What does a student need for each day?

Please support your learner by sending them to school daily with: 

  • Backpack

  • Water bottle

  • Long sleeve layer (our a/c is blasting right now!)

If your student needs any of the above items, we have them available--Please let your student's teacher know.

Optional Considerations:

  • Snack (meets our healthy snack policy)
  • Sunscreen
  • Hat (students are not allowed to wear hats inside, but they are welcomed outside for sun/heat protection!)

Remember, we provide all school supplies needed for the year--Please do not bring school supplies with you in the morning!

 

In Case You Missed It--ICYMI

Arrival Procedures

Each individual grade-level has a different location and procedure for the start of the school day. No parents are allowed inside the building during morning drop-off except for ECE. See map below for locations of drop-off!

  • ECE - Enter through Door #16 in front of the flagpole. Parents accompany student to classroom to sign them in each morning.

  • Kinder - Hand students off at Door #2 in front of the flagpole in the front of the building. 

  • 1st - Students line up near the Corona Street playground gate outside of Door #12. Teachers greet students and families at 9:00am on the playground at this spot.  

  • 2nd - Students line up on the 4-square courts located in the center of the blacktop on the playground. Teachers greet students and families at 9:00am on the playground at this spot.

Dismissal Procedures

Each individual grade-level dismisses from the exact same location as morning drop-off. ECE and kinder guardians must sign-out their students while 1st - 5th grade conduct a 1:1 physical high-five handoff. Middle school students are released at the bell and will exit the building via Door #10. 

We do not dismiss Kinder-5th grade students to older siblings without written permission from the parent/guardian.

We do not allow Kinder - 5th grade students to walk home alone without written permission from the parent/guardian.

If you have a unique dismissal need, please work with your students homeroom teacher by sending them an email this weekend.
