School Office: 8:15am- 5:00pm
During the school office hours, parents and visitors can get assistance from office staff either by telephone or in person.
Student Arrival: NO EARLIER than 9:10 am
Students cannot arrive to school before 9:10 a.m., as there is no adult supervision for your child prior to that time. Your child arriving to school prior to 9:10 a.m. jeopardizes their safety.
Breakfast: 9:10 a.m. - 9:35 a.m.
Only those students who are eating breakfast will be allowed into the lunchroom during this time. Any students who arrive after 9:40a.m. will NOT be served a school breakfast in order to avoid a classroom disruptions.
Tardiness: AFTER 9:45
School starts at 9:35 a.m. Any student who arrives after 9:45 a.m. is considered tardy and must report immediately to the office and receive a tardy pass. Tardy students will not be accepted into class without a pass from the office. Students who repeatedly come to school late may be reported to the Department of Children & Family Services.
Student Dismissal: 4:05 p.m
Grades K-4th pick up is on Camden Avenue
Grades 5th-8th pick up is on Halle Avenue (main entrance)
Kindergarten students who will be picked up by a sibling should be picked up from their teacher in the front of the building. Parents will not be allowed to enter the building during dismissal and should wait outside at their child's designated dismissal area to meet their child. This school policy is necessary to maximize the safety of all our students. If there is a need to speak to the principal or assistant principal, please call the main office to schedule an appointment at a later date as the principal's focus at this time is a safe and orderly dismissal.

Also, STUDENTS WILL NOT BE DISMISSED EARLY from school after 3:30 p.m. After 3:30 p.m., PARENTS MUST WAIT OUTSIDE until students are dismissed. Parents who repeatedly pick their child up early from school may be reported to the Department of Children & Family Services.
Late Pick-up: After 4:30 p.m., ALL students MUST be signed out by a parent or other designee. Parents who repeatedly pick their child up late from school may be reported to the Department of Children & Family Services.
