Our daily classroom instruction begins promptly at 7:45a.m. and goes until 3:00p.m.

If you are needing to sign your child out early for an appointment, we ask that you do so before 2:30p.m. 

The end of the day is hectic and we want to ensure each child goes home safely. If you arrive after 2:30p.m. to check your child out, we will ask you to wait until normal dismissal time at 3:00p.m.

Please help keep all our Owls safe and healthy by not smoking or vaping on school property, including at Dismissal.

Thank you!

If your child will be celebrating their birthday and would like to share the fun with their class, please notify the teacher first of when you would like to bring in store-bought cupcakes, cookies, donuts, or pre-cut brownies. Birthday celebrations typically happen near the end of the day so be sure to send the items in with your child when they come in in the morning.
