Before The Bell Program
This program is designed to allow parents to bring their children to school as early as 7:00am.  During this time, children are allowed time to finish up homework, play board games, watch a video or whatever they choose to do.  The children are given breakfast and then they go to their respective classrooms for the start of the school day.  The parents pay $1.00 per day per child for the program.  This does not include the cost of breakfast.  For an additional .75¢ (.30¢ free/reduced) your child may also get breakfast.  This program operates from the first day of school until the last day of school.  This program is not available for conferences or bank days.  It is operating at all elementary school buildings that are able to maintain a minimum enrollment of ten students in the program.  Sign up with Mrs. Wright in the cafeteria, before or after school.
