It
is very important that children be on time for school.
Arrival
for Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten
is between 8:45 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. PK and K children are
greeted at your car by the staff and assisted out of their seatbelts
and the car. They are personally escorted into the classroom and
guided to begin their daily routines. We request that this time
be used for a pleasant parting and not a conference
time between you and the staff. The staff's primary responsibility
at that time is safety and if one is distracted in conversation,
a child might be hurt. Conferences can be scheduled before or
after school as needed. If your child is distressed initially,
please have confidence and trust in us. Allow us time to build
trust with your child and to soothe the feelings during the transition.
The initial fuss is often over before you exit our drive.
At
dismissal, we will again personally escort your PK or K child
back to your car. It may take us a few minutes but please refrain
from coming into the classroom.
Arrival
for Elementary is between 8:30 a.m. and 8:45 a.m.
Elementary students are greeted at the car just outside of the
lower level entrance. To foster independence and responsibility,
they are encouraged to enter the coatroom entrance on their own.
All
parents are asked to drive with caution. Please make every effort
to time your arrival during these windows as lessons need to begin
on time. This is especially important in the elementary classroom.
Attendance records of elementary age children will reflect not
only attendance but punctuality.
Dismissal
times are:
Noon for PK
3 PM for K
3:15 for Elementary.
