Full Day Students

7:45-7:50AM ~ Students arrive and go directly to their classrooms to drop off their backpacks and coats. Attendance will be taken at this time.
(At 7:52AM, the front doors to the school will be locked and students should proceed directly to Mass through the front church doors. Students will then be considered tardy.)

* K & 1st Grade arrival ~ Kindergarten and First Grade students are expected to go directly to their classrooms upon arrival every Wednesday morning and on Holy Days of Obligation in order to attend our 8AM Mass with the rest of the student body. They are invited to attend Mass on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday with their classmates and teacher as well. If so, parents must drop off their Kindergarten and First Grade children at the main entrance to school where the students will proceed directly to their classrooms. If a Kindergarten or First Grade student does not attend Mass on optional days he/she should arrive at the main entrance of the school at 8:35AM and proceed to his/her classroom.
