No cell phones are allowed in the classrooms even in book bags unless there is a medical reason which has been cleared with the director. Middle School students (grades 5-8) should then report to their classes. High School students must immediately sign in at the check in desk if arriving at the beginning of the day or at the director's desk upon arrival.

LUNCH TIME
Approximately one half hour is allotted each day for lunch and recess. Students should come to school with a healthy lunch and drink. Students will not have use of kitchen facilities (microwave, refrigerator) so please keep this in mind when you are packing your child's lunch.
Students recess outside whenever possible and should dress according to the weather including warm jackets, gloves, and hats during the winter months. For safety reasons, shoes should be worn that are appropriate for play on a paved surface, and open-toed shoes and flip flops are not permitted. Teachers and parent volunteers always supervise students at recess. Students will recess indoors during inclement weather.
