The tardy bell will ring at 8:30am. Instruction starts promptly at 8:30am, so it is imperative that your child arrive on time to receive all necessary instruction. If your child would like breakfast, it begins at 8:00am and continues being served until 8:25am. We are very happy to announce that our school breakfast and lunch will be free this school year for ALL students! All students in Grades 1-6 are to be dropped off in the morning at the main entrance of the building on Union Street no earlier than 8:00am. Students must stay in the car with their ride until they reach the front of the school building. Dismissal Times and Locations -Students who are picked up in Preschool and Kindergarten are dismissed at 2:20pm from their classroom door. -Students who are picked up in grades 1, 2, and 3 will start dismissing at 2:35pm. You will receive a car mirror tag on the first day of school as you drop them off that will identify what children you bring and pick up from school with an assigned number. We will provide you an extra car mirror tag as needed for people you list on the emergency medical form as being allowed to pick your child up from school. You must arrive between 2:35pm and 2:50pm, pull into a numbered spot, wait in your vehicle and wait for your child to come to the vehicle. We will have adults, as well as traffic scouts, to help the children get to their car safely. Your patience through this process will be greatly appreciated as we are sure there will be kinks to work out at the beginning. -Students who are picked up in grades 4, 5 and 6 will start dismissing at 2:45 pm.
