What a wonderful beginning to our 2010-2011 School Year! We send a huge thank you to our parents for being so supportive and positive and to our students for doing such a great job settling in to school.
---------------------------------------------------------------
For children to register for K for the 2010-2011 school year they must be 5 by September 30th. In order to register a child you will need to bring the following paperwork:
1. A certified copy of the birth certificate. A mother’s copy will NOT be accepted.
2. A proof of residence such as a utility bill receipt, etc.
3. Proof of immunizations. You will NOT need to bring the current immunization certificate. You will need to have your child’s medical provider or health department fill out the NEW immunization certificate and bring that certificate to school with you. If you do not have the proper paperwork, your child will not be allowed to register until the paperwork is complete.
We will not be able to accept Out-of-Zone requests. For students to attend PGE, they must be in our attendance zone. If you have any questions about this please feel free to call us at 323-7638 .

*** Congratulations to our Custodial Staff for scoring a PERFECT 100 on a recent inspection of our school! What an honor to have such devoted staff taking care of our building and keeping it clean each day!***
Drop Off & Dismissal: As we continue to adjust our procedures, we thank you for your patience. Please assist us with these times in the following ways:
In the morning, as soon as the SINGLE line stops beside the sidewalk, please allow your children to exit the vehicle. Adults will be present to help monitor and assist, but if we wait to unload until we reach the front of the line, we cannot get everyone into the building before school begins.
In the afternoon, we are going to try a SINGLE line just as in the morning to see if we can load more quickly. Again, this is all subject to change, and you have been wonderful to work with us.
School Hours:
-
7:15 - 2:15 for Grades 1-5
-
7:15 - 1:00 for Kindergarten.
-
Students are expected to be in their classrooms prior to the bell ringing at 7:15.
Car riders will be dropped off and picked up at the main entrance to the building. Please follow the signs that indicate for cars, and safety is always of the utmost concern. Buses will unload in a designated area. Students will have the option of going directly to the cafeteria for Breakfast or going to the Gym to await dismissal by classes.
Earliest arrival for students who are not in the Cub House program is 6:30A.M.
