Drop off and Pick Up: 7:00am-7:30am Please drop students off in the front of the school.  Please either use the right most lane for drop off, or park in the parking lot.  Please do not drop off in the middle or far left lanes.  With mornings often dark, we want to ensure all students get into school safe! 

Dismissal Pick up:  School ends at 2:42pm.  Please pick students up in the front of the school.  Please either use the right most lane for drop off, or park in the parking lot.  Please do not pick students up in the back of the school, as this is used for busses only.  

Lunch Routine: All students will have a 40 minute lunch/recess.  Half of each grade go outside for recess and half stay in the cafeteria to eat.  They then switch after 20 min. Please no Door Dashing or Community foods *EX a pizza for the table.   

Schedules:

Lockers:  Students will have a chance to get a locker at the beginning of Q2.  Students must model that they can successfully get to classes on time and model the DUTCH expectations daily in order to get one.  Students may bring their back pack with them from class to class.  In addition, textbooks will stay in classrooms. Students will be able to drop instruments off in the morning to the band or orchestra rooms and athletes can put their sports items in the athletic locker room before school as well.  

Chromebooks: Students will get a chromebook in advisory each morning.  This same teacher is their 7th hour class.  They will plug their chromebook in each afternoon and keep the computer at school.  If a student needs to check out a chromebook for work, they can do so in the front office.  They will take a loaner for this.  In addition, those in PATH or online classes will be able to take theirs home daily, with the expectation to charge it nightly.  

Special Education: Your student will have a case manager to help support your students IEP.  All casemangagers will connect with you in the first 2 weeks of school. During that time as well, they will make sure that all staff that work with your student have access to their IEP and understand the best ways to support them.  

504s- Your student will have a 504 coordinator, either Mrs. Legg or Mr. Koessel, who will help support your student’s accommodations.  In addition, they will make sure that all staff that work with your student have access to their plan and understand the best ways to support them.
