Good to know
Every Monday is early release. Drop-off starts at 8:15 a.m. and class begins at 8:30. Tuesday to Friday, dismissal is staggered by grade, so pick-up runs in three waves. Before- and after-school care is through the district’s Kids’ Corner (opens in a new tab).
The 2026–27 slides list the minimum-day times for K–5; the school’s 2025–26 schedule (PDF), which has the same times as this year’s, dismissed TK at noon too. The school office has the final word on special days.

Drop-off & pick-up
Mornings
Drop-off starts at 8:15 a.m., and the school asks families not to drop off earlier. Class begins at 8:30 for every grade.
Afternoons
Arrive no more than 10 minutes before your child’s dismissal time. Cars that come earlier may be asked to pull around again, which slows the next grade’s pick-up. Keep your child’s name placard on the dashboard. There’s no sibling watch after school, so if siblings get out at different times, arrange Kids’ Corner or a carpool.
Where to wait
TK is dismissed at the front of the school; kindergarten at the Flaming Arrow gate. On rainy days, students are dismissed from their classrooms and the Flaming Arrow gate stays locked. Watch for the school safety zones on the neighborhood streets.
