Being on time and present every day helps you succeed — and keeps you eligible for fun school events!

Be On Time:

  • Class starts at 8:25 AM sharp!

  • Gates open at 7:45 AM – arrive early to get to class and settle in.

  • You must be in your seat before the second bell rings or you’ll be marked tardy.

  • Wednesdays are early dismissal days – school ends at 12:43 PM.

Important Reminders About Absences:

  • If you’re absent, please email medical documentation when possible.

  • Be sure to contact your teacher and complete any missed assignments to stay on track.
