A school day begins at 8:40 a.m. Elementary students may begin arriving at 8:30 a.m. Teachers will not receive students prior to 8:30 a.m. as they use this time for preparation. Students arriving after 8:45 a.m. are considered tardy.

Half-day Kindergarten students are dismissed promptly at 1:15 p.m. All other elementary school students are dismissed at 3:20 p.m. Half-day Kindergarten students picked-up after 1:30 p.m. will be charged a $1.00 per minute late fee. All other elementary students picked-up after 3:35 p.m. will be charged a $1.00 per minute late charge.

Consistent attendance is very important to academic progress. Personal days and vacations are not excused absences. If a child is picked up before 12:00 p.m., they will be counted as absent for the day.

In case of absence, the parent must write a dated note to the teacher explaining the reason for the absence. This note must be sent the day a student returns to school. There are no excused absences except for student illness, death in the immediate family, or medical and dental appointments.

Class work and assignments missed due to an excused absence or early check-out must be made up in a timely fashion.

Family vacations and trips should be scheduled during school vacations since it is often difficult for a child to make up work missed during an absence. Should it be necessary for a student to miss school for personal reasons, please procure permission from the administration several days in advance.

Any student with 21 un-excused absences over the course of the year will be required to repeat the grade.
