Arrival, Dismissal, and Transportation Procedures
School Hours: 8:45 AM - 4:15 PM
- Our school day begins at 9:05 AM. Doors open for all students at 8:45 AM.
- As a courtesy, we open our doors for morning study hall at 8:15 AM each school day. It is highly recommended that students arrive early to school only with a specific reason (appointment with teacher, intramurals, etc.). When doors open at 8:15 AM, all students who have arrived early must report to our theater for silent study hall.
- No student should be dropped off before 8:15 AM; there is no supervision available prior to this time, and the front doors remain locked until 8:15 AM each morning.
- We recommend that students ride their assigned school bus to/from school daily. It is the safest and most efficient method of transportation.
- In the mornings, car riders must arrive in time to be in homeroom when the bell rings each morning at 9:05 AM to avoid being marked tardy.
- In the afternoons, all car-riders and students who walk should be off campus by 4:30 PM each afternoon. There is no after-school supervision beyond 4:30 PM.
- Students cannot be checked out after 3:45 PM. If you arrive to check out your student AFTER 3:45 PM, please accept our apologies, but we will not be able to call into classrooms. Students will be dismissed at the normal 4:15 PM dismissal time.
- Any last-minute transportation changes must be completed by 3:45 PM to ensure we have adequate time to communicate this with your student. For safety reasons, no transportation changes will be announced at the end of the day.
