OUR SCHOOL BELL TIMES HAVE CHANGED!!
NEW TIMES ARE AS FOLLOWS:
Drop Off Bell Rings - 7:15am
Morning Assembly Begins - 7:30am
Leader In Me Classroom Lessons Begin - 7:40am
Tardy Bell Rings - 7:50am
Dismissal Bell Rings - 3:05pm
Our Morning Assembly starts at 7:30 daily. Classroom Leader in Me Lessons begin at 7:40. Please make every effort to have your students on campus to participate in these activities every day. With our bell changes, we extended lunch to ensure students have more time to eat. This adjustment around lunch supports the need for an earlier start time for our morning activities. Students will not be marked tardy until 7:50 but we strongly encourage all students to be on campus by 7:30.
AM/PM WALK UP INSTRUCTIONS:
If you are utilizing walk-up as a method for drop off you must walk your student to the barricade. Park in a parking spot not in the driving lane. There are spots marked NDUE, you may utilize these spaces. In the morning, this option is primarily for students who ride with a high school student or have large items to carry in. The afternoon walk-up will adjust their exit time to 3:10. We will hold students until this time to allow NDHS students to exit the parking lot. If you plan to utilize this option please exit at the red light. Do not exit into the car line. All parents must stand behind the barricade and cones.
