Drop-off starts at 6:45. Please use your personalized pin code at the front door to enter. Bring your child to the cafeteria for sign-in. If you are here after 8:45, please drop your child off as a car rider at the rear entrance by the playground. For safety issues and bus arrival, do NOT block the front of the school at this time. Thank you!
It is recommended that your child have breakfast at home or to pack a breakfast to eat at CARES. The free school breakfast given out at the start of school is typically used as a snack by teachers.
Before school is a great time for expending energy in the gym, playing with a smaller group of friends or having extra study time.

Chromebook Kids can enjoy school appropriate games. We try and limit screen time, but it is up to the child to make that choice.
Gym/Outside Different organized games are offered. Kids will vote on their choice. Some examples of choices are doctor dodgeball, soccer, capture the flag, knock-out revenge, pickle and pin-bombardment.
Homework Kids are offered this choice throughout the entire afternoon Monday thru Thursday. If you want to ensure your child takes advantage of this, please remind him/her. A staff member will be available for questions, but you will still need to check their work at home. Crafts Some days a craft will be offered. It is always an option as to whether the child wants to participate. If more interest is shown, crafts will be offered more often.
