Just a reminder!
Early Childhood school hours are 8:15-2:15. Students should be at their designated door by 8:15. Early Childhood teachers will open doors at 8:15 and close doors by 8:20. This should allow enough time for those parents dropping children off at K0 and K1 doors. Please be sure to stay with your child until you see that they entered the building. Safety is at the forefront of every policy we have. Please make every effort to be on time. Any student arriving after the doors are closed should enter through the front door on East Broadway. Parents/Guardians must wait with their child in the foyer until an early childhood staff member is available to escort your child to their classroom.
