First Day of School - Monday, July 27th

Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year!

School starts at 8:00 am - Be sure to be on time to school

The school campus will be open at 7:30 am for students being dropped off in the mornings. Breakfast service begins at 7:30 am and continues until 7:55 am. Students line up from morning recess at 7:55 am to head into classrooms. Students are expected to be settled into their seats by 8:00 am each morning to begin the announcements and activities of the day. Students arriving late to school must be accompanied by an adult to the office to sign in and provide a reason for the tardy per state and federal regulations.

We have a new traffic pattern for student drop-off and pick-up. Exit Byers St., drive parallel to the buildings along Byers to drop students off right at the campus entrance gate. Have students exit the vehicles on the passenger side to avoid crossing in front of other cars entering the drop-off/pick-up zone. Exit the zone on Lincoln and turn back onto Byers. Do not park in the drop-off/pick-up zone. Do not park along any of the chain link fences around the campus of either side of the street. The large, open area by the campus entrance gate is for vendor/delivery use only – do not block this area – do not park in this space.

There will be a few parking spaces in front of the school, including two handicap accessible spots. Parking is available in the Music Mountain Church lot.
