ATTENDANCE 
SCHOOL ARRIVAL AND DISMISSAL: 
Students should arrive at school between 7:45 and 7:55 a.m. Parents bringing students to school should drop them off at Exit 1 or 2, 
or when the park is open (Spring and Fall), at Exit 8. The school building will open at 7:30 a.m. for early arrivals. These students 
should report directly to the gym and remain there until they are dismissed to class. Those eating breakfast should go directly to the 
multi-purpose room. Before 7:30 a.m., early arriving students should wait outside the building. Unless it is absolutely necessary, drop-
offs and walkers should not arrive before 7:45 a.m.
All busses arrive between 7:40 and 7:50 a.m. Only students eating breakfast are permitted to get off the bus before 7:50 a.m. when 
students are dismissed from the bus and the gym. Students will be counted tardy at 8:00 a.m. 
Student dismissal for grades K-6 will be between 2:45 and 3:00 p.m. depending on the grade level. Students not riding the bus will 
be picked up at Exit 2 (paved parking lot at west end of the school) or exit 8 (park) after the buses have left. Pick up areas 
will be supervised until 3:10. 
EARLY DISMISSAL: 
1. If a student needs to leave school before the regularly scheduled time, he/she should bring a note from home and give it to the 
teacher and the office. Parents are to report to the office to pick up their child in case of any requested early dismissal. The office 
will then call to the student’s room and have the student sent to the office. Parents are not to go directly to the classroom.
Students leaving school after 1:15 p.m. and before regular dismissal time will be marked as tardy p.m. on their attendance. 
LATE ARRIVAL: 
Promptness is a habit that should be formed early. Students are expected to be at school on time and in their classroom seats when 
classes begin at 8:00 a.m. Tardiness disturbs the entire class. Students arriving late are to report to the office upon arrival, accompa-
nied by an adult. A pass will be issued for the student to enter class. If students are riding a bus that is delayed, students should report 
to their classroom upon arrival. Students arriving after 8:00 a.m. but before 9:30 a.m. will be counted tardy in the morning. Tardiness 
will be handled as below (each semester): 
Tardiness 
Tardy 1-2 ................... Warning 
Tardy 3 ...................... Parent Notification through the Harmony System, a letter sent home, or via phone
