Everything you need to know about our routines
DAILY ATTENDANCE ARRIVAL & DISMISSAL
Children are expected to attend class daily with the fol-
lowing exceptions: communicable diseases, fever with-
in 24 hours of attendance, death of a family member,
and other debilitating circumstances. If a child is ab-
sent for any of the above reasons, parents are expected
to contact the school prior to 9:00 a.m. on the morning
of the absence. If a child is absent without explanation,
the parent/caregiver will be contacted to determine
the reason for the absence. Morning drop-off is 8:50-9:00 a.m. The school building
does not open until 8:50am. There is no supervision
available prior to this time and the front doors will be
locked. Any arrival or pick up prior to or after these
times requires you to walk your child into/out of the
school building. If arriving late, please sign in your child
at the front office. Should a student need to leave early,
parents/caregivers must come to the office to sign the
student out. A staff member will get the student from
class. Please remember that only you or
someone you have authorized in writing may pick up
your child from school.

Arriving late to school, especially with regularity, truly
affects the social and academic progress of your child.
You MUST call the school if you are going to be later
than usual. Please do not contact your child’s teacher
-- contact the office directly.
Preschool (2nd and 3rd Floor Preschool)
All morning drop-offs at 9am will occur through the
front doors of the building. At 3:00 dismissal, we ask
that all parents wait outside the white gates. Children
will proceed out the front door and sit on our brand new
black benches, designed to create a more organized dis-
missal. One at a time, teachers will escort children to
you through the gate.
