Daily Schedule

Arrival/Dismissal

 Student Arrival:   Doors open for students at 8:40 a.m., and there is no adult supervision prior to that time. For your child’s safety, please do not drop off your child before 8:40 a.m. Staff will be on duty beginning at that time, and students arriving excessively early will prompt a phone call home as a reminder of this policy. Children should not be left unattended outside the school building.

Morning Drop-Off

If you arrive after the doors have closed and school has started, you must park on Pine Street and walk your child down the stairs to the main entrance. All parents must check in at the office and sign their child in—please bring a photo ID. Ring the bell, and a staff member will assist you as soon as possible. Please note: do not pull into the main front circle, as it is a designated fire lane.

Afternoon Dismissal

At dismissal, parents should again park on Pine Street and walk down the stairs to the gymnasium (Grades 3 & 4) or cafeteria (Grades K–2). A staff member will check your ID, verify your child's name, and sign them out to ensure a safe and smooth dismissal process. 

Reporting an Absence/Tardy

Parents/Guardians are asked to call the school each morning to report that a child is absent or tardy.

Please note new State Regulations - Connecticut State Law holds parents or guardians responsible for students attending school regularly during the hours and times that school is in session and it holds schools responsible for reporting this information to the district and state. In addition, Connecticut State Statute 10-220, Section C, holds schools responsible for reporting this information to the district and state. Current law defines truant as a student who has four unexcused absences in a month or ten unexcused absences in a school year. Please note, that a child’s first nine absences can be excused by a parent/guardian phone call; however, all absences beyond absence number nine requires official written documentation ( i.e. doctor’s note, court papers…) in order to be excused.
