Arrival & Dismissal Map

Students should not arrive on campus until 8:05 a.m. as that is when gates will be opened and adult supervision begins.

If you must pick up your child early for an appointment or family emergency, please pick the child up before 3:00 p.m. (on early releasedays, before 1:30 p.m.).

Parents who arrive between 3:00 and3:15 p.m. or between 1:30 and1:45 p.m. on early release days will be asked to wait until the dismissal time. This will reduce the number of disruptions to our classrooms.
