, ask questions, and take pictures before the first day of school. We also hope this will help students feel less nervous about their first day!

Attending school regularly helps children feel better about school—and themselves. Start building this habit in preschool so they learn right away that going to school on time, every day is important. Good attendance will help children do well in high school, college, and at work.

1. All students must wear a shirt that has a collar.

2. Shirts cannot have pictures or logos on them.

3. Pants cannot have any tears or holes.
