Safety Reminders:
Tardy Procedures on the Horseshoe:
Students must be inside the building when the tardy bell rings at 7:40 to be counted on time. There is no exception to this rule.
If your child arrives after the tardy bell has rung, you will be directed to park and walk your child to the main entrance to sign in.
Changes to Transportation
Permanent changes to a child’s transportation plan must be made by calling the office for assistance.
Our office staff must verify bus assignments in our system.
Parents must send the Change of Transportation Form when a change of transportation is needed for one day or a short period of time.
Scheduled Safety Drills
This section will stay on the Monday message each week so parents are informed about upcoming drills. There will be a fire drill this week.

We are delighted to welcome families to Back to School Night on Thursday, September 4. This is a time to hear from your child’s teacher regarding classroom practices and protocol.
