We are excited to welcome students to campus each day and begin learning on time! Establishing consistent arrival and dismissal routines helps create a safe, organized, and successful school experience for all students.

Morning Arrival & Tardy Bell

The tardy bell rings at 7:45 AM. Students should arrive on campus with enough time to enter the building, get settled, and be prepared for the start of the school day.

Families can help students have a successful morning by:

  • Arriving early to allow time for drop-off and campus entry
  • Ensuring students are prepared with all necessary materials before arriving
  • Reviewing campus arrival procedures and expectations
  • Encouraging students to begin each day with a positive mindset and readiness to learn

Students arriving after the tardy bell will be marked tardy according to campus attendance procedures.

Dismissal Information

The school day ends at 3:00 PM. Our dismissal process is designed to ensure every student is safely released to their approved transportation method.

Families are encouraged to:

  • Review transportation plans with students before the first day of school
  • Keep emergency contact information and transportation updates current
  • Follow campus dismissal procedures to help maintain a safe and efficient process
  • Be patient during the first few days of school as students and families learn new routines

Thank you for partnering with us to create a safe, welcoming, and successful school environment. Consistent attendance and timely arrival help students make the most of every learning opportunity!
