The Junior School Day

The school operates on an eight-day cycle, which is aligned with the Upper School for timetabling purposes so that facilities can be shared.

Morning Drop-off and Afternoon Dismissal Procedures The safe arrival and dismissal of our Junior School students is a priority and can be challenging due to many factors, such as congestion and weather. Both involve numerous faculty members, both inside and outside the building, dedicated to supporting the girls to enter and exit the building safely. Adherence to arrival and dismissal procedures by parents and caregivers is of the utmost importance. Drop-Off To ensure the safety of all of our community members, parents and caregivers must: drive slowly and not jump ahead in the drop-off line unless instructed to do so; stay in their vehicles; have students exit the vehicle curbside only; have backpacks and school materials easily accessible for a quick drop-off; and follow the instructions given by security personnel. These same procedures apply for pick-up. If your daughter arrives prior to 8 am, she must go directly to the Before School Gator Care Program.
