BEFORE SCHOOL

District policy states that students are not to arrive at school earlier than 10 minutes before class begins at 8:00 am or 9:15 am since no formal supervision is provided. If you leave for work early, we encourage you to make needed arrangements for your children with a neighbor or babysitter. Children may ride bicycles or scooters to school, but they are not allowed in the building. Students should walk items on school property and secure their bikes or scooters upon arrival. Do not play on or near the bikes during the school day. Do not ride bikes on the blacktop before and after school. Rollerblades are not permitted on school grounds. Students who choose to rollerblade to school should remove them and put on shoes prior to entering school grounds. Skateboards are not allowed at school, as they cannot be locked up.
