You may need to adjust bed times to accommodate their needs. • Give your child opportunities to tell about his or her day at school.

Please make sure your child arrives no earlier than 8:20 AM. • If your child is a bus rider PLEASE send them on the bus the first day of school. • At the end of the day I walk the children to the bus or to meet parents/adults. Please wait for your child by the East entrance. • Parents are not to enter the building to drop off or pick up their child.
