Important Notes
Running late in the morning? Don't join a line that has already gone in. Come to the main entrance on Adelphi Street. After 8:45am, you will need a late pass from the office.
Not going to make pick-up? Children who aren't collected on time wait in the main office or the auditorium.
Who is collecting? tell your child's teacher in advance — including any after-school program they're signed up for.
Collecting early? Come to the main office. They'll call up to the classroom and give you an early dismissal slip, which goes to the Safety Officer on your way out.
Outdoor time
Every grade has scheduled recess and outdoor play every day, weather permitting.
| Where | Supervised by | |
|---|---|---|
| 3K and Pre-K | The enclosed, gated school yard | School staff |
| Grades K–5 | Parham playground, at set times | School staff with It Takes A Village Youth Services |
Grades 1-5 eat lunch outdoors at the picnic tables in Parham playground and at the tables and stools in the schoolyard PTA funded, which are also used for outdoor learning projects and after-school programs. When the weather is bad, lunch and recess move indoors.</p>
