Updated Arrival & Dismissal

Due to increased enrollment during the first week of school, the school administrators have made some slight adjustments to which entrance is used by which grade level. These changes should help with the flow of students entering the building.

  • PreK - 2nd Grade: Use the far entrance, closest to the playground
    **This door closes at 7:50am. After 7:50, use the front entrance

  • 3rd - 7th Grade: Use the front entrance.
    **6th & 7th must enter on the right side, to go through the metal detectors

  • 8th Grade: Use the side entrance, on St. Francis
    **This door also includes metal detectors


Early dismissal: The cut-off time for early release is 2:30pm.

Review the Arrival & Dismissal page on the PTA Website for updated maps and additional details

Room Parent
Car Line Helper

We are always looking for volunteers to help students get out of vehicles in the mornings and in the afternoons.  These can be parents, grandparents, neighbors, and other members of the community.

Helping in this way frees up our teachers to spend their time preparing for lessons, grading schoolwork, and the many other important aspects of their job!

We're mid-way through our first month of school, and over $100 ahead of our earnings at this same time last year!!  Check out the Box Tops for Education page on our PTA website for additional information about how to join or refer your family and friends.
