Important Notes:
- Breakfast, lunch and snack are not provided. Students must bring a lunch and snack each day. Students will not be allowed to order food or leave to get food.
- Should the weather allow, students will go outside for recess time.
- Your child’s safety is paramount and therefore they will not be released to any non-guardian unless their name is on the list of approved pickups. Anyone on that list must present a photo ID to the attendant at the front desk before they will be allowed to pick up your child.
- A $1 late fee is charged every minute for pick-ups after 6:05pm per family. For example, if a child is picked up at 6:06, the family is charged $1. If a child is picked up at 6:21, the family is charged a $16 fee, and so on. If a child is picked up at or before 6:05, there is no charge to the family. Extenuating circumstances will be taken into consideration for late pick-ups.
