For dress-up days, please keep in mind that costumes:

• Cannot contain weapons (real or toys)

• May not demean race, religion, nationality, or gender
• Must be appropriate for a full day of learning

For safety purposes, students are asked to wear sneakers with their costumes. 

School day start and end times

For the 2024 - 2025 school year, the first day of school is August 12, 2024. 

Please note new school hours for 2024-2025. School will begin at 8:00 am. Students arriving after 8:00 am will be considered tardy and need to pick up a tardy slip from the front office before going to their classroom. After-school pick up is on the white top at 3:20 pm. Please pick up your children in a timely manner as many teachers need to return to their classrooms for clean-up or tutoring.
