Please do not sign out your child early unless it is absolutely necessary. There can be No changes to how a student gets home after 2:30 pm. This will help ensure that your child gets home safely. 

    First graders will go to YELLOW parent pick-up (auditorium on the east side of the building), unless your first grader has a sibling in Pre-K, 3rd or 4th grade. If so, he/she will go to the ORANGE parent pick-up area (little gym on the south side of the building) with their sibling.
