Students are not to come to school or be dropped off at the school before the 7:30 A.M bell. SUPERVISION IS NOT PROVIDED FOR STUDENTS ON CAMPUS BEFORE 7:30 A.M. or after 3:00 P.M. The school or the Polk County School Board cannot be held liable for any harm that may befall a student who arrives at school prior to this designated time of 7:30 A.M. or is not picked up from school by 3:00 P.M.

Breakfast is served from 7:30 A.M. until 8:00 A.M. Teachers and staff will be here at 7:30 to accept students into their classrooms in preparation for the day. Any student who is not in his/her classroom by 8:00 A.M. will be marked absent.

Tardy students will be afforded the opportunity to pick up a breakfast-to-go on their way to class.

Students arriving to school after 8:00 A.M. MUST report to the main office with a parent. The agenda will be stamped and signed by both the parent and a staff member as a pass to class and the student will be marked tardy. Late entry into the classroom interrupts classroom procedure and instruction. Please do NOT drop your child off in the parking lot, if late. Parents must walk their child(ren) to the office when tardy and explain the reason for the tardiness to the office.

At the beginning of the school year, please discuss with your child's teacher how you expect him/her to get home. If there is a change in your standard routine, please send a note to your child's teacher. IF A NOTE IS NOT RECEIVED BY THE TEACHER, THE CHILD WILL BE SENT HOME HIS/HER REGULAR WAY. These arrangements must be planned ahead of time. Please plan for inclement weather. (Reminder: Bus students may NOT change buses or bus stops without written permission from the District's Transportation Department).

There will be no early dismissal after 2:45 p.m. due to end of day preparation. Any adult checking a student out of school must be listed on each student's emergency card and provide a valid driver's license or a valid government issued I.D. to the office staff. Students will not be released to an adult who is not listed on the emergency card or who is unable to present a valid license. Early dismissal is discouraged as it interrupts the educational process of all students. We appreciate your assistance in this matter, for the safety of your child(ren).
