   • present a negative COVID-19 test result before being admitted back into school.

Late Arrival: Students in grades K – 5 arriving after 9:10 am are considered tardy.  A parent or guardian must park in the south parking lot and call the main office at 349-5509.  The principal or a staff member will meet the parent or guardian outside Entrance #1 where your child’s health screen status will be reviewed.  Students who are approved to enter school will do so.  Students who have not completed their daily health screening at home will be health screened by a staff member to determine their status for the day.
