The school day ends at 3:30 p.m. Your cooperation in this matter will greatly assist us in maintaining student safety.

In order to maximize your child’s academic performance as well as to enhance his/her overall Elementary experience, we encourage all parents to establish positive relationships with your child’s teachers.
