☀️ A Few Morning Reminders for our SHE Families!

Now that we’re settling into the school year, we wanted to share a few reminders to help our mornings run safely and smoothly!

🚪 Doors open at 7:40 AM. Staff supervision does not begin until 7:40, so please do not drop students off unattended before that time.

🥞 Breakfast is served from 7:40–8:00 AM. If something happens and your child(ren) will be tardy but still need breakfast, please call the office and we will do our best to get them one.

⏰ School begins at 8:10 AM. Students arriving after 8:10 will be marked tardy. Please walk your child to the front doors and sign them in after 8:10.

🚗 The morning car line is for drop-off only. Please pull forward as much as possible and never leave your vehicle unattended in the car line. If you need to come into the building, please park and enter through the front office.

☎️ Remember to report absences. Parents/guardians are responsible for notifying the school of all absences. Please call the office before 9:00 AM or send a written note. If the school is not notified, the absence will be considered unexcused.

📋 Arrival after 10:00 AM or leaving before 1:30 PM is considered a half-day absence. Any documentation for an absence should be submitted within 3 days of the student's return to school.

Thank you for helping us keep mornings at SHE safe, efficient, and ready for a great day of learning! 💙💛
