Hello, Little Beaver Families! Tomorrow's our big day!! We can't wait you see you all in the morning! Morning drop off begins at 7:00 and the tardy bell rings at 7:35. Car riders will be dropped off at the third grade wing entrance between the main parking lot and the building. Those doors will close at 7:30, so anyone arriving after that time will need to come to the main entrance in front of the school. Afternoon dismissal begins at 2:20. Parents will drive down to The Pavilion to turn around and will then drive back up Southview to join the car line. Once buses leave, cars will proceed through the bus loop and in front of the main entrance to pick up their child/ren. There should only be a single line of cars in the bus loop/front of the school. Get a good night's rest and come in wearing your brightest smile in the morning!
