Student Hours
Students may enter the school building between 7:45 a.m. and 8:15 a.m. There is no adult supervision for students prior to 7:45 a.m. Students report to class when they arrive unless they get breakfast before reporting to class. Our school day officially begins at 8:15 a.m.; therefore, any students arriving after 8:15 a.m. are officially tardy. If your child arrives after 8:15 a.m., please park in a designated parking spot, and ring the bell for a staff member to come and sign him/her in so he/she can receive a tardy pass. A student who is consistently tardy misses vital instruction. Please strive to have your children at school on time daily. It will help to develop a positive pattern for them as they mature.
Morning Arrival for Car Riders
Parents may drop off students beginning at 7:45 a.m. The designated area for drop off is the front loop in front of the office. Staff members will assist students exiting vehicles so parents can remain in their vehicles. For the safety of all students, we ask that all parents refrain from dropping off their children in any other location.
Notifying Staff of Changes in Afternoon Dismissal Plans
If you know your child’s typical dismissal plan will change, please notify the office. If an emergency arises and you need to make a last minute change, please call the school office at (804) 723-3640. Please do not e-mail or text transportation changes.
Early Dismissal for Appointments
If your child has a medical appointment that requires early dismissal, please write a note to make your child’s teacher and the office staff aware. Parents who wish to pick their children up prior to our regular dismissal (2:20 p.m.) should do so in the office before 2:00 p.m. After 2:45 p.m., teachers dismiss students in the front office loop.
Afternoon Dismissal for Car Riders
If you plan to pick your child up from school at dismissal, please enter the front loop in front of the office. Be sure you display your blue car loop pass on the passenger side of your dashboard. If you need an additional pass, we have them in the front office. Please stay in your vehicle and pull up to the next available cone. A staff member will escort your child to your vehicle. You do not have to exit your car at any time.
