School Hours &
Important Transportation Info
8:50 AM - 4:15 PM
- It is highly recommended that students arrive early (before 8:50
AM) only if they have a specific reason (appointment with teacher, intramurals, etc.).
- No student should be dropped
off before 8:15 AM; there is no supervision
available prior to this time and the front doors remain locked until
8:15 AM each morning. Students who arrive early will report to our
cafeteria and sign in for silent study hall.
- Students should be in homeroom when the
bell rings each morning at 9:10 AM to avoid being marked tardy.
- All car-riders should be off campus by 4:30
PM each afternoon.
- Please send a note in with your student if an early check-out is required or you are making any transportation changes
for the day other than your normal arrangements.
- Early dismissals are accepted until 3:45
PM. If you arrive to check out your student AFTER 3:45 PM, please
accept our apologies but we will not be able to call into
classrooms. Students will be dismissed at the normal 4:15 PM dismissal time.
- All last-minute transportation changes must
be completed by 3:45 PM to ensure we have adequate time to communicate this with
your student. For safety reasons, no transportation changes will be announced at the end of the day.

Georgia Milestones Testing Schedule
April & May 2019
All students will take the End-of-Grade Milestones
Assessments online this year. In order to accomplish
this, the testing will be spread out across several weeks.
Each grade level will test on separate days, and there will be
multiple testing sessions on each test day (ie. some students will
test in the morning while others test in the afternoons).
Schedules will change daily beginning on Monday, April 15th.
Please help us by ensuring your student
is present for the full day on the dates his/her grade level is
testing.
