Help your students to Beat the Bell!
Any student who arrives to school late, 8:01 AM or later, must be signed into the school office by an adult. Please park your vehicle in a parking space, ring the doorbell and come into the school office to sign in your child(ren).

If you are pulling into the bus or car rider loop and your child will not make it into the front door by 8:01 AM, please do not drop off your student. Park and come in. Parents will be called back to school if their student arrives to the front door without a parent.

Students who Beat the Bell will be entered into a weekly drawing.
