School officially starts at 7:50 a.m. The school building opens at 7:20 a.m. The first school bell rings at 7:40 a.m., and the last bell rings at 7:50 a.m.

• Students arriving between 7:20 and 7:40 should go to the gym where they will be supervised until the bell rings.
• Any student arriving between 7:40 a.m. and 7:50 a.m. should report directly to their classroom.
• Students entering school after 7:50 a.m. are considered tardy and parent(s) will need to sign them in at the front office. Once the tardy bell rings, the personnel supervising carpool enter the building and security doors lock behind them. Please be aware that students will only be able to re-enter the building through the front doors after 7:50 a.m. and should be accompanied by the adult dropping them off.
• Walkers are dismissed at 2:45 p.m. Carpool begins at 2:50 p.m.

Some days, children will be dismissed from school early for conferences or holidays, and those times will be announced ahead with ample notice.
