- Parents Picking Up On Centre Street: Parents who pick up students who leave by the CASP entrance on Centre Street are kindly asked not to stand in the circular driveway of the residential building next to our school while they wait, or to allow their children to play on the trees on their property. Parents are instead encouraged to wait for their students inside the school’s gates. Thank you.
- Arrival and Dismissal: The school hours are 8:30am-2:30pm. We open each morning at 8:15am for breakfast and students may proceed to homeroom. All parents are welcome to escort their child to class if they arrive before 8:35am. Anyone who arrives after 8:35am is marked tardy. Also we are asking that families do not dismiss their child after 1:45pm to assure a safe dismissal transition.
- Social Media: If you are on Twitter be sure to follow me @principalgrassa. This is a great way to share up to date information about the Curley.
