Dismissal: 10:15 AM to 10:30 AM This is the first alternating Wednesday scheduled as part of the district’s hybrid learning model. Please follow the usual drop off and pick up procedures, Thank you

TOMORROW, October 1, 2020, WE WELCOME BACK (TK-6th grade students) **If you plan on driving to campus, parking, and exiting your vehicle to pick up your child, please tell your kiddo that they are considered a walker. Walkers may exit from their assigned gate. The line behind the gate is only for those students loading into vehicles in our car line. If you plan on remaining in your vehicle and driving through the car line, please tell your kiddo to wait behind the gate u...ntil they are called. Please note that the upper grade car line is behind campus along the east side of our property. Signs will help direct you to the correct place. If you have both an upper grader (4th-6th) and a primary aged student (1st -3rd), you’ll pass by the upper grade car line first and then make your way to the primary car line at the front of the school. Parents are absolutely welcome to walk up onto campus to ensure children get to the correct gate, particularly on the very first day. We simply ask that parents not step into line with other children unless it is absolutely necessary. We’ll have stanchions or cones to help delineate where we’d like parents to release students, but it will be within eye sight of the gates. We know there may be some nerves on the first day, so we’ll simply need to work together as a team to keep everyone at a safe distance from one another. Please be on time for arrival and dismissal!
