August 9th- Kindergarten Transition Day for all Kindergarten students and all students in our Autism Program!
Kindergarten students across the school division will participate in a soft start for school this year. August 9th is the first day of school for Kindergarten students and students in our autism program. Kindergarten students will be assigned a teacher for the first day of school, but will work with all teachers on transition day. Some adjustments to teacher assignments may be made after transition day as needed to ensure the best placement for all students. *Please reference the attached letter from Spotsylvania County Schools for explanations of the Kindergarten transition this year.
August 12th- First day of school for all students
We will welcome all of our lions back to school for the first day on Monday, August 12th to include Grades K-5. Drop off begins at 8:25 am and the tardy bell rings at 8:45 am. Please do not drop off students prior to 8:25 am as we do not have staff on hand to greet them until 8:25 am.
CURBSIDE REMINDERS FOR OUR PARENT LOOP-
We want to take time to remind all parents using the parent loop about our curbside safety rules. New numbers are issued each year for students using curbside for dismissal. Families can sign up for curbside numbers during our Open House on August 8th. Please remember that curbside drop off times are from 8:25-8:45 am each morning. We ask parents to remain in their vehicles to keep the line moving. Students should be ready to exit with their backpacks ready when vehicles reach the cone zone. Parents should not get out of their vehicles during morning drop off or afternoon pickup times. It is important to follow the directions of our staff working in the curbside loop and keep the line moving. Thank you for your cooperation! We want to make sure our lions are safe during arrivals and departures in the parent loop!
FOOD SERVICE INFORMATION-
*Breakfast and lunch will be provided to all students free of charge for the 24-25 school year. Students may also choose to pack a lunch.
**More information will come out soon! We hope you enjoy the remainder of your summer!
