New School Hours -- by Steve Zeal Dear Warrior families, As you are by now aware, this year we have moved the school start time from 8:00 a.m. to 8:15 a.m. Consequently, it has come to our attention that there may be some confusion as to the exact starting and finishing times of school this year. Please allow me to clarify this. Lower School – Pre-K - 5th grade Morning drop off will begin at 7:55 a.m. Faculty and safety patrol will be on duty at that time. Morning car line will end at 8:15 a.m. Students arriving after that time will be required to get a tardy slip from the front desk before going to class. Afternoon car line will begin at 3:20 p.m. Students will be called from the MPR at that time. No student will be dismissed early unless prior arrangements have been made. Afternoon dismissal will end at 3:40 p.m. Students who have not been picked up by this time will be taken to Extended Care where a fee may be assessed.
Afternoon car line will begin at 3:30 p.m. and end at 3:45 p.m. Students who have not been picked up must go to the SLC until their ride arrives. The later start to the school day has not affected instruction time in any way. No teaching time has been lost. Students in both lower and upper school receive exactly the same amount of instructional time as they did last year. There has been a question as to why lower school and upper school dismiss at different times. There are two reasons for this - (1) it helps to minimize traffic congestion in the main driveway where lower school and upper school vehicles merge and (2) it allows our families who have students in both lower and upper school to pick up all of their children in a timely and safe manner. The Lord’s richest blessings!
Upper School -- 6th - 12th grade Morning drop off will begin at 7:45 a.m. Students who arrive before 7:45 a.m. (tutoring, athletic practice, etc), must be directly supervised by a faculty or staff member. Morning arrival will end at 8:15 a.m. Students who arrive after this time are required to obtain a tardy slip from the upper school office before being admitted to class.
In observance of Labor Day Campus will be closed Monday, September 3, 2012 Classes resume Tuesday, September 4, 2011
