Students arriving at school between 7:35 a.m. and 7:55 a.m. will be allowed to wait quietly in the cafeteria or gym. Parents are asked to drop off their children at school at 7:35 a.m. or later. Breakfast is served from 7:35a.m.-7:55 a.m. for those interested.
- School instruction begins at 8:00. Students should be in their classrooms at that time. Students who are not in class on time will be marked tardy. However; if lateness is due to late bus arrival, the student is not considered tardy. All children who are tardy must report to the office upon their arrival at school.
- School dismissal is at 3:15 p.m. Students will begin boarding the buses at that time. Parents who pick up their children should do so in the cafeteria.

The district attendance policy is described in School Board Policy 5200. Here is an excerpt: “State law requires the Board of Education to enforce the regular attendance of students. Further, the Board recognizes that the District’s educational program is predicated upon the presence of the student and requires continuity of instruction and classroom participation. The regular contact of students with one another in the classroom and their participation in a well-planned instructional activity under the tutelage of a competent teacher are vital to this purpose. All children between six (6) and eighteen (18) years of age shall attend school regularly during the full period and hours, religious holidays excepted, that the school in which the child is enrolled is in session until the end of the term, quarter, or semester of the school year in which the child becomes eighteen (18) years of age, unless they fall under an exception under State law, this policy, or administrative guideline issued under this policy. A child who is enrolled in five (5) year-old kindergarten shall attend school regularly, religious holidays excepted, during the full period and hours that kindergarten is in session until the end of the school term.” Full policy information is available in School Board Policy 5200.
