Students may also bring a lunch and purchase a drink - milk, chocolate milk and fruit beverage will be available for $0.25. Students who bring a lunch to school should use an insulated lunch bag to prevent food spoilage. Be sure to label all lunch bags or boxes with your child's name.

As in the past, lunches will not be offered on 1/2 days. Students attending Extended Care should bring a lunch. If your child is tardy, you must send a bag lunch or call in ahead of time to add their name to the lunch count. We order lunch by 9:00 a.m. each morning.

Drop-Off and Pick-up Procedures

Students may be dropped off at the door by the office any time after 7:00 a.m. In accordance with our school's accreditation and in order for our drop-off procedure to be safe and timely, please do not escort your children into the building (...with the exception of PreK and K5, during the first week of school).

All students must be picked up by 3:00 p.m. on a regular school day, and 12:10 p.m. on 1/2 days or they will be checked into Extended Care. During pick-up, the Family Name Card should be visible from the driver's window. For the safety of the children, please drive slowly and follow all procedures in the parking lot. No children are to wait at the city park or any other place outside of school property. Any students remaining after pick-up MUST go to Extended Care.

Medications Dispensed at School

Only prescription medicines will be dispensed during school hours. A form must be filled out and signed by your physician before the medicine can be distributed at school.

Safety Guidelines

• The parent of the child MUST park their vehicle and walk inside of school to retrieve their child from the coach, teacher, tutor, scout leader or other volunteer. No student may leave by themselves after an after school activity.
• Students are not allowed to walk outside to their car unattended.
• If a student is going to Extended Care after their activity the coaches, tutors, teachers, scout leaders or other volunteer must check students into Extended Care with Mrs. Sadler – students are not to walk from their activity to Extended Care by themselves.
• Students not picked up from an after school activity will automatically be checked into Extended Care.
• The wrought iron gate by the middle school door should be closed at all times.
• During the school day anyone coming into the building must check in with the office. There is a Visitor Sign-In Sheet at the front desk.
