Please remember that Barry Buck money is taken on Thursdays prior to 10:30 am. Barry Bucks ARE NOT sold on Fridays. Also, if you would like to change your child’s transportation PLEASE call the office prior to 2:15pm. This ensures we have time to email the transportation team and also get notes to each teacher that needs the information so we can get your kiddos home the correct way.

On November 1st, we will host our Fall Carnival. Teachers set up games and booths around the school and we will sell tickets and wristbands.

Wristbands do not work at the snack shack and tickets must be purchased for snacks at the Snack Shack.

School Hours

• In an effort to keep our students safe, all visitors must stop at the front desk, show ID, and sign in. Teachers are available before and after school to visit with parents. In order to limit classroom disruptions, we will be glad to schedule classroom visits or visits with the teacher as needed.
• Please make sure the people who will be picking your children up are on their emergency card. Students will not be released to individuals who are not on the emergency cards.
• Transportation changes need to happen before 2:15. This is for the safety of your child!
• School Hours: 7:30 - 4:00
• Doors are unlocked daily from 7:30 - 4:00
• Tardy bell rings at 8:00, release bell rings at 3:00.
• If your child arrives after 8:00 you will need to sign him/her in at the front office.
• PLEASE keep in mind that adult supervision does not begin on the playground until 7:30. Our crossing guard also does not start duty until 7:30 for students who walk.

My door is almost always open and my email is another great way to reach me. I am often out of the office while doing walkthroughs, making classroom visits, teaching lessons, and doing cafeteria duty; however, I am happy to meet with anyone and ask that you schedule a time so I can accommodate you in my schedule.
