Late Arrival
Everyone should be aware of the process of entering the parking lot and the school in the morning. Please note that once the students' entrance door has been closed, students who are just arriving are considered late. Mrs. Meyers will check to see that the parking lot line of cars have all dropped off their students and then she will close and lock the door. Students will then have to come to the main entrance, ring the bell and then proceed to the main office to sign in and receive a late pass. All students MUST adhere to this rule.
