Students may go to their classroom at 8:35 A.M.
Please do not go to the classroom prior to this time. This gives the teachers time to prepare for the activities of the day. Students should NOT be dropped off prior to 8:35 A.M., unless they are registered to attend the Morning Program in the cafeteria.
Classes begin at 8:50 A.M.
Students are considered tardy after this time. Many of the teachers plan seat work for the students at the beginning of the school day. We appreciate your consideration in this matter.

Parents may wait outside of the building for their children. K-2 students will either go to the afterschool program, be dismissed directly to an adult by the cafeteria entrance, or board a bus to return home. Students in grades 3-5 will either go to the afterschool program, independently meet an adult outside of the school at a prearranged location, or board a bus to return home.
Visitors to the School
All visitors are required to report to the main entrance, sign in, and get a school visitor badge. When you have completed the visit, please return to the main entrance to sign out. Students should be picked up or dropped off during the school day at the main entrance. Visitations to classrooms for any purpose require advanced permission from the building principal. This allows teachers the opportunity to arrange their schedules to accommodate such requests.
Student Attendance
Parents/Guardians are required by NY State, to submit a note of explanation to the school, if their child is absent, tardy or being dismissed early.
