Attendance
Class instruction is conducted, Monday through Friday, beginning at 8:10 a.m. School concludes at 3:15 p.m. for grades K-2 and 3:30 p.m. for grades 3-5. After students are released from the classroom, they are not allowed to go back to their classrooms to pick up belongings.
Tardiness
Students who arrive at class after 8:20 a.m. will be documented as tardy. Repeated tardiness will negatively affect the student’s participation score and subsequently the overall grade.
Absence
Students who arrive at class after 8:30 a.m. will be documented as absent. Parents are encouraged to notify the school office about a scheduled absence. Absences for medical reasons documented by a licensed physician or absences for emergencies are considered excused absences.

Early pick-up
Parents are advised to send an advance notice to the teacher and school office if a child has a pre-scheduled medical appointment or other appointment. Students must be picked up at the main office.
School dismissal
After school is dismissed and children are released from the classrooms, students are not allowed to go back to their classrooms to pick up belongings. Such guidelines are placed to teach students to be responsible and take home the necessary homework material on a timely manner.
