Please keep in mind the following as you plan and prepare for the new schedules:
- Changes are not guaranteed and are only made if there is space available.
- No changes will be made in August / last day before the Christmas holiday / last day of school in June.
- Any notice given less than one school day in advance of the change will not be accepted.
- Many of the activities require a bus change request that MUST be submitted at least one full school day in advance of the activity, to provide ample time to process it.
- No early pick up / dismissal is allowed during the Early Release Day (ERD).
- All students are required to take the 3:00 p.m. school bus at dismissal, except for students with approved walker status. Parents who would like to pick up their child closer to the school area are requested to consider changing to a closer bus stop or to arrange early pick up from school prior to 1:30 p.m., if needed. Please refer to the Arrival and Dismissal Procedures for further details.
