If you report to the car ride lane after 7:30, you will need to drive around to the front entrance. After 7:35 all students must be checked in at the front office by an adult.
All parents and visitors will be required to present a valid ID for checkout and school visitation.
Any individual checking a student out or visiting the campus must be listed in PowerSchool
Lunch visits are permitted after October 1 for safety purposes
If you have a student who is a bus rider, please download the Here Comes the Bus App. Our school’s code is 29081. To track your child’s bus you will need their Student ID number. If you do not know your child’s Student ID number, a written request should be submitted to your child’s teacher. The teacher will provide the number on a physical piece of paper in response, as this information will not be shared electronically for personal identification protection. Bus riders should be standing at the bus stop 10-15 minutes early, wait for the driver’s hand signal if crossing the road, follow all bus rules, and K-2 students must be accompanied by an adult or older sibling for drop-off and pickup. If unaccompanied, they may be brought back to school for parent pickup
In our attempt to maximize instructional learning, student checkout will not be permitted after 2:00 p.m. Special circumstances will be evaluated on an individual basis by administration.
We appreciate your continuous support. Please contact the school at 910-259-0145 if you have any questions or concerns.
Have a wonderful evening!
