ANNOUNCEMENTS, NEWS, AND UPCOMING EVENTS
- Rainbow Dreams Early Learning Academy is a closed campus; therefore, only students may enter through the gates each morning (beginning at 7:30).
- When the bell rings at 7:30 a.m., students join their teachers at the designated classroom arrival/dismissal area. Students are offered breakfast, free of charge, as part of a state-funded program. Instruction begins promptly at 8:00 a.m. for grades Pre-K and Kindergarten. Students who are not in their classroom by 8:00 a.m. are missing instruction and will, therefore, be marked tardy. Please make every effort to ensure your children arrive to school on time.
- Students are dismissed at 3:00 p.m. (meaning instruction continues until 3:00). At 3:00, students pack up and teachers walk their students out of the school toward their assigned exit gates. Unless attending Dream Care, students must leave campus promptly at dismissal.
- Parents are asked to park their vehicles safely and legally, then meet their child in their designated location; please do not park or leave cars unattended at red curbs or blocking other traffic. Also, please be considerate of our neighbors’ properties and leave access areas unblocked.
