2. Breakfast is served from 7:15-7:45 AM each morning.

3. Prek and Kinder students go to the library each morning.  They are supervised there until teachers pick them up at 7:45 AM.  Both Prek and Kinder students eat breakfast in their classes.

4. First –Fifth grade students go to the cafeteria for breakfast.  Fifth grade students are dismissed to the gym at 7:30 or after they have finished their breakfast. Second, third and fourth grades wait in the cafeteria until 7:45 when they are dismissed to class. Those students who are in portables are picked up from the cafeteria by their teachers at 7:45 AM.
