  • Please ensure your child is prepared with outdoor clothing and footwear for all weather conditions.
  • All students enjoy 20 minutes of fresh air at lunch (weather permitting) and some physical education classes outside, and this time is much more enjoyable if they are dressed for the weather.
  • Families are encouraged to review this checklist to be prepared for using transportation every school day and throughout the school year. Transportation Family Checklist
  • Please ensure your child is prepared with outdoor clothing and footwear for all weather conditions.
  • Students should not arrive at school before 8:55 a.m. (Soft entry starts at 9:03 a.m.)

Parking Reminders

  • Please do not park or drop off students in the bus zone in front of the school between 7 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
