This is a reminder for all students and staff about “arriving to school” in the morning. Students may enter the building at 7:20am. All exterior doors will remain locked until that time. Please do NOT “piggy-back” into the school behind teachers — who do arrive earlier — nor should you open the doors for your friends if you arrived early. Again, the school will be open to students at 7:20am. See you grade-level admin with any questions.
