Middle School Morning Arrivals
A friendly reminder that the Middle School day begins at 8 a.m. Doors open at 7:45 a.m. Students should NOT arrive at school before 7:45 a.m. The school day concludes at 2:53 p.m. every day.
We have noticed that some students are being dropped off as early as 7:15 a.m. and this is a safety concern as the School cannot provide adult supervision until 7:45 a.m. Also, if you child arrives AFTER the 8 a.m. start time, parents MUST park and walk their child into the Front Office to sign-in for the day so we have a record of their presence in the building for safety reasons.
