Parent Visiting Guidelines We encourage parents to visit our school. However, in order to avoid classroom distractions and “bad timing”, we ask that parents observe the following guidelines when visiting.

1. Do not accompany your child/children to their classroom(s) in the morning. Instead, allow students to independently make their way to class. This will support teachers and ease the home-to-school transition for students.

2. Make an appointment directly with your child’s teacher before visiting the classroom.

3. Feel free to visit during lunchtime anytime! We ask that you meet your son or daughter in the lunchroom. It is not necessary to make an appointment when you visit for lunch, but if you plan to purchase a school lunch, please let us know by 9:00 a.m.

4. Wait in the foyer for your child/children to be dismissed from class at the end of the day. After the 3:25 p.m. bell rings, you may go into the gym to escort your son or daughter from school.
