Welcome back! We hope you and your children enjoyed a restful break. As we return to school, we would like to take a moment to share a few important reminders to help ensure a smooth and safe school day for all students.
School Hours:
Please be mindful of our daily school hours: Doors open at 8:00 a.m., and instruction begins promptly at 8:15 a.m. School dismisses at 3:15 p.m. Please ensure students arrive on time and are picked up promptly. Consistent attendance and timely arrivals are essential to student success.
Early Dismissal:
Early dismissal takes place between 2:00–2:45 p.m. Please note that after 2:45 p.m., the school does not have the capacity to release students. We appreciate your cooperation in planning appointments and transportation accordingly.

As a reminder, per district policy, student cell phones are strictly prohibited at school. This policy supports a focused and safe learning environment for all students.
Celebrations and Food Items:
The school is unable to accept or distribute food, sweet treats, or beverages brought in to celebrate birthdays or holidays. Only non-food items (such as pencils, stickers, or small trinkets) may be shared with students.
We appreciate your continued partnership and support as we work together to maintain a safe, orderly, and positive learning environment. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the school office.
