Children are dismissed at 3:25 p.m. (For scheduled early dismissals, pick up starts at 1:20 p.m.) The adult picking up your child will park in the gym parking lot. Then please form a line by the outside gym doors and wait till your child is dismissed.
School Lunch
Menus are released monthly and you can set up a declining balance account for your child(ren) at www.payschoolscentral.com. Children will receive a pin number or will be able to use their name to purchase on their account. Younger children will receive a lunch card to help remember their pin.

Children with severe allergies have a designated table in the cafeteria to eat at safely. Each classroom is typically nut free. You will receive communication from your child’s teacher on the first day regarding any other restrictions that may apply for food in the classroom.
