ARRIVING ON TIME TO SCHOOL 

Students who arrive after 8:42 are tardy and will need to receive a pass from the front office. Due to the volume of parents driving students to school in the morning, please allow yourself extra time so that your child will make it in the building on time and not be marked tardy. We appreciate your help with this.

CHROMEBOOK CASES 

Parents please talk with your students about not removing the protective case on their laptops. If the protective case is removed and damage occurs the insurance will not cover the cost.

PLEASE PICK UP STUDENTS IN CAR RIDER LINE 

Parents: For safety reasons please pick your children up in the car rider line, please do not pick students up in the teacher lot or on the road parallel to Cuthbertson Road.

ATTENTION PARENTS:  STUDENT APPOINTMENTS DURING THE DAY 

Please send a note in with your child if you will picking them up for an appointment during the day. By sending in a note your child will be in the front office waiting for you when you arrive this will help to limit the interruptions to our instructional time. The last early dismissal is at 3:00.

STUDENT ITEMS FORGOTTEN AT HOME

Students will not be called out of class for any items they forget at home. A note will be placed on the message board and it is the students responsibility to check the message board for any forgotten items. Cell phones will NOT be accepted as a drop off in the front office.
