school breakfast program, which begins at 8:15 a.m., or participating in a before school program (i.e. choir,
crossing guard, extra school work assistance, etc.). If a student arrives at school before 8:15 a.m. the student
must walk through the office waiting area and down the ramp to the gym. Once in the gym they are to sit
quietly against the designated wall and wait to be dismissed at 8:30 a.m. to go out to the playground.

kitchen. If a student arrives for breakfast before 8:15 the student will enter through the breakfast double doors
and sit quietly against the designated wall and wait for breakfast to be served at 8:15 a.m.
3. Students will walk directly to the “line-up” area for their class to drop off their backpacks and return to the playground until the bell rings at 8:40 a.m. If students do not want to drop off backpacks they must go directly
to the playground.
