Student Breakfast Arrival
Students may begin entering the building at 8:30 AM for breakfast. School begins at 9 AM. All students enter the building on the side for breakfast where the bus lane is. Students should only enter through the front doors beginning at 9:00 AM. Please note, students are unsupervised prior to 8:30 AM, so we encourage you not to drop them off prior to this time. Breakfast is available to all students.
Late Arrivals
Students arriving after 9:00 AM must be signed in to the blue late log. The logs are located right outside the office on the desk by the window. When marking your students in late, please make sure you are providing the reason. Marking "appointment" is not an excused absence, please make sure you are providing the appointment type.
Early Leaves
If your student is going home a different way than normal, please call the office at (614) 365-6135, prior to 2:45 PM to ensure these messages are delivered to the classroom teacher in a timely manner. The office is busy with dismissal from 3:15 PM- 3:30 PM and unable to answer the phone during that time.
Students can only be signed out early by an adult who is 18 and over. A valid ID must be provided upon pickup. The pickup person must be listed on Infinite Campus in order to pick a student up early.
