Daily Schedule

                                                   Tardy Policy
The instructional day begins at 7:50 AM.  Students are expected to be in their classroom and seated by 7:50 AM.  The tardy bell rings at 7:55 AM.  Students entering the building after the bell rings will be counted as tardy and must check in at the front office.  Upon the 5th tardy, students will be assigned to Saturday Truancy Center.  A parent/guardian must attend the Saturday assignment with the student.

                                            Parent Drop-Off and Pick Up
In the mornings, parents may begin dropping students at the covered area in the first parking lot at 7:05 AM.  The front entrance driveway is reserved for buses only until 7:30 AM.
 
In the afternoons, parents of K-4 students may begin picking up students at the covered area of the first parking lot at 3:05 PM.  Parents of PK students may begin picking up students in the front entrance driveway at 2:40 PM.  All students must be picked up by 2:50 PM.  Any parent arriving after that time must sign out their child at the front office.

Please reserve early pickups for emergencies only.  Teachers teach during every available moment of their day and the end of the day is vital for safe exiting procedures.  Any changes to student transportation must be made ONLY by a parent or guardian.  In order to avoid confusion, miscommunication, and transportation errors, please send a written note or call the office prior to 2:15 PM.  We will NOT be able to make transportation changes after 2:15 PM.

                                                      TEXTBOOKS
Students are issued textbooks and are responsible for those books.  It is the student’s responsibility to take care of the books.  Any lost or stolen books are the responsibility of the student.  The books belong to the State of Texas and are loaned to the student.  The book or the cost of the book must be returned to the State at the end of the book’s adoption.  Students will not be issued a new book until a lost or stolen book is replaced.  If a book is found after a student has paid for it, a refund check will be issued.  Book covers are provided for each student free of charge and must be used with each textbook by state law.
