LOWER SCHOOL HOURS
Academic classes and the official school day begin promptly at 9:00 a.m. We request that students arrive at school by 8:45 A.M. to be prepared to start learning at 9:00 a.m.
Students arrive at school between 8:30 and 8:45 A.M
EEC students can go to their classrooms or the hallway
Grade 1-5 can go to the Lower Field
Students arriving after 9:00 A.M are considered tardy and should come to the Lower School Office for a tardy pass. Please do not bring students to school before 8:30 A.M. as there is no supervision.
Classes end at 3:45 P.M. for all Lower School students.
Lower School students are picked up from their classrooms. Teachers escort bus riders and ASA attendees. All students must be actively supervised after school.
After 3:55 P.M. , students must be collected by parents from the LS Office.
Parents are asked not to go directly to classrooms during class hours, as this interferes with the academic day of the other students.
If a parent has an important or urgent message for a teacher about dismissal or after-school plans, do not send an email to the teacher. Teachers rarely have time to look at their emails during the day, and your email will most probably not be read before 4:00 p.m.
If there is a change in transportation plans, including an early pick-up, it should be notified through the Transportation Changes App in PowerSchool (see Transportation Changes).
