This year we have decided to implement the "Kiss and Go" routine beginning the first day of school. We would like you to give your child kisses and hugs at the bus stop or before they get out of the car. While we understand that this may be an adjustment, we believe it is a necessary step to enhance the safety of our students and staff. Your child's safety is our top priority and a consistent drop-off procedure for all families helps create a safer and more predictable environment. This new practice minimizes the number of individuals moving through the school's common areas during busy drop-off times. There will be staff members outside and inside the building greeting students and helping them to their classrooms. For everyone’s safety, please do not walk your child into the building unless you have an appointment with a staff member. If your child arrives after the school start time, you must sign your child in at the front office.
