Before School Routines

Morning supervision begins in the kindergarten centrium at 7:15. If you arrive before 7:15, please wait outside the centrium doors with your child until the morning supervision teacher is on duty. Messages for your child’s teacher may be left in the boxes provided outside the centrium doors. 

The first bell rings at 7:40. At this time children are able to go into their classrooms. The tardy bell rings at 7:45 and classes begin then. If a child arrives after the tardy bell, he/she should check in at the front office before coming to the classroom.

The first day of school parents may bring their child to the classroom. To prevent tears, parents should then quickly say their good-byes. It is generally helpful to the child if parents say good-bye at the classroom door.

After the first day, please leave your child at the double doors that lead into the kindergarten centrium. We have found that children have an easier time saying goodbye at the double doors than in front of their peers. A teacher will greet them and direct them to the appropriate area. There will be adult supervision for children who need to arrive between 7:15 and 7:45 in the kindergarten centrium.
