The first day of school is Monday, August 12, 2024. Staggered start dates will be August 12, 13 and 14. (KG only)
School hours are 8:00 a.m. - 2:05 p.m. for students. "Eight Is Late". Please do not drop students off before 7:30 a.m. unless you are registered for morning care. There is no adult supervision outside before that time.
We offer quality daycare for our students that includes a before and after school program; before school from 6:30-7:30 a.m. and after school from 2-4 p.m. or 2-6 p.m. Students are registered for a space in the program and, therefore, payment must be made for the entire month whether your child attends one day a week or five days a week. The parent or legal guardian must complete the registration. Payment for August will be due on the first day of school. The cost of the program is determined by the School Board during the summer. You can contact Lenny Giambagno or call 561-741-5430.
If you have any questions, please call the school office, 561-741-5400 or email the Data Processor/Registrar, Lori Tufaro.
