    Arrival/Dismissal

    • Arrival:
      Students may arrive at school no earlier than 7:00 AM. Upon arrival, they should:

      • Go directly to the classroom to unpack.
      • Use the restroom.
      • Visit the cafeteria to get breakfast (if needed).
      • Complete their morning work.

      Students will turn in their homework folders to me, and I will return them after review.

    • Dismissal:
      School dismisses daily at 2:10 PM.
