Each student will sign the contract, and teachers will keep them on file in the classroom. Thank you for your support in reinforcing positive behavior!

Transportation Changes - Please make sure that you notify the teachers or the main office before 2:00 pm regarding Transportation changes. It is easier, if you send a written note to notify teachers. After 2:00 pm, it is difficult to get to all of the parent requests before dismissal.

Carline - Drop off for car riders begins at 7:20 am behind the gym/cafeteria. The tardy bell rings at 8 am. At 8 am, parents have to walk students up to the main office on Edwards Street to check them in. Please follow the carline directions for dismissal entering Hammond Street from Paul Street. Please be kind, and do not jump in line.
