The toddler program phase-in takes several weeks and requires the parent to attend on a regular basis.
This is the day for new-to-the-school primary students to come to the school.
This is usually the first three days of school. All primary children will attend one day of the phase-in.
Day 1:
All elementary students:
Returning students: AM
New students: PM
Day 2:
Early Elementary until 1 PM
Upper Elementary--All day
7th & 8th Grade--All day
Everyone brings lunch
Day 3:
All elementary students--All day
These phase-in schedules are designed to meet the developmental needs of the growing child.
During the summer we will send you information about the exact scheduling for the first days of school.
Our three-day primary programs are open to younger children whose parents prefer not to have their children in school every day. Because we have integrated classrooms with mixed ages and mixed programs, we may schedule some special events on days when your child is not in school. It is natural and appropriate that a child attending five days a week will engage in more activities than a child attending for three days.
Drop off and pick up your children at the curbside entrance to the school. The teachers, assistants, and safety patrol will be there to help the children into and out of cars.
Promptness is important. It is very important that the children be brought to school on time and be picked up promptly after school. A child who is late loses an essential part of the curriculum and disrupts the class. When you pick up a child late, the teacher must use time that belongs to classroom preparation or break. Please be considerate by being on time.
Drop-off and pick-up times are listed above. Except for children who ride the bus, any child who is dropped off earlier than drop-off time or picked up later than pick-up time will be placed in extended care and parents will be billed.
For the safety of the children and to reduce miscommunications and confusion, parents must send a note to the teacher if ANYONE other than the parent or designated caregiver is picking up the child. This means when your child is going to a friend's house, or when a relative or friend is picking up your child, you must send written notice. You must communicate changes in afternoon transportation for elementary students in the same manner. Please make all changes before 2:30 p.m., except in the case of an emergency. Changes in busing and pick-up made at dismissal time will not be allowed.
