Early Dismissal

PreK students may receive an early dismissal as late as 2:00 pm. Kdg-5th grade students may receive an early dismissal as late as 2:50 pm. After 2:00 for PreK and after 2:50 for Kdg-5th, students must be picked up at the regular dismissal time for their grade level.

 

Attendance

All students must be seated in their seats by 7:50 am. Instruction starts at 7:50 am. All students arriving to school after 7:50 am will be marked as tardy.

 Attendance will be taken at 10:00 each day.

All absences, excused or unexcused, always count against the student’s attendance record. Students must spend a minimum of 90% of the school year in school to be considered for promotion to the next grade level. Excused absences will be granted after administration reviews the notes provided by the guardians.
