Everyday Info

Spill Proof Lids!

Dear Parents,

We're asking that students bring a reusable water bottle with a lid that closes tightly to school each day, with their name on it!

*WATER ONLY*

Having water readily available is important for your child's health and ability to focus in class. However, to keep our classroom and your child's belongings safe, we need to make sure we're avoiding spills. A lid that seals completely helps prevent accidents that could damage learning materials, school technology, or other students' work.

Thank you for your help in making our classroom a safe and productive learning environment for everyone!

Arrival Procedures

To ensure a smooth start to the day, please note our arrival procedures:

Doors open at 7:00 AM.
Car riders need to exit the vehicle on the right side of the vehicle to go directly to the sidewalk. This helps keep students safe and out of the drive lane.
Students who need breakfast can head directly to the cafeteria upon arrival.
After breakfast, students will proceed to the gym, where they will remain until 7:35 AM.
At 7:35 AM, students will be dismissed to their classrooms.
The late bell rings at 7:50 AM. To avoid being counted late, students should be in their classrooms by this time.
If your student arrives after 7:50 AM, a parent or guardian will need to come inside and sign them in at the front office.

Dismissal Procedures

Dismissal is organized to ensure every student gets home safely. Students will be dismissed as car riders, bus riders, or Star Care participants. More detailed information about Star Care is provided below.

Car riders will go to the gym at 2:30 PM and will be dismissed to their cars from there.
Please have your child enter your vehicle from the right side, directly from the sidewalk. This helps keep students safe and out of the drive lane.
Once your child is in the car, please have them buckle up as quickly as possible. This allows us to keep the line moving efficiently for everyone.

New Visitor Information!!

Parents,

We are excited to announce that our district is adopting the Raptor Safe mobile app as part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing school safety and streamlining visitor management in our schools. This app builds on our existing visitor procedures, offering a more convenient and secure check-in process for everyone.

What is the Raptor Safe App?

The Raptor Safe app offers a convenient and secure way for visitors to manage and verify their identity before arriving at a school. With the Raptor Passport feature, visitors can pre-verify their identity, allowing for a seamless sign-in process when they arrive on campus.

How Does It Work?

When visiting a school, visitors can use their secure QR code generated by the app to expedite the check-in process. QR codes automatically regenerate every 5 minutes to ensure security and prevent misuse.

Getting Started

The Raptor Safe app is available to all visitors across the district. To download the app, please visit RaptorSafe App

For questions or assistance, please contact your school office. Thank you for helping us keep our schools safe.

This is for volunteers, those eating lunch/breakfast with students, and mentors.
