Our School

How do I enroll my child?

Please see the Waterloo Community School District Website for information on enrolling your student.

 

What time does school start and when do I drop off my child?

Doors open at 8:30 a.m.  K-5 students are able to pick up breakfast (if they choose) and enter classrooms.  Students will be counted as tardy if they arrive after 9:10 a.m.

Pre-K drop-off is at 8:40 a.m.

 

What time does school get out?

The school day ends at 3:45 p.m. for all K-5 students.

Pre-K pick up is at 3:10.

 

Where does my child enter the building?

K-5 students come into the building at the main entrance.

Prek students enter on the right of the building, through the doors after the open fence.

How do I pick up my child early?

If you need to pick your child up from school early, call the main office to let them know when you will be arriving.  This will allow time for them to get your child and their items to the main office.  Once you arrive, you can either call the office to let them know or come up to the main doors and press the buzzer.  Someone from the office will bring your child out and ask you to sign them out on the log.

 

How can I reach my child’s teacher?

Email and telephone are the best ways to reach your child’s teacher.  Some teachers even use Seesaw or Class Dojo.  If you call during school hours (8:30-3:45), you will be transferred directly to the teacher’s voicemail since they will be with the students during this time.  Please leave a voicemail so they are able to call you back as soon as they are possible.

 

What do I do if I need to keep my child home for the day?

Call the office right away in the morning (try before 8:30 a.m.) to let them know.  If you have a note from the doctor, please send it with your child the next day.

 

How much does breakfast and lunch cost for my student?

Breakfast and lunch are FREE for all students.
