Families: Fall weather brings cool temperatures and rainy days. Please be aware that student drop off time is at 8:20 am. We do not have adult supervision prior to that time, so we do not open the doors before 8:20. For this reason, we discourage early car rider drop offs and ask for students to remain in their vehicles until the doors open. Knowing that we also have a lot of walkers and bike riders, we also want households to be aware of this restriction in case you have an "early bird" student who may be leaving the house much earlier than needed. The arrival window is 8:20 to 8:50 am. Monitoring their cold weather gear and reminding students about the responsibility of masks and social distancing whenever they are on campus will help to keep students safe and healthy.
