Attendance

 

Prompt and regular attendance at school is very important to the education of children. It also instills in children important values and behavior patterns that carry throughout their lives. We strongly encourage parents to actively assist the school in teaching children the importance of being on time and attending school regularly.

 

Student arrival and dismissal times are as follows:  

 

Grades M, T, Th, F Wed
PEP/AM Kindergarten 8:00 - 11:20 8:00 - 11:20

Kindergarten and PEP students should arrive approximately 5 minutes prior to class beginning, and wait in front of the classrooms. All other students should arrive no earlier than 8:00 AM, which is when the upper (east) playground supervision begins. (There is no supervision prior to 8:00 AM). Parents may wait with their child on the upper playground on the east side of the school, but should leave campus once school begins unless volunteering in the classroom.
