Theme 2023-2024: Welcome to the Zoo!

Mission: Provide comprehensive and high quality education in an inclusive social setting by professional, competent, and compassionate staff. Promote the growth and development of children and families while improving their quality of life in an ever changing society.

Safety is always our number one priority! In order to keep our front lobby more secure, the front doors will ONLY be unlocked from 7:50-8:15a.m. A buzzer/intercom system has been installed on the right hand side of the front doors. If the front doors are locked, just push the green button and someone from the office will be right with you. The left door will then be unlocked so you can enter the lobby.

Title (Turquoise Tag)/Developmental Preschool (Green Tag)

If your child is a car rider, arrival and dismissal will be a car line procedure in the back of the building on Conwell. To enter the car line, you must follow 17th St. and turn LEFT on East Street, follow it around the curve (turns into Fairmont Street) and then turn LEFT on Conwell. Your passenger side door should be parallel to the sidewalk. We will dismiss car by car at the gate (look for the orange cones), so please pull up to the spot directly next to the cones when it’s your turn. Please remain in your car, and a staff member will help escort your child into the building and then back to the car at dismissal. You will be provided a tag for your mirror that MUST be displayed.

Mid-Day DROP OFF

If you are DROPPING OFF your child for the PM session, please FLIP your tag backwards. This allows staff to dismiss children from the AM session more efficiently.

*Car line procedures will start on the first day of school. AM drop off will begin at 7:50a.m. Gates will close at 8:00a.m., unless there are cars in line. PM drop off will begin at 11:20a.m. Gates will close at about 11:40a.m., unless there are cars in line. We ask all adults to stay in their vehicles during pick-up/drop-off. We will get students out of the car and put them back in. If your child is unable to fasten their carseat/booster straps after they are loaded, then we ask you to pull up ahead of car line before getting out to fasten. Please be patient with us the first couple of weeks of school. If you do not have your child's car tag, you must have an ID for us to confirm authorization of pick-up. *

Head Start (Blue Tag)

If your child is a car rider, arrival and dismissal will be a car line procedure in the front of the building on Eastern Ave. To enter the car line, use 17th Street or Eastern Ave. Do not enter from 18th Street. We will dismiss car by car at the awning, so please pull up to the spot directly next to the awning when it’s your turn. Your passenger side door should be parallel to the sidewalk. Please remain in your car, and a staff member will help escort your child into the building and then back to the car at dismissal. You will be provided a tag for your mirror that MUST be displayed. *DO NOT BLOCK ALLEY WITH CAR LINE. IT IS A BUS ROUTE.*

Mid-Day DROP OFF
