Attendance Matters!  Please make sure to send your child/children to school daily!

The school day begins at 8:30 am and ends at 3:40 pm.

The doors will open as early as 8:15 am for students to grab and eat breakfast between 8:15 - 8:30 am.

Please do not leave students unattended prior to 8:15 as there is no one outside to supervise them.

As an added safety precaution, Gardner students participate in the Kiss-and-Drop Policy. This means that parents should hug and kiss their child prior at the main entrance prior to them going into the building, as they will walk to the lunchroom indepedently.  

Kindergartners are dismissed out of door number two (2) on Mansfield Street.

First and second-graders are dismissed from door number one (1) at the main entrance on Mansfield Street.

Third-graders are dismissed from door number seven (7) near the large playground with the basketball court.

Fourth and fifth graders are dismissed from door number four (4) on Whitlock Street.

We ask any parent or guardian that wishes to pick their student up early to report to the main office to sign them out.

For early dismissal, we ask that parents arrive before 3:00. Students will be called down to the office prepared to go home.

After 3:00, parents have to wait outside until dismissal at 3:40. 

Parents that arrive after 3:40 must report to the main office to sign out the child/children.
