Navy Update - 8.18.24

Welcome Back!

open house

 

We had a fantastic time seeing families during our Open House and Back to School Presentations last week! It was wonderful to see the excitement as students and families met their teachers and reconnected with friends. We can’t wait to welcome our students tomorrow morning for the first day of the 2024-25 school year!

Doors will open for students at 8:25 AM, with our bell schedule running from 8:50 AM to 3:30 PM each day. Families, thank you for taking the time to review arrival and dismissal procedures with your children. Our goal is to begin reinforcing routines and procedures right from day one. However, family members are welcome to walk students to class on Monday and Tuesday as needed.

If your child is a bus rider, we strongly encourage them to start taking the bus from the first day of school. This helps establish a consistent routine from the beginning.

Thank you for your support, and we’re looking forward to a great year ahead!
