All classes start at 8:45 am.  Dismissal is 12:30 for half day Primary students and 3:00 for full day Primary students.  All Elementary and Middle School students are dismissed at 3:30.

Staff members are at the gate between 8:30 and 8:45 am to greet your child.  Staff is at the gate from 3 to 4 pm to assist children leaving school.  

Driveway safety is of utmost importance.  We ask you to observe the one way design of the driveway at all times.  When dropping off, please pull forward to the first or second position in the driveway near the gate area before letting your child out.

Please do not leave your car unattended in the driveway during drop-off/pick-up times.  You are welcome to park along North A Street if you wish to come into the school.  We encourage you to let your child walk in the gate and to class independently.

We appreciate your patience as families learn the drop-off and pick-up routines.  Parents whose children are dropped off or picked up by other family members, sitters/nannies or friends are asked to share this information with them.

We have been notified that the City of Tampa plans a water main project soon that will affect W North A Street in front of the school.  There has been no notification of a start date.  The work may take up to 3 weeks to complete.

Please use extra caution when the project is under way.  Parking on the street will be restricted during construction.

Even with mandatory seat belt laws, many children are killed and injured in automobile accidents in this country.  

Did you know that booster seats are recommended until children are old enough and large enough for the seat belts to protect them properly, which usually isn't until they are 4 feet 9 inches tall (57 inches) and are between 8 and 12 years old? 

Both the Centers for Disease Control and American Academy of Pediatrics recommend boosters and back seat riding beyond the minimum requirements of the law.  The Washington-based organization Safe Kids Worldwide recommends similar measures. 

We encourage you to check these resources and consider their valuable recommendations.
